Good New Pupdate.  Luke hit the doggie lottery.

We are wishing Luke and his Mom and Dad continued “Happy Days Ahead”

Special thank you to Foster Mom Jackie Sickels and Family.

Good New Pupdate.  Bella has been adopted and in her loving forever home.  It was love at first site.

“Of course, dad fell in love with Bella’s photo right away!  So glad I got in touch with you!  Bella is such a sweetheart.  What a love!  We are home.  She is busy investigating the house.  Thank you so much for sharing Bella with us!  We just absolutely adore her…we take turns who gets to sleep with her!  She is just a total love.  Thank You, They You, Thank You!”

Destiny for Dogs love all our happily ever afters. Bella is so deserving of her new loving forever parents.  A special “Thank You” to the prior adopters, Jim and Alan Peden for rescuing Bella.  Sadly, Jim and Alan’s neighbor across the street passed away and Bella was roaming the neighborhood (see the before and after photo, the after photo with the foster family and the final photo of Bella’s new mommy and daddy).

A shout out to Dr. Linda Abbott, Lynn McGrew and staff at the Animal Clinic as Wellington Reserve for the excellent veterinary care.  Also, a special thanks to foster mom’s, Clair and Ruby for all the TLC.

Many thanks to Joy Drasher at The Clip Joint for working her magic on grooming  Bella.  It does take a village and Destiny for Dogs is so fortunate to have such amazing “Villagers.”

We are all wishing Bella, Mom & Dad, “Happy Days Ahead!”
Lots of Love & Thanks to all

🐾💕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

🐾💕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!”

🐾💕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!🐾💕

🐾💕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.”🐾💕
