-Yep mostly beagles are bred for scientific torture albeit any animal will do. There are some "humane/anticruelty/welfare" animal organizations that actually sell animals to research facilities. Always always check into whether your local shelter euthanizes and or works with research facilities.
given that they work so hard to keep the streets dog free, I wouldnt doubt some places get good pay selling dogs for research. In CA they force you to get your dog fixed before you can get your dog back from the pound if they picked it up. In a way, fixed dogs are good, but its not great they force you nearly by law to do it. I bet their gibelottes sell for more than i think. Beagles are popular because they are large with short legs so they save on space when your breeding them in bulk and need to store the product for later (puke).
(edit to add) i wasnt aware of Indians eating dog and cat, but if they're also the people who don't eat cow that would make sense. I wouldnt say eating dog is a deal breaker if your family needs to survive, but I'm probably not going to be friends with people who eat breeds of animals that are meant to be pets.
