Destiny is like the cherry on top! Her foster mom says, "She's a fun addition to our house and easy to have around. She's a very gentle and polite girl and is happy to be a major couch potato. She loves to be pet, brushed and loved on! She loves her food and treats and other than that, really doesn't ask for much.
She would love to spend her days hanging out with another doggie friend or human, watching Netflix all day! If being in your yard is more your thing, sheloves to lie in the sun and roll in the grass, soaking up the rays on her beautiful chocolate coat. She is content just being at your side, wherever that may be and she gives the best little kisses in return.
Destiny is the perfect dose of daily perspective - she doesn't let much get her down. She does have some limited mobility, being a tripod, making due with 3 legs! She can walk short distances, but will require easy access to the outdoors to potty. She is fully housebroken and an easy houseguest. She can best be left alone in the company of another dog or on her own. She really seeks comfort from the foster's resident dog. Destiny has bonded very tightly with her foster family and prefers to meet new people with slow introductions. She can be shy at first, but once she loves you, she LOVES you. You can tell you're in with just a tiny tail wag, then you'll soon be getting full body wags!
In a nutshell, Destiny is JOY personified! She will melt your heart with her soulful eyes and gentle spirit. Consider giving this pretty lady a home. She would love to ride home with you....
