Story
Best friend Buddy is the total package. He loves people and greets everyone, always eager for attention.   At 12, Buddy ended up in a rural Tennessee shelter. We do not know his backstory or why such a sweet boy would land in a shelter. We may never know.     At Critter Cavalry, we adore seniors and believe they deserve every chance to find a loving home. You won’t regret considering Buddy—he loves everyone, whether human or animal. Buddy is everyone’s best friend.     Buddy is healthy for a senior. He has limited sight and hearing, but is otherwise in good shape. He navigates his foster home easily and enjoys exploring the fenced yard. He comes when called—just use a louder voice.   Buddy is ready to retire with a couple eager to add him to their family. He’d love a fenced yard to explore—size isn’t important—and an active retirement with short walks and car rides. He will be a wonderful addition to a family that matches his lifestyle.   If you want a new best friend, Buddy is perfect for you. To learn more about adopting him, contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com or 615-943-7311. Approved application and adoption fee required.    June 24, 2026, 3:36 pm

Story
All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Meet Sasha & Precious: A Bonded Pair Looking for Their Forever Home Sasha and Precious are an adorable pair of bonded Jack Russell Terrier sisters who have been together their entire lives. Recently surrendered through no fault of their own, these sweet girls are adjusting remarkably well to life after leaving the only home they've ever known. Their previous owner allowed them to roam freely in a rural southern neighborhood, which unfortunately was not permitted, leading to their surrender.  Despite this big life change, Sasha and Precious remain happy, loving, and devoted to one another. They share a special bond that we hope to preserve by finding a family willing to welcome both girls into their home. Precious is the smaller sister, weighing just 13 pounds, and is easy to spot thanks to the extra white on her head. Don't let her size fool you—she's definitely the boss of the duo! This confident little girl loves carrying toys around in her mouth and is always ready for adventure. She absolutely thrives in the yard, where her speed and agility are on full display. Precious enjoys the company of other dogs but likes to be the one calling the shots. Sasha, the bigger sister at 17 pounds, is every bit as fun-loving. Her favorite hobby? Taking apart toys with great enthusiasm! Like her sister, she loves running and playing outside and would be thrilled to have a yard where she can stretch her legs. Both girls adore people and are wonderful with children. They seem to get along well with other dogs and are currently fostered with one. When playtime is over, Sasha and Precious are happy to curl up with their humans for cuddles—or snuggle together when their people aren't nearby. These loving sisters have so much joy, affection, and companionship to offer. They have spent their entire lives side by side, and we would love nothing more than to find a forever home where they can continue their journey together. If you're looking for double the love, double the fun, and double the cuddles, Sasha and Precious may be the perfect pair for 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. June 24, 2026, 7:19 pm

Story
Give him a cozy bed and a toy, and he’ll be your best friend fureva--- Cam Cam is under 2 years old and about 30 lbs — such a great size.  He’s a little shy at first, but comes out of his shell pretty quickly. He’s dog friendly, loves toys, and is a total toy hoarder… seriously, if your other dog is missing a toy, Cam would like to plead the fifth. Cam has been waiting and waiting for his chance to come to Massachusetts. Transport after transport, his name comes up, and every time there’s nowhere for him to go. This sweet boy has been waiting in foster for months... Cam is a friendly, happy boy who enjoys being around people and does well with other dogs. He’d likely love having a canine companion in his forever home. This guy is just looking for love — and it’s finally his turn. completed heartworm treatment Altered, microchipped, vaccinated  fostered in Massachusetts  *Please note: We're an all-volunteer organization, and incomplete applications cannot be processed.* If you're interested in adopting a GBP rescue PAL, please submit an application through the link below.
