March of Dimes
The March of Dimes funded a study in which the eyes of mga kuting were sewn shut for one year, to prove that loss of normal vision alters the brain development of cats.

Other experiments funded sa pamamagitan ng the Red tumawid involved mice, rats and toads.
Shriners Burns Institutes
Shriners Burns Institutes have studied the effects of burns on rats, guinea pigs, Aso and tupa for years.
