LUPE'S STORY
Lupe brought so much love, light, and personality to everyone she met and changed us for the better.
Lupe’s time with us was cut short by a terminal brain tumor that she bravely fought for 11 months post-diagnosis.
The Lupe Fund was created in her memory to help other French Bulldogs receive life-saving medical care and extend their time with the people that love them the most.

Our Mission
The Lupe Fund was born from a simple, heartfelt truth: no family should have to say goodbye to their French Bulldog simply because they can't afford the care they need.
Founded in honor of Lupe, our 501(c)(3) nonprofit exists to carry on her legacy by providing financial assistance to French Bulldogs facing critical medical situations when their families need help the most.
Why French Bulldogs?
French Bulldogs can face substantial medical needs due to both hereditary and congenital issues. For this reason, The Lupe Fund has decided to dedicate our efforts on being a breed specific cause.
