Research Beagles Touch Grass, Feel Sunshine For The First Time

After spending their entire lives in confinement as laboratory test-subjects, nine beagles have finally been given the chance to experience fresh air, unobstructed sunshine, and the feel of grass — simple pleasures that no dog should be denied.
On May 6, 2014, Beagle Freedom Project rescued nine beagles from a laboratory in Nevada. Until this day, these beagles had never known a kind touch, been loved or felt safe. Their lives are about to change forever.
The dogs were given a fresh start by the Beagle Freedom Project, a non-profit group that rescues, rehabilitates and finds homes for animals that have been retired from use in research labs across the country.
“Beagles are the most common breed of dogs used in laboratories because of their sweet and docile and forgiving nature,” says the group. “We don’t really know what was done to them, what type of testing they were included in, but these dogs are bred specifically for laboratory.”
