Let’s give dogs and cats used in research the opportunity to be adopted into loving homes once their time in research laboratories has come to a conclusion.

The Humane Adoption of Companion Animals in Research Act, often called the Beagle Bill because beagles are the most common breed of dogs used in research, is a common-sense animal protection bill. It does not restrict the research itself; it just requires research institutions to work with willing animal rescue organizations to find homes for pets once they are no longer needed.
