Overview
- PAWS Chicago says it welcomed 25 beagles from Ridglan Farms in Wisconsin.
- Ridglan Farms agreed to sell 1,500 of its roughly 2,000 beagles to rescue groups across the country.
- The mass transfer followed weeks of protests that targeted the breeder’s treatment of the dogs.
- PAWS staff began health checks and basic care, with volunteers tucking each dog into warm bedding and serving dinner.
- The plan sends the dogs to experienced foster homes to learn life in a house before adoption at PAWS’ Lincoln Park center.
