Humane Society’s Beagleversary Bash reunited thousands of dogs rescued from Virginia breeding facilities last year
The Humane Society reunited thousands of families and their adopted pups at Bark Social, a beer garden and social club for pet parents and their pupsThe facility, owned and operated by Envigo RMS, was accused of animal welfare violationsin Virginia. Shortly after they were rescued, the beagles were adopted out to thousands of lucky families across the U.S. — which means those families are celebrating their one-year adopt-a-versaries with their pups.
To observe this major milestone, and to reunite the rescued dogs and their families, the Humane Society of the U.S. hosted a historic event called “Beagleversary Bash” on Friday. According to a press release sent to PEOPLE, the event took place atThough the party was obviously fun for the dogs and their families, it was particularly momentous for HSUS staff members.
The federal government filed a civil enforcement case in May 2022 against Envigo RMS, which was accused of animal welfare violations. After the case was filed, U.S. District Court Judge Norman Moon issued a restraining order imposing restrictions on the facility,reported last year that investigations had found underfed, ill, and injured dogs at the facility, and dogs that were euthanized rather than given medical care.
After the beagles’ removal, they were taken in by shelters across the nation, to treat and rehome the dogs. That made the reunion filled with even more emotion and joy for those heavily involved during the rescue process.“Last time we saw these dogs, all they knew was life in a mass-breeding facility. They had never been in a home.
“Today, we celebrate the remarkable journey of these beagles, who have gone from life in a mass breeding facility to that of cherished family members,” Kitty Block, president and CEO of the HSUS, also stated. “These beagles represent the loving homes every dog deserves, as well as the tens of thousands of dogs currently held in laboratory breeding facilities and used in painful experiments. We all have a role to play in putting a stop to the suffering of animals just like the #4000beagles.
