Chippy
Adopted 🐾💕
Chippy is a mixed breed female, 3-4 years old, 10-12 lbs, fully vetted, up to date on shots, micro-chipped, housebroken, and good in a car and on leash. Chippy needs an “ADULT” home, NO CHILDREN, and would do the best as the only dog, however does get along with one of the dogs where she is living. Foster mom says, “Chippy can be loud sometimes and bark at strangers however has never shown any aggression.” She has a thick soft undercoat, long nose, huge ears, dainty tiny feet, small boned, long bushy tail and almost resembles a miniature wolf or coyote. Chippy has never been a biter. If you can provide a home for Chippy please contact JoAnn 561-313-2005 or joann@destinyfordogs.com

RIP “Jackie 0” – August 17, 2016
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.

We love you dearly

Willow and Shadow Update
Willow and Shadow were both adopted and living a wonderful life. Willow when found was tied to a pole outside, dirty, depressed and it was obvious that she already had puppies. We have attached her before photo along with her “Happily Ever After Photos” with her other adopted canine sibling. This is also a message from their family:
“To all the rescue angels at Destiny for Dogs. Thank you so much for bringing these two adorable sweet dogs into our family. Please take comfort in knowing you have given them and us a better life and so much love!”

Joey – UPDATE HAS A FOREVER FOSTER HOME
Joey is a 3-year old Corgi-Chi Mix who may be facing the unthinkable – to be sent to the Rainbow Bridge for lack of a stable, loving and permanent home. For his entire life, he has either been adopted and returned, or bounced from foster home to foster home which none have been able to devote the time, patience and care he needs to learn to live with his special needs. He has never known true love.
This sweet, lovable, cuddle-bug of a guy can’t process information like most dogs and is easily over stimulated. He will need to be on medication for life, and is currently working with a veterinarian/behaviorist in Palm Beach to help him learn how to comfort himself and stay calm. Most of all, he needs a human who is as special as he is and who has the desire to help him live up to his potential. It is what he deserves!
Joey’s current foster can no longer keep him and boarding is out of the question due to his unique needs. The lack of stability is exaggerating the affects of this chemical imbalance and his current foster family has little time to devote to his behavioral training. In short, Joey is out of options and out of time unless we can find him a human who can and will love him for life.
Joey is full vetted and current on vaccinations. These are his special adoption needs that Destiny for Dogs wants to maintain:
- Adopter needs to live within one hour of West Palm Beach.
- Adopter must be willing to travel to West Palm Beach at least 2 times a year to meet with the veterinarian/behaviorist who has been working with Joey.
- Ideal home is one or two adults (seniors or retirees preferred), no children and no other pets. If grandkids visit it would be best for Joey to be in a separate room so he can stay calm.
All serious inquiries please contact JoAnn Goodrich at 561-313-2005 or joann@destinyfordogs.com

In Loving Memory of Cornelia Perez
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
