The beautiful female in the photo is Audra. The Marion Animal Shelter (Arkansas) received a call about an injured dog that was laying in a field. When they arrived, Audra was found with a head injury, bleeding from her nose and ears. Audra's face was also temporarily disfigured from the blunt trauma. She had several broken teeth and a piece of her tongue was gone. According to Joanna (animal communicator) Audra was stolen and when night began to fall, Audra realized she wasn't going home and she jumped from the truck. Audra was blinded after falling head first into the asphalt highway. Audra stayed in the shelter for about 2 weeks. She was so terrified and was trying to protect herself by huddling in the back of her dog run. Due to the fact that the Marion Animal Shelter is small and virtually NO Pit Bulls ever get adopted, plans were made to euthanize Audra. Hearts of Gold Pit Rescue rescued Audra from the shelter and after being in foster care for 6 months, she was adopted. It is the goal of Pit-Bull-Crusaders to make others aware of other much deserving dogs like Audra who are sitting in shelters on death row. Look at her beauty ... had emails and phone calls not transpired, she would be a statistic instead of the beautiful, loving, special girl that she is. Long live the majestic Pit Bull ....

A "crusade" is defined as "a vigorous concerted movement for a cause or against an abuse." This group was created for "CRUSADERS" of the Pit Bull. The primary focus on this list is rescue and transport, although any Pit Bull information, happy endings, health tips, etc. will be appreciated. If you post and are successful in finding rescue or help for a dog, PLEASE share the good news. The success stories give us momentum for the days ahead. WELCOME to Pit Bull Crusaders!
