Allie
They call me Allie, I’m only 2 years old, and man, I gotta say, it’s been a rough and scary 2 years. People tell me I was a part of something called the illegal dog meat trade (#DogsInTheDark). I know I’m young and everything, but I don’t like the sound of that… Luckily, I was rescued before I could figure out what that meant! When they found me, I was a mess, but these nice people gave me a bath and made me feel so much better! Before them, I…
River
My name’s River! It’s crazy to think Lucy and I have been with each other for 6 years, but it honestly feels a lot longer. We’ve been through so much in those 6 years that we’ve become each other’s backbone. We were both used for drawing blood, we both lived in constant fear, and we never knew what it was like to feel loved…until today! Since being rescued, I’ve gotten more love and belly rubs in the last few days than I’ve gotten in the last 6 years, I’ve played…
Lucy
Hi! You can call my Lucy, Me and my pal River have had a pretty rough first 6 years old life. We’ve never experienced the outside world or even a gentle human touch. We were pretty scared, but we leaned on each other to make it through. Why is that you might ask? We were used for drawing blood. We were kept in cages and were used for the wants/ needs of other people. People who didn’t care for me, or any of my friends—they treated us as if we…
Boomer
Howdy! My name’s Boomer! I’m pretty young, but I have experienced more than anyone should in a lifetime. I called a cold, metal cage my home for 2 years, I never knew what the future held for me, and I was constantly in a state of fear. I was kept in a laboratory testing facility and used for the needs of others. It’s been crazy to say the least…but things just got even crazier. I woke up in my cage as if it was a normal day, but when I…
Missy
Hi! How are you? My name’s Missy! It’s crazy to think the first 7 years of my life have already passed me by. I couldn’t do anything about it though… my life was at the hands of the laboratory testing facility. I can’t even put into words everything I’ve been through and seen, no one would believe it—but I promise you it happened. My life has been a roller coaster ride to say the least: 7 years of being locked away to being as free as a bird! It’s pretty…
Mara
Howdy! My name’s Mara, what’s yours? I can’t wait to meet you! I’ve got a lot of interesting stories to tell you—some you probably won’t believe. Whether that be living in a cage for 7 years or never experiencing a gentle, kind human touch. Crazy, right?! My life has definitely been rough, but I promise it’s a whole lot better now! I was rescued from a laboratory testing facility and have been living the dream ever since. I have the freedom to run and play whenever I want, I can…
Danny
Danny here I’ve called the same metal cage “home” for 8 years now. I’ve heard they’re really nice, but I never had the privilege of using one. Why didn’t I have something as simple as a bed to sleep in you might ask? Well, me and some friends were kept inside this building called a laboratory testing facility. We were kept in cages until we were “needed” and then just thrown back when they were done with us. It was awful. I lived in fear every day. But then, in…
Taran
Hi friends, my name is Taran! 7 years is a really long time… that’s how long I was in a laboratory testing facility. 7 years of not knowing what’s going to come next. 7 years of fear and anxiety. 7 years of hoping… All of that optimism must’ve paid off because I’M FREE! I’ve been dreaming my whole life for this moment, and I must say, it’s definitely everything I hoped it would be (and even a little more)! No cages, big backyards, more toys than I could ever imagine,…
Shane
Hey, I’m Shane! At only 9 years old, I’ve seen some mind boggling things...things no one would ever think about. I’ve been frozen in fear, stricken with anxiety, and confused as to why they think doing this to me and my friends was good idea. Now that I’m free, I can proudly say “I’m a laboratory testing survivor!” I’ve made some huge strides since being rescued, but I still have a long way to go. I’m just waiting to find my forever home and with your help, I know I…
