Stevi's Mission: Heal with Dog Tags


Stevi was the first dog Shaun got to meet from PBB. The three of us had an eventful weekend, one that included the Red Hook Ball Fields, a must! Photos are displayed above.

Stevi's Mission: Heal. Stevi will be paired with Bill Campbell, an Iraq war veteran in Feb.. Stevi will meet Bill when she is 17 months, and is the very first service dog Puppies Behind Bars will donate under its new "Dog Tags" program. She was raised by inmates in the Edna Mahan and Mid-Orange prisons.

When I read these stories of dogs like Stevi that I help socialize, I know how lucky I am to be particpating in this program. In some small way, I get to make a difference in someone's life.
