The animal rights organization said it plans to remove the beagles from the facility on Wednesday, bringing the total to 1,635 beagles that have been rescued from the facility since last month.
The latest batch of beagles will be divided between rescue groups, with Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Loxahatchee Grove, Florida, taking 67 dogs, officials said. The remaining pooches will be turned over to the Southern California-based Beagle Freedom Project, officials said.
