It’s been busy around here. We are having a ball with Loni.  She loves her Lambiepie and does her best to involve everyone. We just love her. Loni has helped me so much.

We lucked out and we have you to thank for trusting us.”

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM BAILEY’S MOM. WAY TO GO GIRL🐾💕

Finn the Norwegian Forest Cat

🐾💕MORE GOOD NEWS PUPDATES FROM BOHDI & TUCKER’S MOM. WELCOME BEAUTIFUL FINN TO YOUR NEW HOME

“💕Another pupdate! Bodhi & Tucker have a new brother – Finn the Norwegian Forest Cat. He was rehomed 3x and this is his last! The boys are all getting along after a couple of sketchy weeks of slow introductions! Bodhi decided he wanted to be his BFF from day 1 but Tucker not so much 😂 it’s actually funny because Tucker is so oblivious & laid back but he was not a fan! I think once he realized Finn could care less if he had his approval he decided it wasn’t worth the energy to terrorize him! Bodhi is completely obsessed & in love with him. It was certainly not in the plans to add a cat but really…why not?! The kids are over the moon & one less fur baby in a shelter or at risk. What a splendid gift they all are 💝

Tucker is Lili’s dog for sure! He sleeps with her, runs errands, she carries him on her hip like a toddler & he naps slumped on her lap while she works. It’s hilarious & precious.💕”

Always “Room for One More

Wishing Finn lots of love & happiness in his new loving forever home with his two & four legged siblings🐾💕💕

Frankie

🐾💕HEARTWARMING PUPDATE & PRECIOUS PHOTOS FROM FRANKIE’S INCREDIBLE MOM🐾💕

“My old boy, Frankie- catching some rays. He looks fat and old in those pics. Also some from this Easter. Guessing that he must be about 13? These street dogs never tell us how old they are.”

Frankie was rescued from PBCACC by DFD.  Being a young JRT mix, he was extremely HIGH energy, barky, and nippy. Thankfully, Frankie’s “Foster Mom” became a “Foster Failure. ” He needed a seasoned, knowledgeable, committed and extremely dedicated JRT owner. Barbara worked her magic with Frankie and he became the most amazing guy. Frankie assisted his mom with nurturing so many future fosters to successfully find perfect, loving homes. Many thanks to this extraordinary dog and his mom for all that they did to save precious lives. Together, they assisted so many neglected fur babies to live “Happily Ever After” lives. Just no words to express our appreciation to Barbara & Frankie

Bentley

🐾💕Good News Pupdate from Bentley’s “New Forever Family🐾💕

“I took this “first” picture of Bentley tonight after dinner and Zoomies.  Doesn’t he look so happy?!! Here is a pictures of me and my mom with Bentley.  He is doing really well and brings us such joy and laughter. 

Destiny for Dogs is certainly a wonderful rescue.  I am so glad Bentley was with your organization as it has been nothing but a positive experience.  I love that you keep both the adopter and former owner in the loop. I can’t thank you enough.  

P.S.  My mom is also almost as happy as Bentley is.  That makes my heart soar.”

We all just love amazing updates and “Happy Ever After” photos. 

Wishing Bentley and his extraordinary family only “Happy Days Ahead!”

🐾💔Very Sad Update from Rocky’s Mom.  Rest in Peace Sweet Boy💔🐾

“My boy Rocky passed away early Sunday morning😭.  He had a mass on his scrotum, it broke we rushed him to the emergency vet, they couldn’t operate because of his heart condition… he was in very bad pain, so I had to let him go, I feel so bad, but nothing I could do for him.. he was a great dog, and happy I had him for this long

This is go bye bye face, always happy to go bye bye in the car, it’s so lonely without him, I feel so bad.”

RIP Madi

🐾💔🙏FROM RON & MARYELLEN “IN LOVING MEMORY OF THEIR BELOVED, MADI. SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO HER LIFE🙏💔🐾

“It is with great sadness that MaryEllen and I had to let Madi go to doggie heaven where she can romp with our other 2 Westies… Maxine and Samee. Her organs were failing and other issues that affect 14 YO dogs. She brought so much ❤️ to us , our grandkids and everyone she met. On the good advice of our vet… she offered  that it might be better to let her go with dignity. So last Friday we sadly and with tears let her go peacefully. We miss her sooooo much.  Thank You for all you do and for your thoughts and prayers. Madi was so special and loving. She was with us morning, noon and night in our home, office, Florida and hearts. She truly touched everyone she met…. Everywhere. Right now our home and hearts are torn. We received many thoughtful messages from our friends and from everyone who knew her. We were truly blessed for the 11 years we had her but right now the tears are still flowing.”

🌹🙏Dear Ron & MaryEllen, 

We are all so sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved, Madi. Our heart aches for you. Thank you both for providing Madi such an extraordinary loving forever home and the best care any fur baby could wish for. We sending you loving thoughts & healing prayers. 🙏🌹

Tucker

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM TUCKER’S MOM🐾💕

“Good morning!☀️Today Tucker gets to be in the spotlight! We are just a week shy of his 4 mo “Gotcha Day” but I couldn’t wait to share these progress photos! Yesterday was spa day at the groomers and truly revealed how much he has filled out 🤩 he is now a super healthy 35.5 lbs 💪 he LOVES his homemade food. He snorts while eating 😂 & may have to change to a slow bowl when it used to take him nearly 30 min to finish his meals. Roasted cinnamon sweet potatoes are by far his favorite treat 😋 As you can see from the photo he even tolerates Finn the cat now! Tucker has decided that he is definitively Lili’s child and is now her official registered Emotional Support Animal 💝 They both need one another & I believe this was a divinely crafted partnership 🙏 We could not be more grateful for this little angel and for everyone who worked so hard to save his life”

🐾💕We are wishing Tucker and his positively perfect two & four legged family, continued “Happy Days Ahead!🐾💕

Finny

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM FINNY MONROE DONEHAM’S MOM ON HIS 1 YEAR “GOTCHA” ANNIVERSARY🐾💕

Backstory from Finny Monroe’s “Marvelous Mom.” 

“Hi, looking back at my first emails regarding Finny, I picked him up on July 16, 2022.   That was a great day for me and him.    I told him this morning his new BD is July 4 and per old records he will be 12 years old.”

From his perspective Finny wants to say:

 “Thank you Miss

JoAnn. You saved my life and I am very happy.   I am a Villager now and like all Villagers I’m retired and my favorite sport is riding in a golf cart every evening.  It’s so fun and we stop at a park and I get to smell every tree and blade of grass and then we continue my ride with my hair blowing smartly.  I’m so cute.

I have a favorite activity and that’s leading Mom to the treat counter and getting a bunch of treats put on my own blanket and spread all around.   I go from treat to treat eating away.  That’s so much fun.   I do this about 3 times a day and once again at bedtime.  

My wish for my birthday is that all dogs could find forever home.  My mommy tells me daily she loves me.   I love her too.   I’ve learned to give her kisses.  I don’t ever growl anymore.  I was just so confused until I found a home.  

Thank you again and again Miss JoAnn for not giving up on finding a home for me. Love Finny.”

🐾💕We are wishing Finny & Family continued “Happy Days Ahead!”

Plus we are all thrilled for Finny and the incredible mom who is truly his “Rescue Angel.”🐾💕
