LOVE-A-BULL’s Pit Crew is an award-winning all-pit bull and pit bull mix breed Canine Good Citizen and therapy dog program serving Austin, TX and surrounding areas.
Our teams are more than just dogs who provide therapeutic interaction, but they improve moods, build confidence and heal hearts. Pit Crew teams work as ambassadors for their breed, helping to educate the community about dog safety, the humane care of animals and the importance of never judging a book by its cover.

Types of Pit Crew Visits
- Therapeutic Visits: Popular with schools, crisis centers, assisted living centers, hospitals, and even college finals weeks, therapeutic visits are cuddle sessions where the presence of a sweet dog provides comfort and companionship to anyone who needs it.
- Book Reading Buddies: Request a Pit Crew dog to read to at your local library, or request dogs at your school to help get kids excited about reading. Dogs are great listeners and help kids relax as they learn and practice these critical skills.
- Art Activities: Dog bandanas, paw art, dog-toy making, and other fun activities are great for students (or summer campers) to help local charities or just create some cool stuff. Want to work on a project with Pit Crew? We can help!
- Dog Safety Talks: Pit Crew is available for assemblies and clubs to talk about dog safety, caring for pets, dog training, and the world of therapy dogs.
- Advocacy Visits: Pit Crew attends a number of festivals and special events every year to give presence to the positive, sweet, and well-behaved side of pit bull-type dogs. Request a Pit Crew dog to attend your event and add a bit of puppy charm with a kissing booth or photo-op with America’s finest four-legged friends.
Request Pit Crew visits by emailing pitcrew@love-a-bull.org.
