I have fostered several dogs for GDH and a family member actually adopted one of them. They were great and always answered me in a timely manner. They truly want the best homes for the animals and will look a tall potential applicants to make sure the animal has the best home going forward.
Doing a great service for animals needing rescue, entirely by volunteers!
Helping animals find homes how can you not like/respect this
Both my boyfriend and I have sent emails and filled out multiple applications with no response. Even tried calling. Horrible.
Great quick service. Sad to hear the kitties meowing before leaving.
I adopted my new cat Oscar from Derry humane society . Pam who helped with my adoption was wonderful answered all my questions and was such a big help. Thank you for my Oscar
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.
worst service ever! i had to keep calling them showing them how bad i wanted a dog and they still wouldn t give him to me. Disappointed! never even got a text or email!
Just because you "want" a particular dog or cat ,as the previous reviewer stated, doesn't mean they will just "give" it to you. There is a process that rescues go through to choose the best adopter for the dog or cat's particular needs. I felt comfort in this when I had to surrender my dog. My dog ended up in a home that was perfect for her.
This is in response to Ashlley Flores review. I am a volunteer with The Greater Derry Humane Society. We did receive Ashlley s application, and I can verify that she was contacted by multiple volunteers. Even after the adoption process was explained to her, she still continued to call us every day asking for the dog. While we sympathize with her disappointment in not being chosen for this dog, it is completely unfair to leave a bad review for a rescue based on this. I can assure everyone that the dog was placed with the best applicant for his needs. That should be what s most important here.
This is a very dedicated group of volunteers. I see their hard work every day and its always about doing whats best for the animals.
I have never been so idk not sure why Google thinks I did
Very unprofessional. We inquired about a dog, application accepted, the day before the home visit they said never mind the fosters want to keep the dog, oh well pretty much. They didn't know how to email, didn't tell us about the adoption process. Will never use this rescue again. Educate your volunteers on how to properly run a rescue. I worked for a shelter for 2 yrs
We've got our dog from there and its been a joy dealing with them.
The very best! They eased the burden of giving up my beloved Belle.
The address listed is not the humane society. It is someone's house.
This shelters in private homes, does not have a kennel building. In many ways this is better than a staffed building.
