Atlanta rescue has 27 beagles bred for animal testing retired and soon ready to be adopted

In Atlanta, Georgia, the Atlanta Humane Society has welcomed 27 dogs and puppies transferred on Thursday after having been relinquished from an alleged facility that breeds animals for animal testing.

According to the organization, donations are needed for extensive medical needs.

“Twenty-seven beagles were just transferred into our care by HSUS after being relinquished by a facility that breeds animals for animal testing. These beagles were born and living in confined, unsanitary spaces, and their care will be expensive and extensive. They need your support right now.

Willow (pictured above) was one of the 27 beagles transferred to AHS by The Humane Society of the United States. Willow was born and has lived her entire life confined to a small space in unsanitary conditions, likely with little human socialization. When she arrived, as with the other dogs rescued, she is timid and unsure of what is happening.

All of the dogs have been welcomed with patience and gentle care and have begun to settle in. The medical team is examining the dogs and providing preliminary care including dental procedures, hair loss, masses and lacerations and wounds. Their care is expected to be expensive.
