The pups are part of a group of 48 who made the trip from Virginia last week.
4,000 beagles were rescued from unsafe conditions at a medical facility in Virginia last month. They came from the Envigo facility in Cumberland, Virginia where they were allegedly bred to be sold to labs for animal experiments.
More than 1,000 applications were received by the Humane Society of Broward County for the dogs last week.
The Humane Society of Broward County is accepting donations on their website and many other dogs are available for adoption at the facility.
