❤️ Meet Beaula — the kind of dog you wish could tell you her story.
Beaula is about 9 years old, and somewhere along the way she seems to have decided that no matter what life handed her, she was simply going to remain good.
And good she is.
She is gentle. Calm. Loving. Beautiful.
People? She loves them.
Cats? Fine by her.
Other dogs? No big deal.
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.
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.
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.
Today, Beaula is heartworm negative. ❤️
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.
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.
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.
At approximately 9 years old, 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. ❤️
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.
Beaula just doesn’t know they’re looking for her yet. 🐾❤️
Beula is with Fifi's Friends Rescue at Laughing Dog Farm in Bakersville, NC.
