Dogs for Adoption in Derry, NH: 20 Dogs Looking for a Home

Marley has lived with children most of her life and seems to absolutely love them. She would do best as the only pet in the home, with no other dogs or cats. Marley is a playful girl who LOVES her toys. One of her cutest talents is entertaining herself by tossing her toys around and playing catch all by herself! She rides wonderfully in the car and loves going for rides. And is not destructive when left home alone.

Because Marley can be vocal when strangers enter the home, an apartment would not be a good fit. She would do best in a home where her family can give her the space and time she needs to settle in and build trust. If you're looking for a loyal companion and are willing to let her come out of her shell at her own pace, Marley may be the girl you've been waiting for. ❤️

Did I even go to obedience school? No again. But my foster pawrents say I'm smart and food motivated, so that's good enough I think. I'm good with adults and everyone loves me, so I'm sure I can use my charm and good looks to win anyone over - including judges and other lawyers. Sometimes I get overwhelmed with young kids, so I am looking for a courtroom that is adults and teenagers only! I also am good with other dogs, so I will relate well to my clients. I'm a young attorney at only 1 year old, but I am a very energetic pup and I feel like I can channel that energy into being the best lawyer ever! There's only one thing in the way of me being an attorney: I need somewhere to practice. My foster home said I could stay here until I found a new place, but I know I can't stay here forever. Maybe you have room in your heart and home for a dapper, energetic, ambitious little guy who loves bowties?

Cookie is a sweet, friendly girl with a truly lovable personality, a beautiful tri-colored coat, a compact little body, and a smile for miles. She has a moderate energy level and enjoys going for walks, exploring all the good smells, and riding in the car, but she is just as happy to settle in and relax at home by your side. She walks nicely on leash and loves spending time with her people. Cookie is housebroken, affectionate, and generally easygoing, with a few endearing quirks like her happy grunts, the most endearing piggy snorts, and silly noises when she gets excited. She greets new people with a wagging tail, warmed up quickly to a child she met, and has been friendly with everyone she has encountered. She is also scheduled to have surgery for an elongated soft palate resection so she can breathe more comfortably and live her very best life ever. She would thrive in a home that can give her plenty of attention, regular walks, and lots of love — plus a cozy spot on the furniture where she can show off that amazing smile.

If you’re looking for a lovable little sidekick with snuggle energy, this sweet girl is your match. She is friendly, snuggly, mellow, and full of charm — the kind of dog who wants to be wherever her person is, preferably pressed right up against them like a tiny couch ornament.

She loves the simple things in life: cozy naps, gentle walks, a little park time, and plenty of cuddle time. She’s calm in the car, easy on leash, and has a wonderfully easygoing personality. At home, she’s happiest curled up close, soaking up love and keeping you company like the best little shadow around.

Her favorite things include her stuffed bear, marrow bones, crinkly toys, and tasty treats like cheese. She’s playful in the cutest way with happy little play bows, and her adorable grunts and snoring make her even more lovable — truly a whole personality in one tiny potato body

This low-riding potato — and yes, she truly is one, as she can stand to lose a few pounds — came to us from our friends at Boston Animal Control after being found as a stray. She is currently in treatment for heartworm disease, so she is not quite ready for adoption just yet. But she is too special not to share with the world now.

Darling truly lives up to her name. She came to us from our friends @bostonanimalcontrol after being found as a severely emaciated stray. When she first arrived, it was clear she had been through so much—she was broken, frightened, and badly mistreated. She couldn’t make eye contact, walk down the stairs, or even wag her tail. But within just one day, her foster family began to see something beautiful happening: a little light starting to come back
.
. And now? Darling is SO HAPPY. Her whole body wiggles with excitement, she gives endless kisses, and she’s discovering that the world can actually be a wonderful place.

She’s still learning how to “dog” but she gains confidence every day. She loves to frolic, prance, play, and explore, but she also settles beautifully and is perfectly content curled up in her person’s lap while they work or read. She’s a true cuddle bug who wants to be wherever her people are—and yes, she absolutely needs to sleep in your bed.

Darling is learning about toys and has recently discovered tug, chasing balls, and the joys of chewing on a good pig ear. She walks nicely on leash and she would LOVE a fenced yard where she can zoom and prance to her heart’s content. She’s also been good with cats!

She is still working hard on house training, so her new family will need to continue helping her learn. Most importantly, Darling needs someone who understands her journey and will continue showing her that she is safe, loved, and never needs to be afraid again.

And perhaps the best thing about Darling? After everything she’s been through, she chose love. She wakes up every morning ready to wiggle her entire body, shower her person with kisses, and celebrate another day of being safe. Her foster says her morning routine brings endless joy—and we can absolutely see why.

Darling is ready for a family who will give her a safe home, a yard to frolic in, a bed to sleep in, and a whole lot of love. This sweet girl has so much happiness left to discover.

His energy level is moderate, and he enjoys getting outside for walks and sniffing around. He walks nicely in his harness. He’s also a wonderful car companion and settles happily in the backseat.

Jackson isn’t particularly interested in toys, but he has found something he considers much more important: attention from his people. He loves being petted and will make it very clear that he is always available for another round of scratches. He’s not much of a barker.

At home, Jackson is happiest with his people around. He does get a little sad when left alone and may cry because, frankly, he would much rather be included in whatever you’re doing.

Jackson is also being evaluated for some “old man” medical issues, which our team is currently working through and sorting out. We’ll continue to learn more about what he needs to feel his absolute best, but none of that changes what we already know: this boy is a total sweetheart who deserves to be loved and spoiled.

If you’re looking for a gentle companion who will happily follow you around, snuggle up nearby, and remind you that there is always time for one more pet, Jackson is your guy.

She's always been great with kids, from little ones to teenagers, and gets along really well with other animals. She doesn't have any issues with resource guarding, but she definitely likes being the center of attention! If another animal is getting some love, she'll sometimes try to get your attention back on her.

Fall is in the air, and Felix is ready to be your ultimate pumpkin-spice sidekick! This handsome 3-year-old Rottie made the road trip up from Georgia and is fully prepared to leap into your pile of leaves (and your heart). His foster parent reports that he is a certified "good boy" and an absolute doll who just wants to cuddle. [1]

Felix is already fully house-trained and a total pro in his crate. Now, let’s talk about his true passion: snacks. Felix is insanely food-motivated. He will do absolutely anything for a treat—which means you can easily train him to do tricks, or just use biscuits to negotiate his help pulling you down the street (he's a strong boy who likes to work those leash muscles!).{C}

Friends and Family:

When it comes to other dogs, Felix is a total lady's man! He absolutely loves his canine girlfriends and prefers his four-legged companions to be female. He has also met some human kids and was wonderful and gentle with them. However, if your home includes a feline friend, Felix is going to have to pass. He thinks cats are a little too exciting, so a cat-free castle is a must.

If you are looking for a big, goofy cuddle bug to keep you warm this autumn, Felix is your guy!
