Abstract

Adoption programs can be enormously satisfying for all involved — not least the animals themselves — and constitute an important refinement in humane animal care and use. Most of the potential problems associated with adoption can be minimized with careful thought and planning. The authors describe adoption programs at two large academic campuses, noting differences between direct and indirect programs.

Keywords: animal welfare, laboratory animal
