About Destiny

Destiny is a small, young mixed breed female with a medium coat, recently spayed and fully vetted—including bloodwork, vaccines, and a dental. After being rescued from the streets following weeks of sightings, she’s still shy and skittish with new people but warms up into a very affectionate companion once trust is built. She’s house trained and gets along with larger dogs, but does not do well with cats and should not go to a home with kids. For her safety and comfort, Destiny needs an adopter with a single-family home and a secure fenced backyard—no screened areas or courtyards. She’s only available for adoption within Palm Beach County. If given patience and security, Destiny will reward it with loyal affection. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
