Big Dog Ranch Rescue enters agreement to purchase 1,500 beagles from Ridglan Farms
Reported byRise for Animals ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Multiple credible sources (PBS Wisconsin, WKOW, Animal Wellness Action, Dane County Humane Society, Beagle Freedom Project) confirm Big Dog Ranch Rescue and Center for a Humane Economy purchased ~1,500 beagles from Ridglan Farms in late April 2026 for undisclosed price. Dogs received medical care, vaccinations, microchipping, and placement in rescue networks.
Source appears to be a news/advocacy site. The claim accurately reflects the agreement announced April 29, 2026. Additional 135 beagles were released June 2, 2026, bringing total to 1,635+. This is part of larger trend to phase out animal testing.
