All 4,000 beagles have been recovered from a Cumberland-based medical contract breeding facility called Envigo.

Nearly two dozen dogs rescued from Envigo medical facility in Cumberland, Virginia made their way to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue in Fairfax Station. FOX 5 was there to watch these animals' lives change for the better right in front of our eyes.

"Our Animal Rescue Team’s work to transfer these beagles is a milestone in a fight we’ve been waging for years," Kitty Block, president and CEO of HSUS, said in a Thursday statement. "It’s ironic that these dogs were only spared from a lifetime of pain, suffering and isolation in testing labs because this breeding facility was cited for Animal Welfare Act violations. Most of them would have been sold and spent their short lives in laboratories.
