CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Elgin animal shelter that took in 100 beagles rescued from a Virginia breeding facility is opening its doors once again.

The first leg of the rescue was such a success, the Anderson Humane Society tells our news partners at WBBM Radio. It plans to take in 75 more beagles.

Earlier this month, CBS 2 reported 4,000 dogs were in need of rescue. Within 24-hours of taking the beagles in, all 100 had at least a temporary home. Most of those initial beagles are already in forever homes.

Anderson Humane plans to take in the addition beagles in a couple weeks.

It’s officially August, which can only mean one thing: 100 rescue beagles will soon be on their way! Please consider donating to help cover the cost of care as we transition these pups into their forever homes.
