LeAnn was born in Anderson, IN, moved to Indianapolis before relocating to Evansville in 2017.
After watching a story on the news about a severely injured pit bull named Lilly, LeAnn’s advocacy journey began. After Lilly’s abuser was found, LeAnn became deeply involved with advocacy, education and adoption of bully breeds. Working to strengthen the owner/pet relationship, low cost clinics were created giving owners access to low cost vaccines, microchips and spay/neuter options. More than 1000 owners took advantage of these services and kept many pets in loving homes.
Believing education is a top priority, LeAnn attended countless events from Ft. Wayne to Louisville over many years cultivating community relationships while providing information and resources to pet owners.
LeAnn loves all dogs (especially puppies!!) but bully breeds will forever be her passion.
LeAnn currently shares her home with her fiance and 2 American Staffordshire Terriers- Brenna, my foster failure and Macey, adopted from ITV and CGC certified.
LeAnn also serves as ITV’s volunteer coordinator and she can be reached at volunteers@itvrescue.org.
