It was a special dog day of summer Saturday when more than 75 families who adopted beagles from Anderson Humane in South Elgin were reunited a year after the dogs were rescued from a Virginia testing facility.

She attended a reunion of beagle adopters Saturday at Brilliance Subaru in Elgin, where she was joined by her granddaughter Nyla Minson, 8, from left, daughter Telena Minson, son-in-law David Minson and grandson Elijah Minson, 6, and the Rockford family's rescue dog Buttons.
The beagles were brought to South Elgin with assistance from Brilliance Subaru, Anderson CEO and president David Daubert said.Some of the animals were collected by Anderson staff using two shelter vans while Keefe and dealership general manager Jim DaLuga drove an auto parts truck to get the rest. The trip took about 15 hours each way, Keefe said.

Gary was one of 4,000 dogs rescued from a lab in Virginia, 177 of which were taken in by the animal shelter and placed in local homes.“When we showed up at Anderson at 9 a.m. on Aug. 9 , we didn’t know what to expect,” said Greg Ives, of Crystal Lake.
Her adopted dog, Sparkles, was initially both aggressive and timid but has since grown to love children and gets along with her other pets, including her 18-year-old miniature poodle Missy.
