Story
All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Taz is a 3-year-old chihuahua mix with long legs, a bouncy step, and a heart that chooses one person to adore. He is intensely loyal and devoted to his human, loves giving kisses, curling up on laps, and spending quiet family time. He is skittish by nature and would love a quiet home so he can blossom. He is very fearful of men, and he would succeed best in a home with females. Taz is crate-trained and sleeps all night without issue. He also finds refuge in his crate during the day. He gets along well with other dogs but clearly prefers human companionship. Taz is very fearful of cats because he is unsure of them. He is highly food-motivated and thrives with treats and positive reinforcement. His ideal home would be with a woman who is home most of the day, and who wants a devoted lap-loving companion,  If you’re ready for a loyal little buddy who gives big affection, Taz is waiting to meet you.  All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped. The Greater Derry Humane Society does not have a physical shelter, and all visits are by appointment only. November 12, 2025, 10:18 pm

Story
All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Hi, I’m Dove — a 2-year-old chihuahua mix, professional cuddler, part-time diva, and full-time velcro dog. &#226&#156&#168 Let’s get this out of the way: I love women. Like… really love women. If you’re a lady, congratulations — you are now my favorite person. I will follow you everywhere, sit on your lap, stare lovingly into your soul, and basically glue myself to your side. That’s just who I am. Men? Well… I’m working on it. When I first arrived at my foster home, I said “Absolutely not, sir” to every guy I met. But after a week, I’m finally starting to warm up to the men in my life. Slow and steady, people. Slow and steady. I’m a social butterfly with humans (especially the girls), but when it comes to dogs… um… let’s just say I have opinions. I currently live with three dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I make sure every new dog knows I’m the boss. Yes, I show my teeth. Yes, I growl. Yes, there may be a tiny snap. But don’t worry — I’m all bark at the beginning. Because guess what? After a few days, I start to soften. And after a week? I’m actually playing with them! I guess you could say I play hard to get and make other dogs work for my affection. A lady has standards, okay? I’d absolutely thrive as an only dog since humans are my true love, but sharing a home with other dogs isn’t a dealbreaker — I just need a little time to remind them who runs the show. I am housebroken, but I have a confession… I do not appreciate the cold, snowy New Hampshire weather. I’m a little girl with little legs, and I don’t do blizzards. So sometimes, to avoid going outside, I… may do my business indoors. Look, I’m delicate! If you’re looking for a loyal, snuggly, dramatic, tiny queen who will adore you (especially if you’re a woman), then I’m your girl. I’ve got a big personality in a tiny package, and my heart is just waiting for my forever person.   All pets adopted from GDHS are spayed or neutered, have vaccinations brought up to date, are on heartworm preventative (dogs), FIV/FELV tested (cats) and microchipped. The Greater Derry Humane Society does not have a physical shelter, and all visits are by appointment only. December 5, 2025, 9:57 am

Story
  Meet Cheyenne — a delicate, dear-head Chihuahua with a heart as tender as her tiny 9-pound frame. At just three years old, she has already experienced more upheaval than any little dog should. She spent her life cherished by her mom, but when her owner became disabled and had to move in with friends, Cheyenne came along… only to be told she could no longer stay. It shattered her mom’s heart and left Cheyenne confused and frightened.   Cheyenne has lived a very sheltered, indoor life, and the changes of the past few months have left her understandably nervous. She needs time, patience, and a gentle hand to learn that her world can be safe again. Once she feels secure, she’ll quietly lean in, allow soft pets, and even offer a tiny kiss to show her trust.   This sweet girl isn’t demanding—she’s simply sensitive. She finds comfort in calm environments and absolutely needs another friendly dog in her new home. Having a canine companion gives her confidence and helps her settle. She loves cuddling with her dog friends, and in her foster home, her favorite cozy spot is tucked under a blanket where she feels warm and hidden.   Cheyenne is never aggressive or mean with other dogs, but energetic puppies are not her cup of tea—they’re a bit too lively for her peaceful spirit. What she truly wants is a patient, loving adopter who understands that trust is earned gently over time.   If you’re looking for a quiet, loyal little Chihuahua who will adore you once she knows she’s finally safe, Cheyenne may be your perfect match. With a secure, loving home, she will blossom into the devoted companion she’s meant to be.   Cheyenne is healthy, ready to go, and so deserving of her happily-ever-after.Email Critter Cavalry Rescue at ccrtennessee@gmail.com to meet this precious girl.   PLEASE NOTE:  Our dogs are transported from Tennessee to meeting places in the states where we have posted.  Further information about us is given on our Adopt-A-Pet site.  The adoption fees vary and will be provided as well as noted on the application you receive.  Contact us at 615-661-5333 or ccrnewengland@gmail.comDecember 7, 2025, 11:57 pm

Story
Hi there, I'm Woody! I'm still just a puppy, but I've got a lot of heart. I'm pretty curious about the world around me. I love exploring new smells, tastes, and textures. I can't wait to find out what's around the next corner! I'm a quick learner too, and I'm eager to please. I've been practicing my 'sit', 'stay', and 'fetch' with the nice people here. I'm also good at giving puppy kisses and making people smile. I'm looking for a forever home where I can continue my adventures and bring joy to my new family. Adopting me means endless love, loyalty, and fun!
