Help Build The ROC

"Brick by brick… dog by dog… we are laying the foundation to end animal-testing. Literally and metaphorically Beagle Freedom Project is building a safe space to help the countless dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs and other animals that have suffered unspeakable violence in research laboratories."

For $100, you can have a "brick" to help build Beagle Freedom Project's Rescue & Outreach Center.

It will be located in Los Angeles, CA and your name will appear on a brick used to create it.

The center will include an office and education building, senior housing, meet and greet exercise area, and other facilities to help support former laboratory animals that will start their new lives with compassion and love.

It's The 1st Of The Month - Bark, bark!

It's August. It's most likely hot where you are.

I know just what you need to relax & cool off.

BEAGLES!

Not what you thought I was going to say, huh?

Well, it's a new month & a new charity for Pin & Tack.

The Beagle Freedom Project

Their is really only one reason to support this cause.

It's the dogs, always the dogs. They deserve compassion, love & support.

The Tex-Mex Rescue: Seven beagles rescued!

Testing on animals is no joke & these dogs go through a lot of horrors.

And the sad truth is that it is not very helpful.

Less than 2% (1.6% to be more exact) of human illnesses are ever seen in animals.

"These first few moments of freedom captured by teary eyes . . ."

Beagles are chosen because of their gentle natures, ability to live in cages, and they don't cost very much to feed.

". . . now in their foster homes, getting veterinary treatment, nutritious food, and tons of TLC."

The Beagle Freedom Project rescues beagles from labs, then gives them a loving home.

It's that simple - at least when written down, but the work they do is far from simple or cheap.

In August, Pin & Tack will donate a portion of all sales to them. I encourage you to help out as well!

This Little Piggy . . .

Can you deny this piglet's adorableness? I've got a smile on my face. And for only $25, you can sponsor an animal like this at Animal Place. You can support in other ways, too: share on your social medias, shop, or volunteer. More animals deserve to have this type of joy, don't you agree? With blessings & joy, yours truly . . .
