Pound dogs - how to work with them in the research laboratory (2007)

LAREF [Laboratory Animal Refinement and Enrichment Forum]

Abstract

Animal lives could be saved if pound dogs, who have not been adopted in time, were given to research labs rather than killed and another healthy purpose-bred dog used for research instead. Working with pound dogs can be very challenging because the animals often show typical pet-behaviors thereby eliciting strong emotional attachment.
