🐾 Dozens of beagles are in foster care around San Diego County after being rescued from a facility in Virginia where they were bred for lab testing. NBC 7's danawilliamstv 🐾 HWAC
“I’m just so glad they have a bright future,” said Monica Petruzzelli, as she fought off tears thinking of what the beagles have gone through in their short lives. She works at HWAC, but is also the proud foster mom of a beagle named Thatcher.
“We typically have a very loud van that’s coming in full of barking dogs, just dogs who are very, very loud and excited,” said Petruzzelli. ”When this intake came in, they were all quiet. They were as quiet as could be, all 43 of them. They’ve never known not to be scared.” The people who have opened their homes to the beagles were surprised at how quick the animals were to accept love and care, but hints of their past show through. Some of the dogs don’t yet know how to respond to tennis balls or chew toys, and prefer sleeping on the ground instead of their new cushioned beds.
