The Beagle Alliance is a rescue and advocacy group working to reduce and eventually end animal testing, and also working to find homes for animals who have been released from laboratory research. Although The Beagle Alliance operates in Canada they also work in tandem with rescue and advocacy partners in the US. Our conversation touches on reasons why animal testing is still being done even though it’s often not relevant or useful, and on what we can each do to help educate and inform more people about viable alternatives. Learn more at

A conversation with Rise (rhymes with Lisa) Windell, Photographer at Windell Portraits.

In 2021, after losing her beloved black Lab Layla suddenly and unexpectedly, Rise found a way to channel some of the profound grief she was feeling. Since Labs are often known for being hungry food lovers, she remembered thinking “NO one should go hungry” so she set out to raise money for the Nourish Pierce County Food Banks, so far raising over $23,000. 

Rise uses her PawPrints promotions periodically to raise money for the food banks. She is a pet photographer and PawPrints is the name she coined for a style of photography she does. To quote: “ I lie under a glass platform with my camera and photograph pets from underneath them for a unique perspective. I collaborate with Notre Dog Academy owner/trainer Stephanie Beausoleil. She positions the pets on the glass and gets them to look toward the camera for me. Lots of treats are involved. So much fun.”

Rise also loves to photography pets with their humans so that long after they have left us we will still have beautiful and heartwarming photos to help remember them.

We are always so pleased to welcome back returning guest Jenny Hubbard of the Catherine Violet Hubbard Foundation. This organization was founded in the aftermath of the Sandy Hook tragedy, where Catherine lost her life. Catherine was a lover of all animals and living creatures and always wanted the animals to know that she was kind and they’d be safe with her. Support grew and donations of money and land led to the creation of the sanctuary. Today’s conversation focuses on the work the foundation is doing, which emphasizes kindness and compassion for all creatures, the first building about to be completed on the property (Catherine’s Learning Barn) and Catherine’s Butterfly Party which is held on the Saturday closest to Chaterine’s birthday each year. This year it will be held on June 7th. There are opportunities to volunteer and donate and to learn more please visit www.cvhfoundation.org
