The Pit Krewe

The Pit Krewe The Pit Krewe of Louisiana is a group composed of Pit-Bull families. We, as devoted Pit Bull families, know and understand the breed.

The Pit Krewe of Louisiana is an advocacy group composed of pit bull families that encourage responsible ownership and strive for the fair treatment of pit bulls/pit bull families everywhere. We are families that have known, respected and appreciated the love of a pit-bull (or quite a few!) While we are not a rescue, we are an advocacy group that educates families and the public about the wonderf

ul breed we call our family. We know the history of our favorite breed and we also know the discrimination that our dogs face on a daily basis. We know that it takes time to help people understand that Pit Bulls are not inherently dangerous, but that it takes a dangerous person to create such a situation. We take pride in our four-legged family members and do our part to respectfully protect their image. We face much opposition, but we handle it with poise. We pride ourselves on education and our ability to withhold judgment from people that do not share our views- the very thing that has kept Pit Bulls down for so many years. The Pit Krewe spans many states aside from Louisiana. We are not contained to the United States, even. We are thankful for every single member. The Pit Krewe is what our members make us. We are nurses, firefighters, sheriff deputies, paralegals and attorneys. We are salesmen and women, we are students, mothers, fathers and teachers. We are doctors, truck drivers, veterinary technicians and veterinarians. We are criminologists, business owners and editors. We are automotive technicians, soldiers and EMTs. We are people from all walks of life. We share one big thing in common. We all know the love of a Pit Bull- the loyalty, the devotion and the joy that they bring. To know a Pit Bull is to love them. We hope that you take the time to get to know a pittie if you’ve yet to make friends with one. It just might change your mind.

Dr. Seuss had one. Helen Keller claims they’re one of the best therapy dogs. Jon Stewart has two – and they watch over his young children. But these aren’t the stories you hear when you hear about pit bulls. “I think it all started back in 1987,” says Ken Foster, author of numerous books on…

Five years ago today, the Vick dogs were rescued from their lives as victims of cruelty and embarked on their journey as survivors, educators, trailblazers, and friends.

Here are some of our favorite quotes from Jim Gorant's book, "The Lost Dogs: Michael Vick's Dogs & Their Tale of Rescue & Redemption." (The dog in this photo is Leo, a Vick dog who was adopted by Marthina McClay of Our Pack, Inc.; Leo passed away recently, but his legacy is stronger than ever!)

"Some dogs can be raised in the harshest way possible and still have nothing but happiness and companionship to share with the world.”

"The Vick dogs showed that even under those circumstances many of them still did not prefer to fight, and even when they did, the simple fact that they were pit bulls did not guarantee that they would be good at it."

“The pit bull was simply a dog, imbued with all the positive and negative attributes of its kind. Just like any dog, pit bulls could be sweet, friendly, and loving, and they could also be unruly, ill-manned, and prone to doing incredibly stupid things by human standards. But for a number of reasons, pit bulls were the latest breed to get sucked into a self-fulfilling cycle of fear, hype, substandard care, and rising population.”

"The truth, in the end, is that each dog, like each person, is an individual. If the Vick dogs proved nothing else to the world, this would be a significant advance.”
