Former research dog's to be adopted - Catherine - 09-15-2025
St. Joseph's Hospital in London, Ontario was caught doing research on dogs. They were sneaking the dogs in so they knew they were in the wrong.
The research was shut down right away. But what about the dogs?
Their care has been transferred to Western University's Animal Care Committee who has arranged for an organization to handle their adoptions.

They have chosen not to tell us who is handling the adoptions, but the dogs are being adopted. That is what really matters.
I think groups considering clandestine research will hesitate. They won't want the negative media attention.
So not only are these dogs being saved, but other dogs in the future are being saved, because the lab won't even start to use dogs.
