Group of beagles rescued from Midwest laboratory
A group of beagles that spent their entire lives in a laboratory has been rescued by a Canadian group, and they are on their way to their forever homes.
“Beagles are the most used breed of dog used in laboratory testing because they are docile, they are forgiving and can easily fit into a cage, unfortunately,” The Beagle Alliance executive director Lori Cohen said.
The dogs will now go to Canada with the rescue where they will be fostered and then adopted.
