A low-cost spay and neuter program created to help bully breed dogs is returning to Las Vegas this month. Hearts Alive Village Las Vegas will host the next Alexis Project clinic on Sunday, September 27, offering an opportunity for families to access more affordable surgery for their dogs.

Appointments are required and space is limited, making advance scheduling important for anyone hoping to participate.

Affordable Care With A Bigger Purpose

The Alexis Project was created to make spay and neuter services more accessible for bully breed families while addressing a larger issue facing shelters and rescues: unwanted litters and the ongoing pressure of pet overpopulation.

Hearts Alive Village previously brought the program to Dog Friendly Las Vegas readers in 2025, when we shared the story behind The Alexis Project and the people helping turn a personal loss into a lasting effort to support pit bull-type dogs. Read our original feature on The Alexis Project and the story behind the program.

The program was established with support from animal advocate Linda Faso in memory of Alexis, creating a way to honor her legacy while helping other dogs and their families.

September Clinic Details

The September 27 clinic will provide low-cost spay and neuter services for bully breed dogs. A $25 deposit is required to reserve an appointment.

All surgeries will take place at:

Hearts Alive Village
3250 N Decatur Blvd.
Las Vegas, NV 89130

Appointments can be scheduled by calling 702-496-0705 or emailing helpline@heartsalivevillage.org.

Because appointments are limited, families interested in participating should contact Hearts Alive Village as soon as possible rather than waiting for the clinic date.

A Program That Helps More Than One Dog

Spaying and neutering can have an impact that extends well beyond the individual dog receiving surgery. Preventing unplanned litters can help reduce the number of dogs entering an already crowded shelter and rescue system, while giving families access to an important part of responsible pet care.

For bully breed dogs, that work carries an additional significance. The dogs are frequently overrepresented in shelters, where misconceptions about their appearance and breed can make finding homes more difficult.

The Alexis Project approaches that challenge from another direction: helping families keep their dogs healthy and preventing more dogs from entering the shelter system in the first place.

For those who missed last year’s coverage, our full feature on The Alexis Project provides more background on the program, its origins and the effort to create lasting change for pit bull-type dogs in Las Vegas.
