Wisconsin beagle farm closing and hundreds of its dogs will be sent to a Florida rescue group
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Wisconsin beagle breeding farm that's drawn animal welfare protests is closing and its remaining dogs are being taken in by a Florida rescue group. Big Dog Ranch Rescue announced Monday that it has reached an agreement for the permanent closure of Ridglan Farms and the transfer of its 475 remaining beagles starting this week. The rescue group said some of the beagles will be sent to its Florida and Alabama campuses where they will be spayed, neutered, and prepared for adoption. The group acquired more than 2,000 of the farm's beagles in April. The dog breeding and research business didn't immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
