The animals were rescued from an Envigo RMS facility in the city of Cumberland, where they were bred for drug production experiments, but according to one lawsuit, they were abused.
The U.S. Department of Justice (DoJ) sued Envigo in May, alleging violations of the Animal Welfare Act at its dog breeding facility. In June, Inotiv, the parent company of the “provider of research models,” promised to shut down the site permanently.
The release of the animals is part of Envigo’s agreement with the government not to pay fines.

The Humane Society said in a statement, 25 puppies died from exposure to cold at eight weeks.
