Meet Lucy! This sweet, 2-3-year-old Beagle mix (35lbs as of 1/19/25) has already been through so much, but she’s still waiting for the one thing she deserves most—a family of her own.

Lucy was rescued from the streets of Tennessee when a kind human noticed she was very pregnant and in need of help. Before that, she survived alongside a pack of canine friends behind a grocery store, where she learned to rely on other dogs for comfort and safety. Life inside a home was completely new to her, and at first, she wasn’t sure what to think. But with time, patience, and love, she discovered the joys of cozy beds, regular meals, and snuggles.

Not long after arriving in foster care, Lucy gave birth to a healthy litter of puppies. She was the most devoted mama, caring for them with everything she had. Then came the bittersweet day when her babies went off to their forever families, leaving Lucy behind to wonder—would she ever have a family to call her own?

Lucy is a gentle, soulful girl who just needs someone willing to meet her where she is. She’s shy at first, but once she trusts you, she will steal your heart. She thrives with other dogs, who help her feel safe and confident. That’s why she must have at least one doggy sibling in her home—though the more, the better! In foster care, she’s lived harmoniously with more than just dogs—she became friends with a cat, a lizard, and even a pig!

Though she has a quiet nature, Lucy has joyful, silly moments too! Once comfortable, she’ll zoom around the backyard with her dog friends, some of whom outweigh her by 50 pounds—but she doesn’t seem to notice! She loves to run, chase, and play, ears flopping as she zips past her bigger buddies like she owns the place.

She also has the sweetest little quirks—like her tongue sticking out when she’s sleepy or the funny little grumbles she makes to “talk” to you. She is crate trained and mostly potty trained, and having a crate is essential so she has a safe space to retreat to as she settles in. She's learning that walks are a good thing and is doing quite well with that.

Lucy is worth every ounce of patience—because once she warms up and bonds to you, the love and trust she gives is unlike anything else. Watching her transform from hesitant and unsure to devoted and loving is an experience that will touch your heart in the most special way.

PLEASE READ: If a dog is listed, then s/he is currently available for adoption. 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.

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.
