From Dane4Dogs: For anyone in the Madison area (or drive to us!) Dane4Dogs will be holding a peaceful protest at Ridglan Farms on Saturday, May 30 from 11am-1pm. Come on out and let's make sure they know we aren't going away until every cage is empty and those dogs are in loving homes! facebook.com

CALL TO ACTION 🚨
You may have heard of the “Save Our Bacon” Act, a bill that could effectively nullify over 600 state animal welfare regulations, that unfortunately just passed the House.

Now, it’s up to the Senate to prevent it from becoming law. Soon, a “chairman’s mark”, the first draft of the farm bill, will enter the Senate Agriculture Committee. Opposition from the small number of senators in this committee could potentially stop the Save Our Bacon Act from reaching the Senate in the first place, and prevent it from becoming law.

If you are in one of the states below (especially Minnesota!), then you have the opportunity to take this especially high-impact action. If you'd like to help, please carefully read the “Action” section of this document: docs.google.com

As a small follow up, I wanna remind everyone that many different rescues might not have these dogs available for a couple weeks so having patience while the dogs are prepared medically and behaviorally for adoption is essential!
This list and map is also being updated daily and there are many new rescues that might not have shared publicly they are intaking dogs yet! If you know one local to your region that has RIDGLAN dogs that is not on this map we will update it once we receive confirmation and we will keep it updated as much as possible! There might be a slight delay in updating the map as humans work behind the scenes and not bark up the wrong tree! 🐾😄

Thank you everyone here for all of your extremely hard work this last week helping these dogs on their journey to wonderful new homes! ❤️🐾

You all are doing an incredible job and I want to thank each and every one of you for all of your tremendous work! Every action, big and small has helped save these dogs, and now we finally get to see that hard work pay off!

Because of you, they’ll get to zoom through grass, sniff absolutely everything, steal spots on couches, nap in sunbeams, discover toys, hear kind voices, and fall asleep knowing they’re safe and loved.

Thank you for every phone call, every foster application, every late night, and every moment you gave to help them reach freedom. You helped turn cages into cuddles and fear into tail wags.

The beagles may not know all your names… but they’ll spend the rest of their lives enjoying the freedoms you helped give them. ❤️🐶

Ridglan Beagle Rescues
Hello! There is now an interactive map to find all of the individual rescues that are intaking beagles from ridglan!

Please click on the links to go to the website of that individual Rescue and inquire about adoption, fostering or volunteering!

Please reach out to the individual rescues for questions about their placement process, and if they are in need of volunteers or how you can help!

Volunteers needed Friday May 8th 08AM-3PM!!
Some extremely pawsitive news!

We are actually in need of a small handful of volunteers for tomorrow, Friday to help care for dogs that are coming back to a California Rescue here that I can say that is absolutely incredible!

Location for the volunteers is the current BDRR staging ground in Wisconsin being used previously!

If you’re interested in such the tasks involved are caring for the dogs, cleaning crates and walking them and giving them care!
