Lexi's Journey begins a lot earlier then when she entered our lives at Save A Life.

We are not sure who "owned" her or was responsible for her care previous to us rescuing her. However, I can tell you, her health and saftey was not a priority on anyone’s list.

In the wee hours of the morning, a call was placed to us at Save A Life from a High-Kill Shelter in GA. Not only was the shelter preparing to euthanize because they were at full capacity, they were calling us as a last resort. Sometime in the middle of the night, a box was placed by their front door with something crying inside. Shelter staff was at a loss for words when they opened up the box and found a little puppy, no more than 12 weeks old, with a hind leg dangling from its body. Without knowing the severity of the situation or overall condition of the puppy, we knew we couldn’t let this little girl suffer any longer.
A volunteer made the 8 hour drive, without hesitation, to free this little girl from her suffering.  

"Lexi" was taken directly to Dr. Larkin at Altamonte Vet Hospital where she was given a full physical and had X-Rays taken. The X-Rays taken confirmed the news. 




Lexi had a shattered pelvis, hip and leg that was beyond repair.
This lovable little girl, who is only 12 weeks old, would now be embarking on a brand new life as an amputee. 

Since "Lexi" is so young, we do expect her to make a fully recovery and be the most amazing 3 legged puppy anyone has ever had the pleasure of meeting!

Throughout her stay with us, "Lexi" has given us nothing but full on puppy attitude! Sometimes, we don't even know if "Lexi" realizes the severity of her situation. She always greets everyone with tons of puppy kisses and just wants to play!

It is devastating to think what kind of trauma this puppy had endured to cause injuries this severe.  It is even more heart wrenching to realize that someone knowingly did this and basically left her to die in pain.

One thing we do know for sure is that "Lexi" couldn't have been luckier than to come into our lives here at Save A Life Pet Rescue.

We are extremely privileged to have the best group of Veterinarians use their prestige knowledge of veterinary medicine to help our rescue animals.

"Lexi's" surgery, pre and post op, will cost us somewhere between $1,000-2,000.   

We are asking the community to reach out to help in anyway they possibly can to help fund "Lexi's" amputation surgery.
