Life Saving Laws
It’s a simple and common-sense idea, when dogs and cats are no longer needed in experiments they should get a chance at a real life…. full of freedom and affection. All the labs have to do is not kill them. Sadly, many in the laboratory industry would prefer to do just that and are fighting to kill this bill (and the dogs).
From Hell to Hollywood
A story of survival in four acts… ACT 1. R+FP’s Chinese rescue partners pull two Mastiffs from a literal pit of despair. These two were destined to be someone’s dinner. They are alive, but just barely.
Big Hearts!
The heart is the strongest and hardest working muscle in a body. Its constant beating gives us life. It endures years of 24/7 labor and fluctuates with our activity. It is also, metaphorically, the most fragile part of all of us, sensitive to slights and so easily broken by betrayal. It never ceases to amaze any of us involved in rescue work just resilient the laboratory survivors are. Both biologically and metaphorically “the heart” it takes for a sweet little beagle, like Yoyo, to endure nine years of caged confinement,…
Eagles and beagles: Super Bowl champ Torrey Smith featured in billboard in support of 'Beagle Bill'
Former Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith, who will now have two Super Bowl rings thanks to the Philadelphia Eagles’ victory over the New England Patriots on Sunday, is still making his presence known in Baltimore. Smith, who last spring made a donation to BARCS that covered the adoption fees for every dog and cat at the animal shelter’s Pawject Runway fundraiser, is now featured on a billboard for the Show Your Soft Side campaign. In the ad, the former Terp holds a beagle, whose name is Lucia, alongside the tagline,…

Rescue Beagles: A Life Away From The Lab
Many research labs across the country use animals for testing products such as make-up or medicines. For the past decade, advocates have pushed to get more of these animals — especially research dogs — adopted after they are no longer needed. Just a handful of states have policies in place. Illinois just recently joined that list. Lucy is a three-year-old beagle who grew up in a research laboratory. Last year, she was rescued by the California-based organization the Beagle Freedom Project who paired her up with Lauren and Scott Knudsen…
Pudding’s Story
Imagine living in the world under a blanket of darkness… scared of what maybe lurking all around you, uncertain of what lies ahead of each step you take, not knowing where you even are at times. Losing ones vision is one the greatest fears humans have. Now imagine that you are not only blind, but also stuck in a laboratory cage. Your whole world is perceived through sound and smell. The loud clanging of metal doors and cages, the echoes of voices bouncing off cinderblock walls and cement floors, other…
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…
