Animals may be set up directly for <strong>adoption<\/strong> (by individuals), placed in <strong>shelters<\/strong> <strong>run by other animal protection associations<\/strong> (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.la-spa.fr\/missions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>SPA<\/strong><\/a>) while waiting to be adopted by families, or in <strong>specialized shelters<\/strong> that allow certain species to be placed (e.g. <a href=\"https:\/\/lahardonnerie.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>La Hardonnerie<\/strong><\/a>). <\/p>\n<p><strong>If you would like to adopt an animal that has been used for scientific purposes<\/strong>, please visit <a href=\"https:\/\/www.graal-defenseanimale.org\/blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the GRAAL website<\/a>, which will put you in touch with nearby shelters!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some laboratories are autonomous<\/strong> in their placement procedures from start to finish, and do not go through the intermediary of an association.

Moreover, unlike GRAAL, which has chosen to give priority to institutions (SPA and other shelters), Biovivo <strong>systematically reaches out to temporary foster<\/strong> families (most of the time VetAgro Sup students) for dogs before offering them for adoption. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7442fc09 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"7442fc09\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-49f540ac elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"49f540ac\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">In conclusion<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-839fb elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"839fb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Finally, although it is yet not possible to dispense with the use of animals to achieve certain new scientific results, <strong>many efforts are being made<\/strong>, on various levels, <strong>to take better care of their welfare.<\/strong> Some of them can even be <strong>rehomed and given a new life<\/strong> after their use in the laboratory.
