🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM MAGGIE AND GRACIE’S MOM🐾💕

“Just wanted to give you a quick update from Colorado now that we’ve been here for 3.5 months.

The girls are doing great and were so happy to spend the summer in a much less humid climate. We live right next to a 4-acre park so it’s just like having a huge back yard, which they love.  

Here are pictures of the girls playing in the river on a record-breaking hot day on September 6th and then experiencing snow for the first time on September 9th (yes, just 3 days later – crazy weather!).”

Maggie and Gracie are no longer Florida Sunshine Girls🌞 They are now Colorado Rocky Mountain High Girls⛰ 

🌹We are wishing Maggie, Gracie, Mom & Dad continued “Happy Days Ahead!”🌹

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM SCARLETT’S MOM BELOW. THIS IS ONE LUCKY LITTLE LADY!🐾💕

💗Special “Thank You” to Scarlett’s Foster Mom, Michelle Martin, for taking such great care of her before and after open heart surgery💗

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM RUBY’S MOM🐾💕

“Ruby with dad … thank you for bringing us together 5 years ago.  Ruby will be 11 in August.”

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE ON HARLEY WHO HAS BEEN KNOWN AS BUDDY FOR CLOSE TO NINE YEARS🐾💕

From Buddy’s mom, Tish:

“Hi JoAnn!!  It’s Tish.  I just wanted to share this photo with you.  Guess who’s 10 years old now?  How time flies!  And he still has and eats out of the red bowl you gave him when I took him home.  The top is when he was rescued & has the date on it – and they figured he was about a year old then.  The one on the bottom is when I brought him home.  And these two of him and Rainy having fun in the snow – I LOVE the smiles on their faces. ♥️♥️”

Seeing these photos bring tears of joy. Buddy was one of the worst abuse cases that I have witnessed over years in rescue.  This is why we do what we do. Why we are the voice of the voiceless.  Thanks to all rescue angels for all that you do each and every day to save precious lives.  Buddy is a perfect example what love can do💗 Harley, who we refer to as “Buddy”, was the first dog that I assisted with rescuing from MDAS.  Poor guy was found in a box on the streets of Miami. He was totally emaciated and very ill. It was touch and go for months. During this entire process a dear lady (Tish) fell in love with Buddy. Tish never gave up on him. She drove from Vero to West Palm Beach weekly to visit Buddy. Always bringing him toys and treats. Tish was/is truly Buddy’s “Rescue Angel.” Thank you Tish for all you did and have done for this very loving and deserving guy. You will always be my hero. 

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM MOLLY’S DAD🐾💕

“Molly is doing well, has started to come out of her shell. I think she is just feeling better and has really come to life. Full of energy and wants to play. She has even put on a pound or two. Today was the first time she went up the stairs to our house. Molly has really started to enjoy herself. 

I had wanted to get a dog/Molly for the kids. Strangely I am Molly’s favorite. She has me wrapped around her paw. LOL.”

Molly is one fortunate little gal. She was rescued from a backyard breeder. Her puppies were removed while she was still nursing and full of milk. Molly was a mess, and had no trust in humans. Special thank you to her foster mom, Michelle Martin for taking such great care of Molly.  Plus seeing Molly through with her new family🌹

We are wishing Molly and her new family lots of love and only “Happy Days Ahead!”

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM LEO’S (LEROY) MOM🐾💕

“Today was Leo’s Birthday🎈He has been such a good boy for us. Thank you again.”

We are wishing Leo a “Happy Birthday” and many, many more. Plus, continued “Happy Days Ahead!”

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM MAGGIE & GRACIE’S MOM🐾💕

“We are finally moving to Colorado at the end of this month. Maggie & Gracie are going to love it out there and so will we.”  

🌞🌞We look forward to photos of the Florida Sunshine Girls that will soon become Colorado Snow Bunnies🐰🐰

We are wishing Maggie, Gracie, Mom & Dad, a safe trip and “Happy Days Ahead!”

🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM PETRA NOW GRACIE’S MOM🐾💕

“Gracie gets better everyday.  She walks on a leash (sometimes) and now sits (also sometimes).  And oh my goodness does she LOVE Auggie.  She absolutely adores him. She sleeps in our bed along with Auggie and sometimes. Mariel, the cat.  (The cat and Gracie have formed a truce). 

She loves to be outside running in the yard or just laying in the sun. She lays in a “sun spot” like a cat soaking up the heat.  I think it just feels so good to be outside. She is completely potty trained.  All the neighbors are smitten (but who could blame them). Thank you so much for bringing her into our lives.  She is such a blessing.”

Gracie was one of 10 Pomeranians rescued from a backyard breeder. All were bad shape, physically and mentally. HUGE THANK YOU to Foster Mom’s Michelle Martin, Jennifer Kelly-strzepka. You have hearts of gold. To our vets and their amazing staff, Linda Abbott , DVM and Evan Kadish, DVM. Plus, Destiny’s Sister Rescue, Have a Heart’s Janice Bagnato Green, Diane Francis, their vet Dr. Butzer and staff. Thanks to Cynthia Clements for picking up nine girls at one time and transporting to Animal Clinic at Wellington Reserve. 

Destiny is honored to work with such loving, caring, dedicated, compassionate and committed fosters, rescuers, veterinarians and staff members to get all these angels to the most amazing loving forever homes. 

From King’s dad: ‘Twas a year ago today that King began his journey to Virginia. He’s wearing his winter coat in the photo on the left; his spring attire – including bandana – on the right. An ophthalmologist has been treating his dry eye and since January his coat has improved dramatically thanks to a change in food to My Perfect Pet. King would say he was “The King” before I ever showed up. But most days he wants to spend at least 30 minutes in my lap.’

This handsome guy hit the lottery with his extraordinary forever home🐾💕

🐾💕Wishing King and his dad, continued “Happy Days Ahead!”

Special Thank You to Cynthia Clements for trapping Scruffy after she was running lose for 4 months. Thank you for arriving at the Amelia  Earhart Park with freshly cooked bacon at 5am to trap Scruffy! Also, many thanks to Officer Juan for feeding and watching over Scruffy to ensure her safety.  This was total dedication and team work to make this happen. There are not enough words to express our appreciation to Cynthia, Juan, and others who assisted. Thanks to all, this special angel is living the life she so deserved🌹

Scruffy now LuLu is adored by her new mom. She is now fully vetted, happy, healthy, and has a personal trainer. LuLu’s beautiful hair is growing back after being totally shaved down from her entire body being matted. 

We will continue to provide updates as LuLu’s hair grows all the way in and her progress with personal trainer, Jennifer Bielen. 

Love, Hugs, and Thanks to Cynthia Clements for not giving up until LuLu was safe and sound and for transporting her to Dr. Kadish for the medical care💗

We all wish LuLu and her new mom, Happy Days Ahead!
