I want to make all my friends aware of an animal rescue that is near and dear to our hearts. Being the proud owner of two wonderful Beagles, we couldn't believe the harm that laboratories inflict on them.We support the Beagle Freedom Project! Here's what they believe in and so do we: (direct quotes for their webpage)
"Beagles are the most popular breed for lab use because of their friendly, docile, trusting, forgiving, people-pleasing personalities. The research industry says they adapt well to living in a cage, and are inexpensive to feed. Research beagles are usually obtained directly from commercial breeders who specifically breed dogs to sell to scientific institutions.Testing done on beagles in university and other research facilities includes medical/pharmaceutical, household products and cosmetics. When they are no longer wanted for research purposes, some labs attempt to find homes for adoptable, healthy beagles. Working directly with these labs, Beagle Freedom Project is able to remove and transport beagles to place them in loving homes. All rescues are done legally with the cooperation of the facility."
Joe and I just found out about this great organization last year. We show our support by buying their yearly calender which is absolutely adorable. If you're looking for a loving pet, we would strongly suggest adopting a Beagle. Please check the shelters first. If we didn't have two Beagles we would totally be contacting them to help a Beagle find their FOREVER HOME.
