Al Pacacino
Al Pacacino was rescued from an animal testing facility, where he had been relinquished after spending the first 12 years of his life as a ‘Show Alpaca’. After two long years in the testing facility, Al Pacacino is now looking forward to his new life of freedom. Al is a friendly and funny Alpaca, who enjoys spending time with his other friends at the sanctuary—especially where water is involved. Al Pacacino would love a home to call his own, with a fluffy friend or two or three to keep him…
Mr. Darcy
It is a truth universally acknowledged that any kitten in posession of considerable adorableness must be in want of a home. That kitten is Mr. Darcy. Mr. Darcy and his three siblings were found by a kind Beagle Freedom Project supporter in an industrial area of Los Angeles. Mr Darcy, Lilibet, Bennett, and Fitz had been orphaned in an area frequented by semi-trucks, and at just four weeks old, the Pride and Prejudice bunch didn’t stand a chance! One of the kittens was injured, and once in BFP’s care, all…
Fitz
Meet Fitz! Fitz and his three siblings were found by a kind Beagle Freedom Project supporter in an industrial area of Los Angeles. Fitz, Mr. Darcy, Lilibet, and Bennett had been orphaned in an area frequented by semi-trucks, and at just four weeks old, the Pride and Prejudice bunch didn’t stand a chance! One of the kittens was injured, and once in BFP’s care, all four were immediately taken to the vet. All four kittens are about four weeks old, 12 ounces (and growing!), and have since gotten a clean…

Lilibet
Meet Lilibet! Lilibet and her three siblings were found by a kind Beagle Freedom Project supporter in an industrial area of Los Angeles.

Fruit Loop
Hi, my name is Fruit Loop! My life hasn't been easy, but you wouldn't know it by my goofy personality. I spent my life in a cage until now. The moment they opened that cage door, and I saw all that grass, and all those two- and four-legged friends, I thought I must have found heaven. I sprinted. I sniffed--there were so many new smells! I played for the first time. I met so many nice people, and I made them all laugh! I was held, and loved. I'm still…
Tiger
Meet Tiger. Tiger was just rescued from an animal testing laboratory, where he knew nothing but pain and fear. He's about 4 years old. He's still a little shy, but we're working on gaining his trust and gently pulling him out of his shell. Right now he feels safest in the car, where he'll curl into a ball and fall asleep to the gentle sounds of the road. When he trusts you, he'll put his head on your knee and look up at you with the widest eyes, as if…
Flapjack
My name's Flapjack! Nice to meet you. This is the life. I have a fluffy bed, a full food bowl, a big backyard to run in, and to top it all off, there always seems to be a hand around for a good belly rub! What more could a guy like me ask for? It wasn't always like this. I grew up in a laboratory testing facility. The hands back then weren't for belly rubs, and I was so scared and so alone. I never want to feel that way…
Pop Tart
Oh, hi! Pop Tart, here. If you don't mind me saying, your lap looks super comfortable. And I can't help but notice that it's free. I would love to join you on the couch, there, if you don't mind the company! You see, ever since I found out that humans are capable of love, I just can't get enough! Most of my life was spent in a cage, and I have a lot of catching up to do. I'm learning how to play, and how to master stairs (I've been…
Waffles
Hi! Hi! Good morning! My name is Waffles, and wherever you are, that's where I want to be. Other people? Other dogs? I'd love to meet them! You see, I've never had a family to call my own before. I lived my life behind a cage door, where I spent every waking moment in a constant state of fear and anxiety. I was kept in an animal testing facility--but I never belonged there. The kind people that freed me tell me I'll never go back there again, and that they'll…
