CHIPPEWA TWP. ― Four of the Envigo beagles met up for playtime lately in Beaver County.
They have been among the many 4,000 beagles rescued in 2022 from a Virginia laboratory in the biggest dog rescue in U.S. historical past.
Holly Hannum of Chippewa Township adopted one beagle, Dexter, from the Beaver County Humane Society, whereas Amy Zurynski of Center Township adopted one other, Milo. Research by Zurynski, primarily based on an Envigo Beagle rescue Facebook web page, discovered these two beagles have been siblings and a 3rd sibling beagle, Mike, was now dwelling with the McKeel household in Monaca, Hannum mentioned.
The three sibling beagles reunited a couple of weekends in the past for a playtime reunion joined by their momma, Roo, visiting from an adopted household in Virginia. Another sibling, sister, Polly, mentioned hey by way of Facetime from Spokane, Wash.
“The beagles are thriving and dwelling their greatest lives with loving households who adopted them and rescued them from the testing they’d have endured by dwelling within the laboratory in Virginia,” Hannum mentioned.
