Alaska Beagle Ranch is a 100% volunteer run 501 (c) 3 hound rescue and sanctuary in Wasilla, Alaska that was founded in 2022. ABR rescues Beagles, Bassets, and Hounds throughout the state of Alaska and provides them with a safe place to land, all of their veterinary care, and—when possible—a loving FURever home. Senior hounds and others with significant medical needs may remain at the Ranch as permanent residents, surrounded by the care and companionship they deserve for the remainder of their lives.
ABR holds an Alaska Business License. We're a registered charity with the Alaska Dept. of Law. Additionally, we are a licensed kennel under the Matanuska-Susitna Borough Animal Control and a 501 (c) 3 Nonprofit.
In 2009, Dave discovered a photo of Macy on a bulletin board seeking a new home, making her the first Beagle. When he moved to Wasilla, Macy assisted him in locating the perfect spot and marked it by leaving a mess in the yard. A few months later, Cooper came along, searching for a home, and soon there were more. It became clear that there was a demand for Beagle rescue services in Alaska. After accommodating up to seven dogs, it was necessary to operate legally. By obtaining a State of Alaska Business License, a Mat-Su Borough Kennel License, and 501 (c) 3 status in 2022, ABR became official. Shortly thereafter, Dave retired to manage the ranch full-time and ABR became a Hound Rescue. Since then, dozens of pups have found sanctuary, and several dozen more have been adopted into their FURever homes. ABR is now recognized globally as a safe haven for all Hounds.
How We Got Started
Helping Alaska's Beagles, Bassets, and other Hounds
100% Volunteer • Alaska Based • Hound Focused
Senior Hounds
At the ranch, we provide a safe and loving home for senior Beagles, Bassets, and other Hounds aged 10 years and older, who become permenant residents of the Alaska Beagle Ranch (ABR). These gentle seniors are cared for throughout their golden years, ensuring they receive all the medical attention necessary from our dedicated veterinarians. We prioritize their comfort by providing their meals, some of which are prescribed by our veterinarian, many comfortable beds throughout the house to rest, and all the gentle exercise they want. Our mission is to brighten their lives and to offer them a safe haven where they can enjoy their remaining years in peace and happiness. Each senior Hound is cherished and treated with the respect and love they've earned and deserve, allowing them to feel safe and part of our family.
Hounds For Adoption
Hounds With Long Term Medical Needs
At ABR, we understand that Hounds with long-term medical needs require special attention and care. Depending on individual circumstances, these lovable Hounds can become permanent residents of the ranch, where they will receive a safe and loving environment tailored to their individual requirements. Our dedicated volunteers, along with our veterinarians, ensure that all medical needs are thoroughly addressed and managed. Our goal is to give these Hounds the medical care, comfort, and companionship they need to live happy and fulfilling lives despite their health challenges. By giving them a caring and supportive home, we aim to make a positive difference in the lives of our residents, allowing them to enjoy our loving community.
Hounds selected for adoption receive a veterinary wellness exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, a microchip, and are spayed or neutered before adoption. We warmly invite potential adopters to submit their applications. Applications that meet our adoption requirements will be reviewed. To stay informed about our available Beagles, Bassets and Hounds, please check regularly on our Facebook page and our adoption page. Your perfect furry companion could be just a click away!
