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.
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.

Marshall BioResources
A major commercial breeder of dogs for laboratories. New York. United Kingdom. The end of the business.
See the campaignFederal 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.
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.”
Living in Freedom
This is what we’re fighting for.
Beagles, after rescue. In homes. On couches. In their own backyards. Loved.
Hundreds more are still waiting inside Ridglan. Tens of thousands more are bred for labs every year — at facilities like Marshall BioResources. Help free the rest →

born into a cage.
