Krissy is a sweet young Maltese who came from a breeder. She is 3 1/2 years old and weights 7.4 lbs. Krissy is shy at first. But, once she trusts you, she’ll follow you everywhere and want to be with you. She gets along with other dogs. Krissy will walk on a leash and go potty outside but is not completely house trained. She would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. Krissy needs a calm and loving home with people who will give her time to blossom. No young children please. -Spayed -Current on shots -Heartworm negative -Microchipped -Dental cleaning done If adopted out of state a transport fee of $205 and health certificate fee to the vet of $110 will be added to her adoption fee.

Story
All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Meet Luzia — the little lamb-lookalike with the biggest heart! At just 1 year old and a tiny 11 lbs, Luzia has already shown what a brave, resilient girl she is. She came to us severely matted and needed a full shave-down, but even then, her sweet spirit never dimmed. As her soft, fluffy coat grows back, she truly looks (and feels!) like a tiny baby lamb. Her name, Luzia, means “bright light” in Italian — and she was given that name because of her bright, joyful spirit that shines through everything she does. Luzia is incredibly loving, social, and snuggly. She lives for lap time, belly rubs, and being close to her humans. She’s also housebroken, which makes her an even more perfect little companion. When she’s not cuddled up on a lap, she adores playtime with other pups and will eagerly engage with toys as long as she has a human playmate. She’s fostered with both big and small pups and gets along wonderfully with all of them — in fact, she prefers dogs who enjoy lots of play. Though she has playful bursts, Luzia doesn’t seem to need much exercise. What she wants most is attention, companionship, and plenty of cuddle time. Her ideal home is one where someone has the time to give her the affection and lap time she craves. She truly thrives when she gets to be near her people. Now that she’s experiencing New Hampshire winter temps, she has made it clear that cold weather is not her thing. She’d much rather curl up under blankets and stay warm like the little princess she is. This little lamb is the perfect mix of sweet, social, silly, and snuggly. Luzia truly is a bright light, and she’s ready to bring warmth, joy, and endless love to her forever family.  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 6, 2025, 11:24 pm

Story
Mr. Duncan is a distinguished gentleman with one eye, a soft coat, and a heart that wants nothing more than a family to love forever. His small size and delicate features give him an endearing look, and his sweet nature makes him even easier to adore. Attention is his favorite thing. He leans in for affection, follows his people from room to room, and settles contentedly once he knows he’s included. His interactions with calm dogs have gone well, and he seems to enjoy quiet companionship. A simple eye-drop routine will be part of his care moving forward, and he handles it beautifully. The process has become an easy part of his day, and he’s wonderfully patient about it. Mr. Duncan’s gentle temperament and loving spirit make him a wonderful companion for a peaceful home that appreciates a tender, affectionate dog with a resilient heart.

Foster, RI
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Rosa is ready to roll into her new home! This scruffy pup is 7 years old and 14 pounds. She was found earlier this year as a stray in Central Falls, unable to use her hind legs. After her rescue, Rosa underwent a spay and had several benign mammary tumors removed. X-rays revealed a hemangioma inside her spinal cord. She's undergone months of massages, laser therapy, and daily range-of-motion exercises to improve her leg's circulation, but spinal surgery is risky and may not restore her mobility. Rosa now uses a custom wheelchair to keep her hind legs active with the support of a cart. Rosa loves her wheelchair and is always happy to go on stroller rides. She enjoys being held for her leg massages, though we recommended using a blanket when picking her up. Rosa has been living with over a dozen other dogs while in our care. She can be protective of her toys and likes her alone time, so a docile companion would be best. Taking on a paralyzed dog may be a little more work, but it is definitely so rewarding. Rosa is spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. To apply to adopt Rosa, please fill out an application at vintagepetrescue.org/adopt
