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.
