The Beagle Alliance rescued 10 pups that were being used as laboratory test subjects
Ten sweet pups have made their first steps towards a life outside of a laboratory, thanks to the Beagle Alliance.
While the rescue organization cannot disclose the name or type of lab the dogs were rescued from or what exactly the animals endured, it is evident that they have suffered trauma, said Cohen. She has assisted in the rescue of more than 50 beagles from animal testing and is a fur mom to two pups, including the first-ever Beagle Alliance rescue.
The use of animal testing for research is legal in Canada and the USA. Most commonly, dogs are used in veterinary medicine and cosmetic testing. To give the animals an opportunity to experience life outside, the Beagle Alliance rescues the critters so that they can go “from lab to love.”
