A Wisconsin beagle breeding farm Ridglan Farms is closing, with 475 beagles remaining to be transferred this week to Big Dog Ranch Rescue, which will place some animals on its Florida and Alabama campuses for spaying, neutering, and eventual adoption. The rescue group previously acquired more than 2,000 beagles from the farm in April.
