He will be missed by all.
💔IN LOVING MEMORY OF T-BONE💔
Dear T-Bone,
We did our best to provide you a second chance at life. You were so loved by all who touched you.💕
We took you for a long ride in the car, listened to music, you ate cheeseburgers, Dr. Abbott and her staff gave you yummy treats, until it was time for you to go. I spoke to you softly, told you how much you were loved and held you closely, until you went peacefully. We were all with you while you crossed over the Rainbow Bridge🌈
Run free and happy dear T-Bone. No more suffering, no more pain, no more being neglected.
When you left, you took a piece of my heart. Until we meet again…
Rest in Peace dear, sweet, beautiful, Lucy. Until we meet again. You will remain in your parent’s (and my) heart ♥
Otis will be truly missed by his Mom, Dad, Barry and the entire family. Cancer took this sweet angel.
Destiny’s dear friend and Toby’s beloved mother, Barbara passed away sadly leaving her three dogs, Duke, Pupster and Toby plus her two cats, Minnett and Mui Mui. Barbara was a great supporter of Destiny for Dogs. We have taken her fur babies (Duke, Pupster and Toby) and will find loving homes for them.
Update: Pupster and Duke are with their new loving forever homes.
During Barbara’s memorial service we met Lucy. She asked about Barbara’s babies. Afterwards Lucy went to Toby’s foster parents, Sue and Bill, to meet this special boy. It was love at first sight. Below is a picture of Lucy and her son Luke. 
Darla was a very special dog. She loved to go for walks and chase her ball into the ocean. Later as her vision went she loved to ride around in her red wagon. She will be missed♥
Hopscotch is a 9 week old puppy found in the garbage and taken in by Destiny for Dogs. Hopscotch has a heart condition and she will sadly “outgrow” her heart within 9 months. Hopscotch has gained 1 pound since being rescued. The vet and staff are taking very good care of Hopscotch and Hopscotch will remain in her foster home and we will all ensure that whatever life she has on this earth will be happy and full of love.
Many thanks to a very special someone for donating the funds for Hopscotch’s tests and offering to assist with her monthly meds. We are still in need of assistance with Hopscotch’s vet visits. Destiny will be sending special food monthly via chewy.com.
Please keep this darling girl in your loving thoughts and prayers. Please don’t worry about Hopscotch as her Hospice parents will not let a day go by without her feeling love, tenderness and happiness.
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of Hopscotch’s life.
Dear Kat & Bill,
We are truly sorry for the loss of your beautiful and loving Jackie O. She was very blessed to have you and Bill and you were equally blessed to have her. I know that you gave her everything she needed plus all the love and nurturing.
Jackie O will always remain in your loving thoughts and prayers until you meet again at Rainbow Bridge.
We love you dearly
Destiny for Dogs
As the shock of losing a beloved friend, my voice has failed me until now. The world, my world, the rescue world from Vero Beach to our Rescue Destination and beyond gave Heaven back Cornelia Perez on May 15th, 2016. She was lifted from this earthly life surrounded by her beloved husband, children, dogs, the love and prayers of friends and admirers from every walk of life.
As grief has dulled into an ache to hear her voice one more time, I have dedicated these past hours, days to her words, all that she inspired and taught me about what rescue really means to the animals. While rescue has long been my passion and has brought me joy in untold quantities and forms – what I will forever be thankful for is Cornelia. Cornelia brought me hope, inspiration and absolute determination that I could do this. Never by myself; but with her belief in me and guidance she was the strength and the wisdom out of which my Destiny for Dogs became a reality.
Cornelia Perez was, and will always be, the unsung hero of my heart. She would never accept praise, applause or accolades she so well deserved in life. She knew, and assured all of us that our best way to show appreciation of her is to dedicate our hearts and souls to the animals. Many of us have followed in her footsteps; few of us will ever fill her shoes.
I know I speak for everybody in our corner of the rescue world…she is greatly missed.
Rest in Peace our sweet angel and continue the care of our babies that have crossed over the rainbow bridge that will need your continued love.
All my love to you my dear friend,
JoAnn Goodrich

Miss Vee you have a home there with all the other Destiny for Dog angels who are welcoming you into their forever home.

See you later our little angel girl. Know that you were loved dearly by mommy and daddy. You had 17 wonderful years of life and gave so much happiness to so many and placed smiles on their faces. Only 3-1/2 pounds, however you were the alpha dog in the “Goodrich Household.” You were never afraid of anything, not even Guida (Blue & Gold Macaw) who chased you around the house. You always stood up for yourself unlike your big brothers and sisters who ran away from Guida. Your quirky little walk, that sweet little face and those beautiful eyes.
A piece of our hearts went with you last Sunday (1-31-16) night when we let you go. Dr. Bennett was very gentle and kind. I asked you to look into my eyes, to trust me and I told you that you would soon no longer be in pain and know you were loved. I know you felt surrounded by love. I held you and kissed you and told you it would be OK to go. Dr. Bennett made sure you were comfortable until you were at peace.
After you left us I held you until it was time to say “Good Bye” to your earth body. We will scatter your ashes with your other sisters and brothers.
You are once again happy, healthy and whole. You will remain in our hearts until we meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. We love and miss you.
Daddy, Mommy, Morgan, Monk, Guida, Sophie, Ginger and Abby.

Rest in peace little guy, run free at Rainbow Bridge where you are now, happy, healthy and whole. Until you meet again, always in your mom and dad’s hearts.

We lost our dear sweet senior “Papi”. His dear sweet mom, Mary Sue, held him and loved him as he crossed over the “Rainbow Bridge”. Papi surely felt the love around him as he left us. Papi’s mom spoiled him and loved him so much and provided him with such a wonderful quality of life for his last few months. Rest in Peace angel boy.
Onni,
When we adopted you we had no idea what you would be like. What could be wrong with you that someone would give you up? You turned out to be the best most loving companion anyone could ask for. Our time with you was short but full of love and joy and we were thankful each and every day for your coming into our lives.
♥ Rest in Peace our sweet angel ♥
Jack aka Frankie was called to his forever home and will become part of his new “Over the Rainbow Bridge” family. Sometimes we cannot control what happens but can only hope that this sweet angel knew what real love was before he left us. His final journey was preceded by the love that Destiny for Dogs showed him by rescuing him and letting him know that he was loved.
Rest in Peace our canine friend and don’t forget to find our sweet departed “Destiny” who will be glad to share her bowl, bed, blanket and toys.
Abby Leia is with her Forever Foster family as she can not be adopted as she has “Mast Cell Cancer.” Donations would be appreciated to keep her comfortable until she crosses over the rainbow bridge. This is a picture of her when we first got her. Once diagnosed no one would take her and keep her until the end of her time. Her foster family has had her for a while and will give her all the love she deserves until she takes her last breath. She is still happy but we know her time is short. If you would like to donate money for her continued care please click on the donate button and make a donation or you can mail a check to our address on the contact us page.
Last night at 8:37PM, a little angel named Peanut grew her wings and flew away from her loving home of 17+ years to Heaven. Her strong will power pushed her to walk without sight, try to stand on legs with no strength and, in the final minutes of her life, I watched her breathe her last struggling breaths after all had failed.
My house & my life feel so empty and lonely now without her, my little Peanie Weenie, who weighed just over 3 pounds at the end. I believe she can now see perfectly and run on strong legs, and the day will come when she will be by my side once again.
Cheryl
Have you a kitty in Heaven, Lord?
Is there room for just one more?
Cause my little kitty died today;
she’ll be waiting at your door.
Please take her into Heaven, Lord.
And keep her there for me,
just feed her, pet her, love her, Lord,
that’s all she’ll ask of Thee.
