Hundreds of beagles rescued from breeding facility being rehomed

  • On Tuesday, more than 200 beagles from a Wisconsin biomedical research facility arrived at Big Dog Ranch Rescue in Palm Beach County, Florida, experiencing grass and freedom for the first time.
  • Ridglan Farms, a biomedical research breeding facility in Dane County, Wisconsin, surrendered its state breeding license to avoid potential felony animal mistreatment charges, though the facility denies mistreating animals.
  • Big Dog Ranch Rescue and the Center for a Humane Economy negotiated a confidential agreement to purchase 1,500 of the 2,000 dogs for an undisclosed price, facilitating the large-scale relocation effort.
  • Evan Nader of Big Dog Ranch Rescue said the beagles are receiving medical care and will be ready for adoption in about three weeks, requiring time and compassionate foster homes.
  • Rescue partners nationwide, including the Animal Rescue League of Iowa and the Animal Humane Society, are accepting the remaining dogs and seeking donations to support the transition.
