Retiree’s Incredible Mission to Rescue 20 Beagles Will Melt Your Heart!
Join us in celebrating Dave Dorsey’s incredible mission of love as he cares for nearly 20 beagles in Alaska’s wilderness, reminding us all that kindness knows no bounds. 🐶❤️
Wasilla, Alaska – Meet Dave Dorsey, a retiree from Wasilla, Alaska, who has turned his golden years into a full-time mission of love for nearly 20 beagles. In a place where the rugged wilderness meets the warmest hearts, Dave has become the ultimate “beagle wrangler” at the Alaska Beagle Ranch.
With a twinkle in his eye, Dave loves them all. He cares for 17 lively beagles and one charming basset hound named Bill, who Dave humorously insists identifies as a beagle.
Dave’s days are filled with laughter and joy as he tends to his spirited pack. Every time he opens the door or lets them roam outdoors, there’s a chorus of happy barks that echoes the love these dogs feel in their forever home.
Dave lovingly mentions that the Beagle Ranch is where all beagles find happiness. He describes them as wonderful and easy to adore. And when it comes to dealing with their spirited barking, he humorously hints that he knows when to leave his hearing aids aside.
But Dave’s affectionate gestures extend beyond the quiet moments. He makes sure his furry companions relish blueberry pancakes weekly, emphasizing that it’s a gesture of love. He believes that no matter how tough your day has been, coming home to these furry friends makes everything brighter.
This incredible journey began in 2009 when Dave, fresh from a divorce, decided it was time to get a dog. Little did he know that this decision would lead to something much bigger.

Today, the Beagle Ranch is not just a home; it’s an official tax-exempt sanctuary. These dogs are content and serene, thanks to Dave’s boundless love. While Dave may not openly acknowledge it, he clearly holds a special affection for Shilo, a beagle who has faced hardships. Dave shares that Shilo has deeply touched his heart. He recounts how a year ago, Shilo had a distressing encounter with a moose and has moved between several homes before finding a permanent and loving place with Dave.
Whether they’re chasing balls or frolicking in the snow, these beagles will never be without the love and care that Dave showers on them. In the vast Alaskan wilderness, one man’s heart has become the forever home for these beautiful beagles.
