Grassroots. Bipartisan. Unrelenting.
Dane4Dogs is a grassroots organization in Dane County, Wisconsin. Our mission is to end the breeding, sale, and use of dogs and cats for painful and distressing experimentation. We support modern scientific alternatives to dog and cat experimentation.
Only 30 minutes west of Madison, thousands of dogs live their entire lives in stacked cages.
In Blue Mounds, Wisconsin, there are thousands of dogs kept in stacked cages in windowless sheds, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Their cages are elevated to allow their urine and feces to fall through, and they spend their lives on uncomfortable wire mesh flooring, never touching solid ground.
These dogs never see sunlight, they never touch grass, and they never know the love of a family.
Instead, they are repeatedly bred and their puppies are sold to labs across the country for experimentation, almost always ending in premature death.
Dane County, WI experiments on more dogs than it adopts.
Ridglan Farms agreed to shut down its breeding and selling operation in order to avoid criminal charges.
Ridglan Farms is allowed to sell off their remaining dogs prior to July 1, 2026. We remain concerned for the safety and wellbeing of the dogs still trapped at Ridglan Farms, and we will continue to advocate for their release.
