After he arrived off of the rescue van, he put his paws on my chest and wrapped his arms around my arm. He clung to me, and I knew I couldn\u2019t let him go. He spent his first night in a house on Tuesday night, sleeping in a bed under the blankets. He\u2019s finally starting to feel safe and cared for.<\/p>\n<p>Chester is one of 1,500 beagles who we are in the process of rescuing from Ridglan\u2019s animal testing and breeding facility after rescue groups secured a deal for their release. I spent the past few days in Wisconsin assisting \u201cBig Dog Ranch Rescue\u201d in the rescue of 400 of these dogs.<\/p>\n<p>As these beagles come off of the vans at the rescue property, they are tense and [te.rri.fi.ed]. They\u2019re just bracing for someone to [hu.rt] them. Everything is new to them and they are easily startled. They\u2019ve never felt grass, soft blankets or sun on their skin.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/petcutes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/689884234_3127231944146650_8748917918895921089_n.jpg\" width=\"802\" height=\"1069\" data-large_image_width=\"526\" data-large_image_height=\"701\" \/><\/p>\n<p>1,000 of the dogs have made it out of Ridglan so far. Beagle Freedom Project will be removing around 500 next week.<\/p>\n<p>The release of the final ~500 dogs living at Ridglan is still being negotiated. I am hopeful that they will all make it out and that the momentum from this historic victory will help fuel the end of all animal experimentation.<\/p>\n<p>People need to understand also its going to take them some time to become part of your family just like other rescue dogs do. Don\u2019t expect them to be perfect and return them when they\u2019re not.<\/p>\n<p>Thank you so very much. Your efforts are! making a tremendous difference!!
