42 Beagles Were Just Rescued From A Bengaluru Animal Testing Lab And Are Waiting For New Homes!

Beagles are probably the cutest dogs ever. Earlier this week, an animal testing laboratory from Bengaluru released 42 of them.?

Hotel for Dogs?

Thankfully, Committee for the Purpose of Control and Supervision of Experiments on Animals instructed the lab to release all the animals. In fact, reports say that the government refused to give them permission to experiment with these dogs. Hence 42 of 156 beagles walked out to freedom. ?

Hotel for Dogs

This is the second batch of rescued beagles that has been released by the lab.

Thankfully, these cuties are being hosted at Hotel For Dogs in Sarjapur. ?

The plan is to have adoption camps every week, and potential dog parents will have to undergo a rigorous interview process.

These beagles are not new born, but between 2-4 years old. The problem is that they have never been in an open environment before, and getting them used to a normal lifestyle will be difficult.?

Adhishwar TA, co-founder of Hotel for Dogs, told Times of India, ‘The beagles were very skeptical when they arrived and adopting them is a little bit extra responsibility because of their past experiences. However, they are easy to handle because they get attached easily. They are slowly adjusting and will soon be mixing around with the other dogs here.’

Animal rights organisation CUPA (Compassion Unlimited Plus Action) has received over 460 applications.

Their volunteers will be counselling perspective dog parents to ensure that the families are mentally prepared for the long haul, as commitment from their side is a must. ‘The beagles might take a few months to adjust to the many new things that they will be exposed to in a home environment’ said Chinthana Gopinath, a CUPA volunteer handling the rescue and adoption.?

One of the 42 beagles released on Monday was diagnosed with scabies. Sadly, she couldn't be kept with the other beagles for fear that she might spread the infection.?

But, as luck would have it, a family willingly adopted her. She has been named Lola. ?

We reached out to Shravan Krishnan of Hotel for Dogs for his comments and are waiting for his reply.?

We salute him, and CUPA for spreading happiness in the lives of these beagles.?
