In Memory of: Henry AKA Turbo
🌹💔IN LOVING MEMORY OF HENRY AKA TURBO)💔🌹
From Henry’s amazing mom:
“Hi just wanted to let you know I had to put Henry to sleep Tuesday:( He only had two good legs and hurt the back one Sunday chasing a squirrel causing a fracture and blown out knee. Henry’s other legs would not have supported him having surgery.
Like my vet said, Henry did what he loved to do and was loved these last years.
“I always told Henry, you only have 2 good legs left, you better slow it down!! Nope, not with squirrels it was his favorite thing and always go time!!!”
🐾💕Henry led a miserable life… until his mom met and fell in love with him. Henry hit the doggie lottery and was provided everything he never had. Plus many years of love, happiness, nurturing and fun. We are grateful to Henry’s mom for rescuing an older dog and providing a full lifetime of love in just a few years🐾💕
🌈Rest In Peace dear, sweet, Henry. Until you and your mom meet again. You will always be in her heart and loving thoughts 🌈

Pupdate: Hamilton
🐾💕GOOD NEWS PUPDATE FROM HAMILTON’S MOM🐾💕
“Just wanted to touch base with you and give you a little update on our Hamilton! I can’t believe it’s been 4 months with our boy, really feels like he’s always been a part of our family! Hamilton is such a love, and has made our lives 100x better. Hamilton spends a lot of time with his best friend Maggie, my parents standard poodle, they became inseparable from day 1! Hamilton has become quite the daddys boy, he gets so excited when Luis gets home and doesn’t settle down until Luis lifts him up and cuddles him like a baby. Hamilton loves the dog park and we try to go at least 2-3 times a week for him to have a good run and make new friends. We have been working virtually with a trainer, because of the virus, and Hamilton has become much more of a gentleman. His barking has improved and walking on a leash is getting much better! Our boy had his first good grooming and looks like a new boy, his shorter haircut also revealed a heart shape on his chest!
Hamilton has really been such a great distraction and comfort for both of us. He keeps me laughing everyday with his antics. Dogs really are so special and such a gift! I am so thankful for your rescue group for bringing my boy to me ❤️“

In Memory of…Lovey
This little kitty was living on the streets with a homeless woman. She was very I’ll and it appeared that she had been a while. As soon as we heard of this situation we picked her up and took her to the emergency. She was having difficulties breathing and was extremely lethargic. When she arrived, she was in full kidney failure and we could not save her. It was agreed that there was only humane thing to do – end her suffering. Before she left this world we named her Lovey and our volunteer Gina stayed with her and showed Lovey kindness and love. She had one final kiss before she passed. RIP angel.

🌈IN LOVING MEMORY OF LOBA A BEAUTIFUL, SWEET & AFFECTIONATE, 14 YEAR OLD COLLIE MIX SENIOR LADY WHO WENT TO RAINBOW BRIDGE ON MONDAY, JULY 13TH🌈
💔A special “Thank You” to Loba’s foster mother, Susan for taking such wonderful hospice care of her. Plus providing quality of life and TLC during her last few months on earth. The following message was written by Susan💔
“🌈Today we sent this beautiful girl to run free to rainbow bridge where I’m sure her other mother is waiting for her. We took her in after her owner passed away so she could spend her last few months in a big yard with lots of dog friends and love. Loba was a very sweet girl and will be missed by my family but she was ready to go. She was so bad on Sunday she couldn’t even walk but wanted to. Loba was struggling and I did not want her to suffer. She was so tired. But I had a dream that night that she was running thru our yard happy, healthy with her tail high and I knew it was her time. Run free sweet Loba🌈”

Pupdate: Buddy now Harley
🐾💕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.

In Memory of: Fuzzy
💔SAD NEWS UPDATE FROM FUZZY’S MOM💔
“Fuzzy has gone to dog heaven, he was in my lap eating dried liver chips when the anesthesia kicked in. He had a big melanoma in his jaw, we did auto immune treatments but rejected radiation and surgery for pain and no firm guarantees of extended life time. JoAnn we loved him so much and thank you again for finding him for us.
We still have Bunny, high maintenance with special allergy vet treatments etc. She’s almost totally deaf. Two trainers and various gadgets never solved her exasperating barking. But by default she’s now top dog and always lovable. Thank you for her- and for all you do for so many dogs.”
Fuzzy’s parents took such excellent care of him. We know there will be a huge void in their hearts and home. We are sending our loving thoughts and prayers. Fuzzy will always remain in their loving thoughts and prayers until they meet again at Rainbow Bridge 🌈

In Memory of : Tico
💔SAD NEWS UPDATE FROM TICO’S MOM💔
“It is with profound sadness that we tell you that we lost Tico this morning at about 11:15. He had been sick about two weeks. The first ultrasound showed that he had pancreatitis and a suspicion that he had prostate cancer but because of all the inflammation they were not sure. We had him rescanned today and they found cancer in his bones, lungs, abdomen, colon and prostate. They said it would be days – maybe a week and he would be gone and in terrible pain. We could NOT let that happen.
He was the most loving, sweet, gentle and beautiful soul that ever walked this earth. He deserved to have a long and happy life and I would give everything I own to have made that happen. He went out of this world the way he lived – sweetly and gently.
We want to thank you for giving us the best year of our life. We cannot believe how ironic this entire thing has been. We were to get a Westie female, six years old that was being retired from the same farm our Winchester came from. She was not supposed to be here until the fall. We got a call that they had to push up the schedule because of everything that is happening with the virus. Today is the day she will arrive from NC. I think my vet put it best. “He was sent to you to do a job. He was sent to bring joy back in your life after the loss of your beloved Winchester. His job is done. It is time for him to rest and then play at the bridge.” We will never forget him. He will always be close in our hearts and never far from me. He was my boy and always will be.”
We are all so very sorry for the loss of this beautiful and loving boy. We are also so appreciative to his wonderful parents who did everything possible to save Tico’s life. Thank You.
Until you meet again, Tico will remain in your heart. Just look Up🌈

🐾💕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🌹

🐾💕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.
