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 are deeply bonded and looking for a forever home 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 11, 2026, 3:23 pm

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. DeChen is complete on all medical, up to date on shots, neutered, heartworm negative and has received a ProHeart6 preventative injection.

Our transport is HEARTS LLC, they are the best and deliver to East Coast every other week. The first step in the adoption process is to fill out an online adoption application. You can find a copy of that application here. We sometimes receive a lot of interest on an animal and can't always reply to each email in a timely manner. An application does not obligate you to adopt from us, but it does show that you are serious about the adoption process. Please remember we are all volunteers. 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.

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.
