Research Animal Retirement Act mandates adoption of cats and dogs previously used for research.
The Research Animal Retirement Act requires research facilities to offer retired research animals for adoption. These animals must be offered through animal rehoming organizations or animal shelters, or directly by the facility to individuals. The Act exempts animals deemed unsuitable for adoption or those with substantial medical conditions preventing successful integration into a home. Facilities can establish guidelines for adoption suitability and must post these on their websites.
