About Destiny

Destiny has really come into her own in foster care, learning the basics of crate training and daily routines. She fits right in with the other dogs and doesn't hesitate to greet new four-legged friends. Early on, Destiny missed some socialization because of a skin issue that kept her in quarantine at the shelter, so she's still getting used to the world. For someone who understands the needs of fearful dogs, she'll come around quickly and start to build trust. Now, her black and tan coat is sleek and healthy, and there's a gentle, sweet energy about her. Destiny is still shy at first, but with patience, she reveals a charmingly coy side. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
