November Town Hall – Ridglan Farms: The Path Toward Accountability and Change (CLICK HERE)
The Beagle Alliance was blessed to rescue 10 beagles from a laboratory along with our rescue partner Cage To Couch.
Slowly adjusting to a world outside of being poked, prodded and handled, these beautiful souls still shy away from a gentle hand and a soft voice. THEY ARE TRAUMATIZED.
Animal testing happens everywhere – yes even in Canada – and yields results that are less than expected in terms of treatments and cures, leaving behind a trail of PTSD and anxiety not only for the animals but also for the animal care workers.
This week, instead of being euthanized after study, which is common practice, especially in Canada, we were able to offer 10 beagle boys a second chance at a life and one that all dogs deserve.
This week, these boys will have a chance to play, have a toy, feel a soft touch, sleep in a bed, and walk on grass.
This week, these sweet beagles will experience safety, freedom, and love!
It takes so much to finally see the rewards of a rescue and relationships are key. The laboratory needs to agree to release the beagles, documents are signed, and legalities adhered to. Rescue partners come together and volunteer angels rally to transport, foster and donate to medical care.
When a rescue happens, it appears easy and calm and planned to perfection. Not always so. There are so many moving parts and so many that must align to finally be driving to safety with 10 beagles and not going to lie – sometimes at the 11th hour a lab calls you and says NO – and you cry and you yell and you get up again the next day and start over – because their lives are worth it – and you have to keep trying.
Lori Cohen, Director of Operations for The Beagle Alliance, was interviewed by Morgan Modjeski of CityNews, Winnipeg on the road home. SEE MORE
Beagles are used because they are forgiving, docile and fit easily into a cage. They should hate us humans – but instead they offer forgiveness and eventually trust. They can teach us more about being human than any other.
Over 10,000 dogs were used in research in Canada in 2021 – that we know of – and one beagle at a time can change that.
We will change that!
Let’s make change together, see how you can be a part of the movement.

Let the laboratories know that we don’t want them to use animals for testing, and to find alternatives in order to continue their work.
ATTN: Manitoba Residents - Kinsmen Club of Winnipeg has invited The Beagle Alliance to be part of their 50/50 Raffle running now!
We are funded by donations, grants and fundraisers.
Please consider speaking with your MP about animal free science. These innovative methods have already proven to be more effective for humans, less expensive - and of course would save the lives of so many animals.
