NWABR is proud to support local non-profit, Washington Adoption Center for Retired Research Animals (WACRRA). Founder Holly Nguyen (left) envisions the gift of loving homes to these worthy retired research heroes. Cleverly, she calls Rehoming the “4th R”, part of the Replace, Reduce, Refine approach to responsibly minimize the use of animal models in research while enabling amply powered science. These gorgeous rats (left) were the first retirees rehomed in Holly’s organization. Interested in donating, fostering or adopting?
