The Midwest 10
These 10 rescued beagles were from a laboratory in the mid west. They had spent their lives in a laboratory being tested on, some for almost seven years.

Our First Rescue
ARME rescued two Beagles from a medical testing laboratory. These dogs had never seen the outdoors, walked on grass or felt a gentle touch. We captured their first steps into a kind world. They had also been de-barked and fed only “laboratory chow.” This is the rescue that kicked off Beagle Freedom Project! Freedom and Bigsby are now living the good life after spending a couple of years in a research laboratory.
