Laboratory Dogs Rescued: From Test Subjects to Beloved Companions

From leaving New Jersey to start a new life – and a holistic dog boutique –  in Montana to history, science and technology, Ellie and I cover a lot of ground in this episode.

Ellie’s life was forever changed when she was scrolling on social media one morning and saw a video that shook her to her core. This was a video showing laboratory testing on beagles.  A beagle owner herself, Ellie was horrified and decided she was going to do something about this.

Now the Dog Mom to two rescued laboratory beagles among the rest of her menagerie, Ellie now adds author to her resume. 

Ellie’s book, Laboratory Dogs Rescued: From Test Subjects to Beloved Companions, takes a look through the past, the present and the future of the use of animals in research. In the second half of the book, we hear from the organizations rescuing these dogs and many heart-warming stories from the adopters of beagles rescued from laboratories.

So what can we do about this?  A lot, actually!  Ellie shares many easy things that each of can do right from our phones to help.

While the topic of laboratory testing on animals may sound like a grim subject, this topic is discussed in a sensitive manner filled with fact-based information and tangible takeaways.
