Story

We got Sparky at a pet store when he was a puppy, and he is currently 11 years old. He is a good dog, a bit grumpy like all Shih Tzus. Right now, he is very bored at home since I work long hours, and that’s why I want to find him a new home with someone who can dedicate more time to him. He is a bit picky with his food; over the years, he no longer likes kibble, and I have to make him homemade meals.Sparky also loves being with people or his owners, but he likes his personal space, so I don't recommend hugging and kissing him too much since he doesn't really like it. I call him my grumpy old man; he has never bitten anyone because we all know when to give him love and when to give him space, but he is an adorable dog.

DOB 4-30-2025 DeChen is looking for his new home and Mom! He's a beautiful Shih Tzu with a good personality, loves to play and gets along with others.

After you submit your application please allow a few days for a volunteer to review your application. During this time your vet reference will be checked and a volunteer with determine if it is the best match for you and the animal. Applications are not approved on a first come, first serve basis. We match up the best home for the animal, so even if the pet has other applications, this does not mean he/she will be adopted to that home. Once your application has been approved a volunteer with contact you to set up a phone interview. This is the perfect time for you to ask any questions you have about the adoption process and the animal you are interested in.

Snickers

Shih Tzu

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Meet Snickers- He is part of a Perfectly Balanced Pair Moochie and Snickers are 3-year-old Shih Tzu siblings who have lived together their whole lives. They do well when separated but since they love to play together so much, we are looking for a forever home to keep both of them together. Surrendered when their previous owner was no longer able to meet their needs, these two are now ready for a fresh start — and a family who will cherish them as much as they cherish each other. Though they’re littermates, their personalities beautifully complement one another. Moochie (who is dark grey and white) is the softer, shyer soul of the pair. Calm and gentle, she is happiest curled up on your lap or quietly resting by your side. She finds comfort in being close to her people. Moochie gets along with other dogs, but she appreciates polite introductions and respectful space. If another dog gets in her face too quickly, she may lift her lip or give a little growl to set boundaries — she simply prefers a slower, more thoughtful approach. With a little time, she settles in nicely. But she definitely prefers people to other dogs (except for her brother snickers who she LOVES to romp around with). Snickers (who is tan), on the other hand, is a social butterfly! Outgoing and playful, he loves to run, romp, and play with other pups — and size doesn’t faze him one bit. From tiny 10-pound friends to 65-pound buddies, Snickers is ready to make friends with them all. He adores toys, enjoys meeting new people, and brings a joyful, energetic spark wherever he goes. Both dogs are currently learning their housebreaking skills and are doing very well. Because they’re still building consistency, their ideal home would have someone home much of the time to help them continue their progress and maintain a routine. With structure and patience, they’re proving to be quick learners. Moochie and Snickers truly thrive together — Snickers helps boost Moochie’s confidence, and Moochie keeps Snickers grounded. They are a wonderful example of how two different personalities can create one perfectly matched pair. If you’re looking for double the companionship, double the love, and two sweet little shadows to share your life with, Moochie & Snickers may be the perfect addition to your 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. February 27, 2026, 8:17 pm

Story

Drake and Maye are a deeply bonded pair who came to the shelter after the heartbreaking loss of their owner. After so much change, these boys are simply looking for a soft, steady place to land and a family to call their own again.Drake is the shyer of the two at first and may need a little time to feel comfortable. Once he knows you, he melts into a happy puddle of snuggles, happily flinging himself into laps and soaking up attention. He also enjoys long walks and time spent close to his people. Maye is the steady, confident presence in their partnership. He helps Drake feel brave and is often the first to greet new friends, offering quiet reassurance along the way.Drake is currently on a weight-loss journey and will need to be fed separately from Maye to help him stay on track. Their adopters should be prepared to continue supporting healthy routines for both boys.If there are children in the home, teens and older would be the best fit. Drake and Maye are ready to bring comfort, companionship, and quiet loyalty to a home that will cherish them together.If you are interested in adopting these wonderful senior boys, please visit the shelter on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Thursdays between 12–4pm. Their combined adoption fee is $200 for both. If you are unable to visit during those hours, please email dogs@worcesterarl.org to inquire about scheduling an appointment.
