Stevie's Story

Stevie is currently living and training with her handlers at Lawrenceville Correctional Center.<br/><br/>Through a partnership with the Virginia Department of Corrections, Pixie's Pen Pals (a program of FETCH a Cure) places homeless dogs in the care of incarcerated people for dedicated, individualized training and socialization guided by canine behavior specialists.<br/><br/>The bio below was provided by her handlers in Lawrenceville Correctional Facility:<br/><br/>Hi, my name is Stevie. I am one year old, but I act like I'm much older. I'm a Shepherd mix and I am looking for a good home. I'm a little scaredy cat with loud noises, and can be leery of new places, but my sweetness and gentleness overrides my fear. I love people very much, and love to cuddle if you let me in your lap. I'm potty trained, and can hold my water better than any pup this side of the Mississippi. I love my crate and find that it's a source of comfort for me. I'm not a big fan of toys, but I love a good rawhide chew. I hardly ever bark, so I won't make the neighbor's mad at us. I'm a good girl, and won't get on the furniture without your permission. If you are reading about me...fate has brought us together... come and visit me!

FETCH a Cure's Adoption Policy
Our staff and trainers review the information contained in the adoption application to ensure that the dogs are placed in homes best suited for their personalities and any special requirements. A home visit is required in order to ensure that your future canine companion is in a home suited for his needs. The application and home visit makes it easier for us to learn more about you so that we can help find the perfect match for your home! Our goal in this process is to ensure happiness and a forever home for our dogs and your family. While we work on approving your application, we will submit your information to the correctional center at which your future dog is housed. An adoption visit at the correctional center is required and pivotal to your ability to help your dog to transition between rescue program and forever home. The correctional center visits are only allowed during business hours on weekdays–our staff will help to plan the visit as far in advance as possible
