Stepping Up for Research Dogs in Canada

Dog Research Exposed

Lori Cohen’s life changed forever when she got her first beagle and discovered the painful truth that dogs are still used in large numbers for experimental research globally—including her home country of Canada. She was so moved to help research dogs and help change the paradigm of animal testing that she founded her own rescue organization called The Beagle Alliance. Lori is currently the executive director of The Beagle Alliance, based in Manitoba, and their mission is to give dogs and other animals used in experimental research and situations of abuse and neglect a second chance at life. Lori reveals the challenges she faces trying to rescue dogs from research laboratories in Canada, and more about their critical mission throughout North America.
