LAB to LOVE - Give former research dogs a CHANCE!

May 14th, 2026 marked a precedent-setting moment in Canada.

Ontario has passed landmark legislation through Bill 75 to ban invasive scientific research and experiments on pet cats and dogs.

One province - ONE BEAGLE AT A TIME, we are making change!

For those of us who have looked into the eyes of former research dogs, this is deeply personal.

From fear to first tail wags, from LAB to LOVE, these dogs have shown us their freedom is worth every hard day.

There is still work to do.

Province by province, law by law, we continue fighting FOR THE ANIMALS.

In the meantime, we have some events that you will not want to miss:

FREE VIRTUAL TOWN HALLS: Links to register: https://thebeaglealliance.org/town-halls/

Tuesday, May 26th at 7:30 pm Central Support and Resources for People caring for the dogs out of Ridglan Farms: This will not be recorded for reasons of privacy.

Hosted by Lori Cohen – The Beagle Alliance, John Ramer – Kindness Ranch, and Chelsey Marino – Keeper and Kin, this special evening is designed for anyone fostering, adopting, or even considering welcoming a former research dog from Ridglan Farms into their home AND of for the incredible organizations who are facilitating this journey.

We know that so many have the best of intentions and may feel a bit lost with some dogs who are a little more challenging than expected – a little more shutdown, anxious, or simply not behaving in ways you expected.

WE GOT YOU!

Wednesday, May 27th at 7:00 pm Galgo Dogs out of Spain with SPCA International

IMAGINE a remarkable trip to Spain to advocate for, and rescue innocent galgos (Spanish Greyhounds), discarded after the hunting season.

Dear Friend!

Something special is coming. From March 17-20, your donation can go even further during GlobalGiving’s Little by Little campaign.

Thanks to GlobalGiving, all donations up to $50 will be matched at 50% while funds last. Every small gift adds up to create real change for so many dogs who need us to be their voice. We’re aiming to $5000 through this campaign.

We have shared a photo of Sir Reg, we are honouring his passing last week. We are also looking at the positive. Reg was destined to die alone, afraid and without a family.

When The Beagle Alliance stepped in, Sir Reg was given the opportunity to live out the very best years of his life - with LOVE, with RESPECT, with FAMILY.

These are YOUR stories, the stories that are only told because YOU chose to GIVE. From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU!

***The campaign starts at 10:00 AM EDT on March 17th Eastern. Save the date and get ready to be part of this global celebration of small acts creating big change!

With gratitude,

~ Lori, The Beagle Alliance
