There are 97 more beagles at a Palm Beach County animal shelter.
Big Dog Ranch Rescue has received the latest round of dogs freed from a Wisconsin breeder connected to animal testing labs, bringing the total to just under 400.
The beagles are a small portion of the 1,500 rescued from that breeder as part of an agreement with a nationwide nonprofit.
Big Dog in Loxahatchee Groves will be getting more of the dogs but workers there say they are "tapped out" and need to make room, while the beagles are being readied for adoption.
So the rescue is hosting a Mother's Day-focused event. They're lowering the adoption fee from $250 to $100 through Monday on female dogs that have mothered puppies.
