Story

All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. This is the long one: Meet Snuffy! If you're looking for a best friend who loves adventure as much as cuddles, Snuffy may be your perfect match! Snuffy is a Boxer/Terrier mix currently being fostered in a home where he's shown just how fun-loving and affectionate he can be. His favorite thing in the world is being outside. Running, exploring, playing, and soaking up the fresh air are where Snuffy shines! An ideal home for him would have a large fenced yard where he can safely stretch his legs and burn off some energy. Snuffy is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. After a good play session outside, he's more than happy to settle in with his family and relax. He loves attention and wants to be part of whatever you're doing, whether that's playing in the yard, going for walks, watching TV, or snuggling on the couch. A family with children would be a great fit for Snuffy. He would love having kids to play with, keep him active, and give him plenty of attention throughout the day. if you're interested in Snuffy, please put in an application on our website! 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. October 13, 2026, 9:01 am

Story

Willow - Sweet & Mellow - potty trained, spayed, vaccinated and good with everyone! A delight!! Meet this beautiful girl who is finally getting the second chance she deserves! At approximately 3–4 years old and 50 pounds, this sweet girl has a story that will break your heart, but her future is looking so bright! She was found abandoned in the Dorado area of Puerto Rico, heartbreakingly skinny and desperate for someone to love her. When rescuers arrived, she couldn't wait to be saved. It was almost as if she knew her life was finally about to change. Since being rescued, she has gained much-needed weight, grown in confidence, and blossomed into the most wonderful dog! She is incredibly gentle, intelligent, calm, and SO loving! She gets along beautifully with other dogs and does wonderfully with everyone she meets. She has such a sweet, peaceful personality and truly just wants to love and be loved. While she's come such a long way, we know her past wasn't always kind to her. She's a sensitive soul who deserves a home filled with patience, encouragement, and gentle voices. We would love to find her a peaceful, loving family where she'll never have to worry about being yelled at or treated harshly again. She's not a difficult dog or one who needs a lot of work. In fact, she's quite the opposite! She's a wonderful, easygoing companion who just deserves people who will treat her with the same kindness she gives so freely. She will be fully vetted before adoption and is ready to find the family who will love her forever. After a life that started with abandonment and uncertainty, all we want for this beautiful girl is a lifetime of soft beds, gentle hands, kind words, and unconditional love. Willow is currently in PR and is available for FaceTime meet and greets! She will be sent to a home in the continental US (adoption fee covers transport) whenever a foster opens or she finds her forever home.
