The Greater Derry Humane Society, Inc.

I spent a few months looking for a dog to rescue. I was surprised how hard and frustrating it was. But then I came across The Derry humane society. Not only was the process smooth but the foster mom was spectacular. She absolutely loved the dog and worked hard to find the right home for him based on his personality. She matched us to our new dog and he fits into our lifestyle perfectly. Every adoption agency is different but the Derry humane society took wonderful care of our dog. He was only $400 and came neutered, micro chipped, and had several hundred dollars in receipts for medical care. My new favorite part of my day is when he comes back from his morning walk with his mommy. He jumps into the bed, onto my chest, and playfully attacks me. After breakfast he repeats the atta

Got both my boys from them! Would recommend!

We were recommended to reach out regarding our now dog Remy. My wife and I were lucky enough to work with Patrice who was absolutely amazing and you can tell truly cares about the animals she fosters and tries to make sure it is a fit for both the animal and potential adopter. We highly recommend working with this organization and Patrice should be recognized for her amazing work and we are so thankful for her helping us with Remy.

We were all set to foster to adopt a dog from this rescue. We are VERY experienced pet owners and know what we are doing. We had a home check and were thoroughly prepared for our new addition to be turned down. The listing said that she was good with cats, we were then told that she was not. 1. We always separate cats from dogs when not at home and made that clear. 2. Our cats are more than used to handling dogs. We are truly heartbroken and feel very betrayed. We have worked with many rescues and volunteered with them as well. We do NOT recommend this particular one when looking for your next family member.

"We receive many applications, so not everyone can be chosen. There are many rescues with dogs in need. Please do not wait for us. We wish you luck finding your perfect match." Well, are we "chosen" or no? And why? No one has called us, or asked us to call them, and we are home every day. We have an 11 year old Dog, and want a new partner for him, Senior Dog is fine too. Having lost Oscar at 11.5 years due to kidney failure was heartbreaking. And the unprofessional and uncaring attitude if GDHS has made things worse. Horrible experience. Find another Group to surrender your Dog to, or even take the time to adopt out yourself. I guess we will look elsewhere as "please do not wait for us" is an obvious hint. We hope to help and maybe even a Senior Dog very soon. Instead of spending time arg
