Laverne is doing amazing in her foster home, where she is staying with Matilda, an Envigo survivor from our very first rescue.
Laverne’s foster family tell us that this sweet beagle is eager to please and happily wags her tail every time you meet.

She is friendly with kids and other dogs. 

Though still quite skittish and reactive to sounds, Laverne is already enjoying short walks and is even starting to play with toys, a crinkly peanut man being her current favorite. 

This beautiful beagle enjoys watching TV on the couch and is a pretty big snuggle monster. 

Laverne was rescued, along with 9 other beagles, from an animal testing laboratory.

Until now, she’s known only a cage and the inside of a laboratory as her whole world. 

Things are about to get so much better for this sweet little beagle!
