All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step. Meet Dutchess Dutchess is a 3-year-old (possibly a little younger!) female spitz mix weighing in at about 39 pounds of pure joy. With her fluffy good looks and sparkling personality, she truly lives up to her royal name — but don’t worry, this girl’s crown comes with zero diva attitude!  Dutchess has no issues with people whatsoever — in fact, she has never met a stranger. She absolutely adores attention from everyone she meets and will happily soak up all the pets, praise, and love you’re willing to give. Kids, adults, visitors, neighbors — they’re all future best friends in her book. She currently attends doggie daycare and has done wonderfully with dogs both big and small. She enjoys social time and playgroups, showing she can be a great canine companion as well. Now let’s talk about her favorite hobby: BALL IS LIFE. Dutchess loves to play ball and will even entertain herself if needed. She’s incredibly fast, makes impressive mid-air catches, and is downright hilarious to watch in action. If you’ve ever wanted your own personal outfield star, Dutchess is ready to sign the contract! As much as she enjoys her toys and dog friends, her absolute favorite thing in the world is her people. She thrives on interaction, connection, and being part of the action. Whether you’re playing fetch, hanging out in the yard, or just relaxing at home, Dutchess wants to be right there with you. If you’re looking for a fun, social, athletic girl who will greet you like you’re the best thing that’s ever happened — every single day — Dutchess is ready to rule your heart.   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 19, 2026, 2:24 pm
