Pet of the week: Destiny

Destiny is a 6-year-old spayed female pit bull and terrier mix. She is a very sweet dog, with beautiful tan-and-white markings. Destiny was found as a stray and is a little thin, perhaps because of neglect. Although 6 years of age, Destiny loves to play ball and exhibits puppy-like qualities. She will make a great companion for an active person and needs daily exercise. A home with a yard and an owner willing to spend time with her would be a perfect match. If there are any kids or other animals in the household, bring them for a meet-and-greet with Destiny at the Burbank Animal Shelter. Her identification number is ID#A037705.

The shelter is at 1150 N. Victory Place, Burbank, phone (818) 238-3340. Hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Closed major holidays.
