e transfer plan comes as a
result of a lawsuit led against
Envigo by the Department of
Justice in May, alleging Animal
Welfare Act violations at the
facility. Repeated federal inspec-
tions have resulted in dozens of
violations, including ndings
that some dogs had been “eutha-
nized” without rst receiving an-
esthesia, that dogs had received
inadequate veterinary care and
insu cient food, and that they
were living in unsanitary condi-
tions.

“It takes a massive network of
compassionate, expert shelters
and rescues to make an opera-
tion of this scale possible,” said
Lindsay Hamrick, shelter out-
reach and engagement director
for the Humane Society of the
United States. “We are deeply
grateful to each organization
that is stepping up to nd these
dogs the loving homes they so
deserve.”
