Stevie The Golden Golden Retriever Fairfax, VA

Stevie (aka Higgins) has a golden retriever temperament - loving and gentle. His foster Mom shared these insights: When I sit on the floor he comes over and gently sniffs my head-shoulders-cheek - his whiskers tickle. He enjoys petting and eagerly approaches and leans in for it. He loves food, especially plain, unsalted rice cakes as treats! Stevie is a brave dog, but had a hard life before HART. He was picked up as a stray in southwest Virginia, dirty, matted and wandering around alone, which is especially disturbing because he is fully blind. Although he can't see his sense of smell and hearing are excellent and help him navigate quite well after he learns the obstacles in a space. Stevie is smart and is quickly learning commands.
