Beaula

This dog is currently out of state but will be transported to New England shortly with no additional travel costs. The long distance adoption process includes talking to the foster they are living with in the south. Roughly 90% of our dogs are successfully long distance adopted and 10% adopted locally.<br/><br/>TO APPLY:<br/>1) copy/paste this link https://gdrne.com/adopt/adoption-application/ <br/>2) OR at the bottom of the page click on "Adoption Policy" and then it will bring up the adoption application.<br/><br/>Meet Beaula, an approx. 8-9-year-old Plott Hound, weighing 68 pounds (as of 9/13/26). Living out her golden years in North Carolina, Beaula has decided that no matter what life hands her, she'll simply remain good.<br/><br/>And good she is. She is gentle. Calm. Loving. Beautiful. People? She loves them.<br/>Cats? Fine by her. Other dogs? No big deal. Leashes, Crates, Potty? She's a pro. Honestly, Beaula seems pretty much unbothered by everything. She just wants to be near you, have a comfortable place to lay her head, and soak up whatever love you’re willing to give her. And after the life she’s had, that amazes us.<br/><br/>Beaula’s first owner reportedly planned to shoot her — possibly because she wouldn’t hunt. Thankfully, another man stepped in and took her. He became her person, and he loved her. He was Grandpa. Then Grandpa passed away. Beaula eventually went to live with other family members, and her life changed. She spent much of her time outdoors. Then one day, she disappeared. Grandpa’s granddaughter started calling around trying to find her. She finally did. Beaula had been hit by a car and taken to an animal shelter.<br/><br/>At the shelter, they discovered Beaula was heartworm positive. The shelter covered her heartworm treatment, and Grandpa’s granddaughter paid for the FHO surgery she needed because of the injuries from the accident.<br/>Today, Beaula is heartworm negative!<br/> <br/>Her hip has healed beautifully. She doesn’t limp, and her current X-rays look good. Some unusual spots seen on her abdominal X-rays concerned us enough that we had an ultrasound performed, but thankfully they do not appear to be cancer. We were also able to compare her current X-rays with those taken in 2025, and the areas look essentially unchanged. Beaula also had a dental a couple weeks ago; we wanted to do everything we could for her before we put her up for adoption. <br/><br/>So now we’d like the next chapter of Beaula’s story to be the one she should have had all along: A HOME. Not a hunting dog. Not a yard dog. Not a dog who’s simply there. Someone’s girl.<br/><br/>A soft bed. A couch if she wants it. A person to follow around. A hand resting on that beautiful old hound head. And someone who looks at her every day and thinks, “How did I ever get lucky enough to get you?” Because that’s Beaula.<br/><br/>At her age, she isn’t asking anyone for a 15-year commitment. She’s asking someone to make the years she has left the best years of her life. And after everything this sweet girl has been through while somehow remaining this gentle, trusting and loving... we think she has earned exactly that. <br/><br/>If you can’t adopt Beaula, PLEASE share her. Somewhere out there is a person who needs a calm, beautiful, ridiculously sweet old hound girl in their life.<br/>Beaula just doesn’t know they’re looking for her yet. <br/><br/>All dogs are up to date on vaccinations and spayed/neutered at the time of adoption. All dogs require professional training to become the best family member they can be.<br/><br/>To adopt or learn more about Beaula, you must fill out an adoption application.

Their information is correct to the best of our abilities and the information we have been given as of the day of posting. From time to time we receive new information/photos of a dog and we do recreate their listing, which means their old listing link will no longer be valid. If you are considering a dog but don't apply right away please make sure to search for the dog by name if the link you have no longer works.<br/><br/>Please note, GDRNE does not guarantee the breed of any dog or puppy unless stated that we have run DNA. All breeds listed are educated estimates. Note that if the dog is listed as an "Out of town pet" there are NOT additional transport fees - it is included in our adoption fee Our dogs are rescued from various situations. It is most likely that both their parents were strays and even if not, mixes of some sort and that their grandparents were mixes as well. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them a breed all their own - a True and adorable American MUTT. If you are interested in this dog, you must submit an application. Great Dog is not a shelter so there is no building you can visit. Our dogs live in private foster homes until adopted.
