Big Dog Ranch Rescue announced Monday that it has reached an agreement for the permanent closure of Ridglan Farms and the transfer of its 475 remaining beagles starting this week. The rescue group said some of the beagles will be sent to its Florida and Alabama campuses where they will be spayed, neutered, and prepared for adoption. The group acquired more than 2,000 of the facility’s beagles in April. The dog breeding and research business said all the dogs being transferred are “happy, healthy animals.” Mon, 15 Jun 2026 21:16:00 GMT /south-florida/2026-06-15/wisconsin-beagle-research-facility-that-drew-protests-is-closing-as-rescue-group-takes-in-dogs Philip Marcelo | The Associated Press /government-politics/2026-03-23/never-trumpers-launch-ad-blitz-in-27-florida-newspapers-to-promote-no-kings A nonprofit group whose board includes high-profile dissident Republicans placed advertisements in 27 newspapers in Florida Monday to promote the “No Kings” rallies protesting President Donald Trump and his administration scheduled to take place Saturday, March 28.
