Lexi was a loving pit bull. She passed away recently at the age of 13. Lexi’s family knows how lucky Lexi was. She was adopted from a shelter at a young age and lived her whole life with one family. She was never bred or raised to be a fighting dog. In fact, Lexi shared her home over the years with 3 canine brothers and a canine sister. Lexi was happy to make friends with everyone she met. Lexi had a wonderful, full life with a family that loved her.

Lexi was one of the lucky ones. Statistically, only 1 in 500 pit bulls are adopted due, in part, to the ugly stigma attached to these breeds. They need more help to find homes than other breeds. Of those pit bulls that do find homes, breeding or fighting is too common. Many dogs are passed around from home to home their entire lives or die at a young age because the shelters they end up in can’t place them.

Anyone who is close to a pit bull knows that most pit bulls are loving, comical dogs who never ask for much, yet are so misunderstood by the public. All contributions to Lexi's Fund will be used to help pit bulls, either by temporarily housing them until they find homes, promoting the adoption of local pit bulls, helping to fund spay/neuter surgeries, and to continue to educate the public about the pit bull breeds at events such as Pit Bull Awareness Day.

Help keep Lexi’s memory alive and give Pits a chance at happiness like she had.

Millions of companion animals are euthanized every year in the U.S. simply because there aren't enough homes for them all. American taxpayers spend millions of dollars collectively to round up, house, and care for homeless animals. This scenario will only continue until we understand and demonstrate the importance of spaying and neutering our pets.

If your pets aren't fixed, please do so! There are many health benefits to spaying and neutering in addition to helping control the pet overpopulation crisis. If your pets are already altered, help a family member, friend or neighbor get their pets altered. It's the only way to stop the senseless euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals.
