BREAKING NEWS:

     The Wisconsin Puppy Mill Project (WPMP) is proud to be a part of the just-negotiated release of 1,500 beagles from the Ridglan Farms breeding facility. The release will begin on May 1, 2026.

     WPMP is currently coordinating with Wisconsin Federated Humane Societies, Dane County Humane Society, and our experienced WI rescue/shelter partners to organize logistics for removal, rehabilitation, and placement of 350 of these dogs. In the coming days, we will also let you know what you can do to help both the dogs and the shelters/rescues who will be transitioning them to their Forever Homes.

     What about the additional dogs still at the Rieglan Farms breeding facility? Trust that we haven’t forgotten them and are continuing to work on their release!

     We are grateful to all the people and organizations who have striven for days and years, in some cases for decades, to get to this moment. We are especially grateful to partner with Beagle Freedom Project and all others who worked together to secure this outcome.

     More details when we have ‘em!
