    Good with kidsGood with catsHouse-trained

    Whirly Girl is a six month old kitten and is all that goes along with that. She is cuddly, playful, and sweet.

  3. Gatsby, Domestic Short Hair (short coat)Gatsby1 Year 8 Months · Male · Domestic Short Hair (short coat)East Derry, NH · 9.9 mi

    Good with catsHouse-trained

    Everyone, meet the Great Gatsby! Gatsby is a sweet boy and deserves a great home to go along with his great personality. Gatsby loves all people and gets along great with other cats. He does not like dogs and will actually go out of his way to bully them so he will not be able to live with a dog. He does nip a little if he is bored or looking for extra attention so he is looking for a home with older children, if any. Gatsby is quite a character. He loves getting all of the pets and if you stop petting him before he is done, he will “bap” you to tell you that he was expecting more head scritches! He loves catnip and really is enjoying indoor life and all that goes into living in a home. He s…

  4. Tilly, Domestic Short Hair (short coat)Tilly2 Years 7 Months · Female · Domestic Short Hair (short coat)East Derry, NH · 9.9 mi

    Good with kidsGood with catsHouse-trained

    Meet Tilly, a sweetheart who is ready to find a lap—and a family—to call her own! This affectionate girl loves being petted, climbs into laps, and makes it clear that snuggle time is high on her wish list. She’s also discovering the fun of toys, showing off her playful side between cuddle sessions. Tilly would be happiest as your one and only pet, with all that love to herself. She can coexist with other cats, though she prefers her own space. When she met a dog, she chose to keep her distance. A home with another respectful pet could be a possibility with thoughtful introductions. She has been fine with the children in her foster home. If you’re looking for a loving companion who wants to s…

  5. Snuffy, Terrier / MixedSnuffy2 Years 6 Months · Male · Terrier / MixedEast Derry, NH · 9.9 mi

    This is the long one: Meet Snuffy! If you're looking for a best friend who loves adventure as much as cuddles, Snuffy may be your perfect match! Snuffy is a Boxer/Terrier mix currently being fostered in a home where he's shown just how fun-loving and affectionate he can be. His favorite thing in the world is being outside. Running, exploring, playing, and soaking up the fresh air are where Snuffy shines! An ideal home for him would have a large fenced yard where he can safely stretch his legs and burn off some energy. Snuffy is the perfect mix of playful and cuddly. After a good play session outside, he's more than happy to settle in with his family and relax. He loves attention and wants to…

  6. Macy, Pit Bull TerrierMacy2 Years · Female · Pit Bull TerrierEast Derry, NH · 9.9 mi

    Hi! My name is Macy. I'm in the market for a new family, so I thought I would give you a rundown of what my daily schedule is. First, I like to take a quick 3 hour nap. Then, I take a quick 1 hour nap to recover from my previous nap. After that, I have a little snackie and then take ANOTHER nap .......just kidding, I hate naps! I love 3 things in life: food, exercise, and people! Sometimes I like people so much that I jump on them. My foster humans think it would be best if I went to a home with teenagers and above, at least until I can learn to contain my excitement! I am crate trained, housebroken and ready to go off onto my next adventure. Maybe that could be with you? If you're intereste…

  7. Waldo, Schnauzer / MixedWaldo2 Years · Male · Schnauzer / MixedEast Derry, NH · 9.9 mi

    Where’s Waldo? I’m right here! Hi! I’m Waldo, a young, scruffy, big-eared guy weighing in at a perfect 25 pounds of pure puppy fun! We think I might have some Schnauzer in me, but honestly, nobody seems quite sure what my recipe is. I prefer to think of myself as 100% adorable with a generous helping of scruff. I am also NOT SHY. Like, not even a little. I love people! I see a new person and immediately think, “Oh good! Another friend!” I’m friendly, outgoing, and always ready to say hello. If you’re looking for a dog who needs a few weeks to warm up to you, that’s definitely not me. I’m ready to be your best friend approximately three seconds after meeting you. ❤️ I have lots of puppy energ…

    Good with dogsHouse-trained

    fur and the big grin. My perfect match would be someone who loves to be outside, whether hiking, running, playing ball, or just being active and having fun. I don’t mean to brag, but people tell me I’m a lot like @JasonTatum of the Celtics because I have stunning athleticism and am completely devoted to those I love - like my family members. When I’m not admiring your every move, I’d love to be playing with other dogs. So, what do you say? Wanna be besties and play ball?

  9. Archie, Basset Hound / Rat Terrier / MixedArchie1 Year 11 Months · Male · Basset Hound / Rat Terrier / MixedEast Derry, NH · 9.9 mi

    Hello there! I know what you're thinking: you see my bowtie and think 'Wow, this dog is very important. He must have a very serious occupation.' And you would be right. As of today, I am no longer Archie the dog. I am now Archibald, Attorney at Paw. I specialize in representing other dogs when they are the victims of terrible crimes, like humans not sharing their snacks, or being forced to take a baths, or not getting pup cups regularly. I take my new job very seriously. I may be small at 28 pounds, but my sense of justice is mighty! Now onto my qualifications. Did I go to law school? No. Did I pass the bar exam? Also no. Did I even go to obedience school? No again. But my foster pawrents sa…

  10. Marley*, Australian Shepherd / Golden Retriever / Mixed (medium coat)Marley*5 Years 7 Months · Female · Australian Shepherd / Golden Retriever / Mixed (medium coat)East Derry, NH · 9.9 mi

    Good with kidsHouse-trained

    Marley is a beautiful 5-year-old Golden Retriever/Australian Shepherd mix who is just the perfect size—not too big and not too small. She is housebroken, up to date on her vaccinations, and ready to find a family who will love her for exactly who she is. Marley is a special girl who needs a little time to feel comfortable around new people. She is wary of strangers and will bark when someone enters the home, so her ideal family will understand that she needs patience, consistency, and time to warm up. Once Marley bonds with her people, though, she is a loving and devoted companion. ❤️ Marley has lived with children most of her life and seems to absolutely love them. She would do best as the …

    Good with kidsHouse-trained

    Hi, I’m Jonesy. ❤️ I may be a little shy when we first meet, but underneath that cautious exterior is a very sweet girl who truly loves people. Once I feel comfortable, I’m happiest when my humans are nearby. I’ll look for you, enjoy your attention, and simply be happy knowing I have someone to call my own. I’m a senior lady, and at this stage of my life, I’m not looking for anything complicated. I’m looking for a quiet, peaceful home where I can settle in, feel safe, and be loved. A soft place to nap, a kind person to keep me company, and a little patience while I find my confidence would mean the world to me. I think I could do well with respectful children who understand that an older gir…

    Good with catsHouse-trained

    Gin Gin is a beautiful 8-month-old girl with a gentle soul and a heart that's just waiting to bloom. While she can be a little shy when meeting new people, beneath that quiet exterior is a very sweet and affectionate kitten who simply needs a little time to feel safe. Once Gin Gin settles into her new surroundings and learns to trust, her loving personality begins to shine. She enjoys affection and companionship, and while it's still too soon to know whether she'll become a full-time lap cat, we have a feeling she may continue to surprise us as her confidence grows. Gin Gin takes great comfort in the company of other cats and would thrive in a home with at least one friendly feline companion…
