“Beagles, Freedom, and Fighting for Justice”
This week on A Dog’s Devotion, I sit down with Shannon Keith, the powerhouse founder of the Beagle Freedom Project — an organization that has changed the future for thousands of animals used in research labs around the world.Shannon’s mission is both courageous and urgent: rescuing beagles and other animals from laboratory testing, fighting the systems that keep them hidden, and giving these dogs the chance to experience love, sunshine, and freedom for the first time in their lives.In this emotional and eye-opening conversation, Shannon shares: 🐾 Why beagles are the number one breed used in testing (and what most people don’t know). 🐾 How Beagle Freedom Project rescues, rehabilitates, and rehomes dogs who’ve never stepped outside a cage. 🐾 The incredible transformations these animals undergo once they finally experience compassion. 🐾 The legal battles, the victories, and the ongoing fight to change outdated laws. 🐾 What we can all do to help end animal testing — and support the dogs still waiting for freedom.This is a powerful episode that will move you, challenge you, and remind you why the human-animal bond is worth fighting for. If you love dogs, care about justice, or want to learn what’s really happening behind closed doors, you won’t want to miss this conversation.As always thank you for listening, this episode will really open your eyes to the amount of dog testing that is still going on across the US, right in our own backyard, in places you would never guess. It is so sad to see these poor helpless animals suffer, and l am hoping this episode will shine a light on this so more people can get involved to stop it. Thank you, Carla
