Thinking of adopting a rescued Ridglan Farms beagle? Here's what to know

from Lake Effect Spotlight · host WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR

Earlier this month the Wisconsin Humane Society welcomed the first beagles rescued from Ridglan Farms. That’s a dog breeding facility in Blue Mound, Wisconsin that gained national attention after activists broke in. So far, the WHS has taken in 132 beagles from the rescue, which is one of the largest efforts for them in the last decade.    Most of these dogs have gone to foster homes since they’ll need some extra care and attention before they’ll be ready for adoption. So, what do you need to know or consider if you’re thinking about welcoming one of these beagles into your home?  To learn more, Lake Effect's Audrey Nowakowski is joined by Angela Speed from the Wisconsin Humane Society VP of Marketing & Communications. She starts by explaining the coordination efforts that helped to support these rescued beagles.
