End the breeding of dogs for lab testing.

Dogs deserve homes, not labs. The campaign is international. Marshall BioResources is the next facility we're working to close.

A message to Marshall BioResources

Please help us bring these dogs home.

We are a broad coalition of people who care about dogs — humane societies, veterinarians, federal lawmakers, rescue groups, faith leaders, and citizens across the political spectrum. We believe dogs deserve homes, not laboratories.

To Marshall: we are asking you to release these dogs voluntarily, out of your own human decency. The same coalition that helped find homes for 1,500 Ridglan beagles stands ready to do the same here — with care, with veterinary support, and with families waiting on the other end.

The campaign is global

In the United Kingdom, the parallel fight against Marshall’s UK arm — MBR Acres — is being led at savethedogs.uk.

Good newsApril 29, 2026

1,500 beagles. Finally walking out.

Made possible by two organizations we love. We can’t thank them enough.

Hundreds of dogs still remain inside Ridglan.

We’re not stopping until every one of them is home.

The Arc

From Envigo to Marshall.

These three facilities lost their way once they got into the business of breeding dogs for laboratories. The way out is the same one each time.

Act I

Closed

2022

Envigo / Inotiv

Federal DOJ lawsuit. Largest Animal Welfare Act penalty in U.S. history. 4,000 beagles freed. The facility is gone.

Read the precedent

Act II

Releasing

2014 – 2026

Ridglan Farms

A 10-year campaign. 311 cruelty violations. A felony-cruelty ruling. 1,500 dogs walking out. Hundreds still inside.

Read the campaign

Act III

Next

Now

Marshall BioResources

A major commercial breeder of dogs for laboratories. New York. United Kingdom. The end of the business.

Federal action · U.S. House of Representatives

Rep. Pocan is taking the fight to Congress.

The congressman for Wisconsin’s 2nd District — where Ridglan operates — took the case to the U.S. House floor and secured a House Appropriations Committee amendment directing the USDA to review the federal licenses of breeders who lose their state license. The coalition behind Ridglan is bipartisan, broad, and federal. Marshall BioResources is next.

Floor speech

On the bipartisan coalition

“This situation is so nonpartisan that even Lara Trump and Laura Loomer have spoken out against what’s happening at Ridglan Farms. Interesting bedfellows.”

This is what we’re fighting for.

Bryan Polcyn’s years-long investigation into Ridglan Farms

FOX6’s investigative reporter has covered Ridglan since 2025 — leaked buyer lists, undercover footage, federal citations, and experiments performed without anesthesia. The reporting that made the case unignorable.

No dog should be
born into a cage.

Bred for laboratories. Sold into experiments. Treated like inventory. End the system. Start with dogs.
