Thank you for donating, for shopping our wish list, and most of all for cheerleading our team as we take part in this historic rescue effort.

🎉🐾 BIG news and we are so excited we can barely contain it 🐾🎉

In just a few short days, Albert’s Dog Lounge will be welcoming 30, yes THIRTY, Ridglan Beagles into their next chapter.

To celebrate this moment (and the full-on Beaglemania we are living in right now), we’ve given our logo a special makeover just for the week. We hope it makes you smile as much as it does us. 🐶

We know there is a lot of excitement and a lot of questions, so we want to be clear about where things stand and how you can truly help right now.

Do we need fosters?
No. We are fully prepared. Our leadership team has been directly involved in this effort, and these dogs already have experienced, carefully selected fosters lined up who understand what they will need as they begin navigating a brand new world.

Can I apply to adopt one of these beagles?
Not at this time. These dogs will need extensive veterinary care and significant time to decompress and rehabilitate. We are talking weeks, likely months. When they become available, we will share that publicly. Applications submitted now specifically for these beagles will not be processed.

So how can you help right now?
If you have been thinking about adopting, the most impactful thing you can do is apply for the dogs currently in our care. Every adoption opens the door for us to say yes to dogs like these.

It is also important to understand how we operate. Albert’s Dog Lounge is rooted in quality of care over quantity. We do not just take dogs in, we invest in them, inside and out.

For these beagles, that means:
- High-quality, nutritious food
- Targeted supplements to support recovery
- Safe, structured environments and comfortable beds
- Comprehensive veterinary care including bloodwork, spay/neuter, and ongoing treatment

These dogs will also be extreme flight risks, so we will be using enhanced safety protocols and secure equipment to keep them safe as they adjust.

The reality is, this level of care comes at a cost. We are conservatively estimating $1,000 per dog in vetting alone, $30,000 total to responsibly bring these dogs into our program. That does not include food, supplies, or ongoing care.

If you want to be part of their journey, here is how you can help:
- Donate using the links below
- Support our MEGA wish list: https://a.co/07T6iSXR
- Share this post to help us reach more people

We are scheduled to receive these dogs on Thursday, May 7th, and we will begin sharing updates once they have had time to settle.

This is a significant moment for our organization, but more importantly, it is a life-changing moment for these dogs. We are ready to meet them exactly where they are and give them the care, patience, and dignity they deserve.

One final note:
We ask that comments remain kind and respectful. Our focus is solely on helping these dogs. That is, and always will be, our priority. (Negative comments toward Ridglan Farms will be removed.)

Thank you for being here and for being part of what comes next for them.

We’d love it if you joined in shopping for our Ridglan Farm Beagles. They deserve to start their new lives with ALL the things! ❤️

Help us welcome the Ridglan Beagles into their next chapter.

As many of you have likely seen, beginning today, approximately 1,500 beagles are being released from Ridgland Farms in the Blue Mound area and placed with rescue partners across Wisconsin. We are honored to share that 30 of these beagles will be coming to Albert’s Dog Lounge.

We know there will be a lot of questions and a lot of interest in these dogs, so we want to be very clear about where things stand and how you can truly help.

Do we need fosters?
No. We are fully prepared. Members of our leadership team have been directly involved in this effort, and we have already secured experienced fosters who understand the unique needs these dogs will have. These placements were intentionally planned to ensure these dogs are supported by people who are equipped to guide them as they begin experiencing an entirely new world.

Can I apply to adopt one of these beagles?
No. Please do not submit applications for these dogs. They will require extensive veterinary care and, more importantly, time to decompress and rehabilitate. This process will take weeks, and likely months. If and when they become available for adoption, we will share that publicly. Applications submitted now specifically for these beagles will not be processed.

So how can you help right now?
If you’re looking to adopt, the most impactful thing you can do is apply for the dogs currently in our care. Helping them find homes allows us to continue saying “yes” to more dogs like these beagles.

It’s also important to understand how we operate. Albert’s Dog Lounge is built on a commitment to quality of care over quantity of dogs. We don’t just bring dogs in—we invest in them. That means improving their lives not only on the outside, but from the inside out.

For these beagles, that will include:

* High-quality, nutritious food
* Targeted supplements to support their overall health and recovery
* Comfortable beds and safe, structured environments
* Comprehensive veterinary care, including bloodwork, spay/neuter, and ongoing treatments

These dogs will also be extreme flight risks, which means we will be using additional safety measures and secure equipment to keep them safe as they adjust.

The reality is, this level of care comes at a cost. We are conservatively estimating $1,000 per dog on vetting alone — $30,000 total to responsibly bring these dogs into our program and give them the care they need. That does not include additional supplies and food needed.

This is a significant moment for our organization, but more importantly, it is a life-changing moment for these dogs. We are prepared to meet them where they are and give them everything they need to move forward safely and with dignity.

One final note:
We ask that all comments remain kind and respectful. We are not taking a position on Ridglan Farms and our sole focus is helping these dogs. That is, and will always be, our only focus. (negative comments toward Ridglan Farms will be deleted)

Thank you for being here—and for being part of what comes next for them.

Each meal box will include a full Thanksgiving spread:
Whole turkey (approx. 14 lbs.), chicken broth, condensed cream of mushroom soup, evaporated milk, Hawaiian sweet rolls, miniature marshmallows, cut green beans (x2), 100% pure canned pumpkin, shells and cheese (x2), brown gravy mix (x3), poultry spices and herbs, French fried onions, pie crust, chicken or cornbread stuffing (x2), whipped dairy topping, yellow onions (3 lbs.), baby peeled carrots, celery, cranberries, sweet potatoes (3 lbs.), and russet potatoes (10 lbs.).
