Paula’s Story
There is one in every rescue group. The dog that saw, heard, and physically felt too much. That special soul with a gentle psyche, so beautifully innocent and so very fragile. That one survivor in the group who is not enthusiastically bewildered by the exciting new concept of freedom, but instead shell-shocked and dazed. We remember their faces, like that of Abe, Raymond, and Lucia. On January 11th 2018, that dog was Paula. She is a Shepherd-Beagle mix and is only a year old. Ordinarily such a dog would…

Meet 15 Beagles Rescued From China at Vanderpump Dogs!
Today, fifteen beagles rescued in China will arrive in America — and be transported to the best possible place … the Vanderpump Dog Foundation. There, they will languish in splendor — and be rehabilitated — until someone adopts them. Could you imagine a better place to land if you are a canine down on your luck? In Lisa Vanderpump’s pink paradise, where you will be groomed by hot out-of-work models, and cooed at in a cloud of English rose perfume? The fifteen beagles were rescued by the Beagle Freedom Project,…
Year of the Dog!
1. What’s the story? Who, what, where, and why! The story is that: In September of 2017 our rescue friends at BeagleChina and their amazing volunteers managed to rescue over 25 beagles from experimentation from various laboratories throughout China. Most of these survivors were between the ages of 9 and 10 and suffering from serious health concerns. Over the course of the fall, BeagleChina and volunteers were able to find adopters for half of the dogs, primarily the younger and healthier beagles. The remaining dogs were moved to rescue centers…
Students take a stand for retired research animals
INDIANAPOLIS – Freezing temperatures, icy roads and a little snow couldn’t keep Eastwood Middle School students away from the Statehouse Monday morning to testify in favor of adoption of retired research animals. Senate Bill 16 would require universities and facilities across the state that use dogs or cats in experiments of any purpose to offer retired animals for adoption to the public or animal care facilities. The animals must be healthy and cannot have a significant medical diagnosis. The Eastwood sixth graders were joined by Jamie Archer of Illinois and…

I Love Lucy!
While many Beagle Freedom Project supporters learn about the organization through rescue videos, the Fricke family of Haddonfield, NJ, discovered BFP through one of the rescues himself. In July 2013, Alexander Hamilton, who goes by Hammy, left the laboratory where he spent the first four years of his life and was released as part of BFP’s DC7 group. The Fricke family’s longtime friend, Melanie, brought Hammy back to her home in Washington, DC, and begin fostering him. Just five days later, 10-year-old Lucy and her mom Rachel drove to DC…

Asher's Story
Greeting from a log cabin outside of Rochester, NY! This week we meet 5-year old Asher who has a peculiar habit of eating his house. Â Everyone. . .meet Ash-Potato!
