Rain, Shine, or Pandemic: PETA Is a Lifeline to These Dogs Living Outside 24/7

While COVID-19 has brought many aspects of our lives to a standstill, there has been no “working from home” for PETA’s field team. Most of the animals we assist have known nothing but quarantine conditions for their entire lives—as they are kept isolated and confined 24/7. However, the pandemic hasn’t stopped us from getting them the help they need.

More Than 111 Million Mice and Rats Used Each Year in U.S. Labs—Speak Up
