Nieva is currently living and training with her handlers at Beaumont Correctional Center. 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. The bio below was provided by her handlers at Beaumont Correctional Center: My name is Nieva! You can call me Nievea, Neva, or Niv, I answer to all three. I am a Pitt/Bully Mix who is full of love. I have a motherly attitude, I have had numerous litters of puppies. Also I am a cancer survivor, I am strong, I am roughly 50 pounds, and I am gentle as a kitten. I will bark and let you know that someone is at the door, I am not a toy guarder or food guarder. I get along great with all breeds of dogs. I love bully sticks, and I like to have my belly rubbed. I am around 6 years old. I have been trained on numerous commands, such as sit, down, wait, stay, leave it, come, stand, watch me, look, focus, go to mat, go to crate, and place. I would make a great addition to your home. Let's live together forever!
