Welcome to Rescue Beagle USA.

This blog is dedicated to Lucky, my sweet little girl who passed away in her sleep peacefully on 12-14-12. Lucky was a lemon beagle and came to us as a "rescue" when she was about 3-years old. While she was initially scared, the poor thing was all of 20-lbs (and for her size that was severely under weight) with lots of love and snacks she became the best friend a person could ever have - please give a rescue beagle a second change!

AstraZeneca: Please set the Beagles free petition

Please sign this petition and help set the Beagles uses in research at AstraZeneca in Sweeden FREE!
 
AstraZeneca, a major international drug company, closed its research facility in Sweden. The beagles they used in their research are still being held and initially were slated to be killed – but AstraZeneca has reconsidered. This petition is to encourage the AstraZeneca to let these beagles be adopted.

Click here to sign the petition. Additional information about the petition can be found by visiting the Everyone Loves A Beagle Web site - click here.

Thank you for giving a voice to beagles that can not speak for themselves! Thank you for giving these beagles a second change - there are many loving and caring families waiting to adopt them! These beagles do not need to be killed.

AstraZeneca plc is a British-Swedish multinational pharmaceutical and biologics company headquartered in London, United Kingdom. It is the world’s fifth-largest pharmaceutical company measured by 2009 prescription drug sales (after Pfizer, Novartis, Sanofi, and GlaxoSmithKline) and has operations in… over 100 countries, including research facilities in Södertälje, Sweden.

Like every pharmaceutical company, AstraZeneca conducts experiments on animals. According to AstraZeneca’s own website, in 2011 AstraZeneca has used approximately 398,000 animals, including those used by external contract research organisations on their behalf. Approximately 76% (302,480) wererodents, 22% (87,560) were fish and the remaining 2% (7,960) included chickens, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, primates, pigs, goats and sheep.

I'm happy to say that their exist an excellent organization that rescues beagles from a life in research - TheBeagle Freedom Project

TheBeagle Freedom Project is a mission to rescue beagles used in animal experimentation in research laboratories and give them a chance at life in a loving forever home.
