Mission Statement

The BeFreegle Foundation is a unique non-profit organization dedicated to providing sanctuary and rehabilitation to dogs that have been used in research.
The Foundation is dedicated to helping former research dogs become beloved companion animals through fostering each dog in a home environment until they become familiar with their new life and are ready to be adopted.
At the BeFreegle Foundation, we offer education, outreach, foster and adoption of these dogs through both the private and public sector via fundraising, merchandising, and participation in public events. We are committed to giving these dogs a new leash on life.
