Helping Former Research Animals Go From
LAB to LOVE
The Beagle Alliance places former research animals, specifically beagles, into loving homes – and advocates for animal free science. We believe that our collective love for dogs will spark change for all animals in research throughout Canada and around the world.
WE WILL BE THEIR VOICE – TOGETHER WITH OUR PARTNERS AND OUR COMMUNITY!

Thank you for wanting to care for a former research animal. It takes very special people to open their homes and their hearts – we are so grateful.
Our process includes an interview, home check and reference check; to get started, please submit a completed application by clicking the link below.

Your generosity allows us to continue to save lives! No amount is too small and every donation is deeply appreciated. On behalf of the animals we’ve saved and will save, we want to thank all who have given so generously to support our mission.
Advocacy
Animal Free Science
The Beagle Alliance advocates for non-animal use in science.
Suffering would end for animals, more effective treatments for disease would be available for humans, and if governments chose to grant funding based on the changeover to this model, private and public facilities would benefit monetarily and with greater staff retention. Then, the animal care workers could heal from the trauma of constant exposure to animal trauma.
Cruelty Free Shopping
Becoming cruelty free is a mission and a statement. It requires intention and research and is a process that is 100% worthwhile. When you start your cruelty free journey, you are making a statement with your earnings.

January Town Hall – Special Guest Justin Goodman
Thank you to Justin Goodman and White Coat Waste for an informative and impactful virtual town hall. Justin’s clear, thoughtful overview of the scope of U.S. government–funded animal testing—and the concrete, bipartisan efforts underway to expose and defund wasteful practices—was both eye-opening and encouraging.
