475 Beagles Headed to New Homes

After months of protests and legal battles, Ridglan Farms’ final chapter is here: 475 beagles are finally headed to new lives thanks to Big Dog Ranch Rescue. The first 375 have already begun their journey, with the rest set to leave by early August. This marks the end of operations at the farm and a major win for animal advocates — many of these dogs are stepping onto grass for the first time. Rescues across the country are preparing to adopt them, with some going to Florida and Alabama first. While details of the deal remain unclear, it appears Big Dog Ranch purchased most of the dogs, with Ridglan donating the rest. The farm claims recent inspections found no welfare issues and blames years of “harassment” for its closure. For these dogs, though, the focus is clear: no more breeding, no more testing — just a second chance at love and forever homes. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
