iggest heart! At just 1 year old and a tiny 11 lbs, Luzia has already shown what a brave, resilient girl she is. She came to us severely matted and needed a full shave-down, but even then, her sweet spirit never dimmed. As her soft, fluffy coat grows back, she truly looks (and feels!) like a tiny baby lamb. Her name, Luzia, means “bright light” in Italian — and she was given that name because of her bright, joyful spirit that shines through everything she does. Luzia is incredibly loving, social, and snuggly. She lives for lap time, belly rubs, and being close to her humans. She’s also housebroken, which makes her an even more perfect little companion. When she’s not cuddled up on a lap, she adores playtime with other pups and will eagerly engage with toys as long as she has a human playmate. She’s fostered with both big and small pups and gets along wonderfully with all of them — in fact, she prefers dogs who enjoy lots of play. Though she has playful bursts, Luzia doesn’t seem to need much exercise. What she wants most is attention, companionship, and plenty of cuddle time. Her ideal home is one where someone has the time to give her the affection and lap time she craves. She truly thrives when she gets to be near her people. Now that she’s experiencing New Hampshire winter temps, she has made it clear that cold weather is not her thing. She’d much rather curl up under blankets and stay warm like the little princess she is. This little lamb is the perfect mix of sweet, social, silly, and snuggly. Luzia truly is a bright light, and she’s ready to bring warmth, joy, and endless love to her forever 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.

  1. Do your research - find out what types of dogs would be a good fit for your lifestyle and the activity level of your family. Also keep in mind the grooming needs of certain breeds that might require frequent maintenance.
  2. Decide what you can handle - before you get sucked in by all the adorable puppy eyes you're about to see, think long and hard about the appropriate age dog for your family or if you are capable of caring for a special needs dog. Puppies are a lot of work, if you don't have time for potty training and obedience classes you'll want to consider an older dog. There are plenty of middle aged, vibrant dogs up for adoption as well as many senior dogs that would be a great fit for a family looking for a more subdued dog with lots of love to give.
  3. Learn about the shelters and their adoption policies - It might be easier to start looking at shelters within a certain radius of home but don't be afraid to venture out to other states as well. Many states have larger populations of adoptable dogs and their shelters are willing to transport pets to suitable adopting families. Some shelters might have requirements for a home visit, a fenced yard or require you to visit the pet multiple times before you commit to adopting. Understand that the shelters are doing their best to place the pets in suitable homes and these requirements are in the best interest of both you and the pet
  4. Start looking… - Once you know what you're looking for and what to expect you can start your search through thousands of adoptable dogs. PuppyFinder allows you to search by age, breed, location and gender.
  5. Meet in person. - Whenever possible it is best to meet the animal in person before agreeing to bring them into your life. Even though photos and descriptions can tell you a bit about a dog, you can't get a true feeling for the animal until you are able to interact with them and make sure they are a good fit for your entire family, including other pets.
