About Pit Bulls and Parolees

Popular Animal Planet series PIT BULLS AND PAROLEES follows turbulent drama and bittersweet moments as ex-convicts and ill-reputed dogs come together to strengthen one another. Tia Torres has spent the last 20 years of her life in California building Villalobos, the largest pit bull rescue in the United States. But insurmountable issues with the local community and government drove her to make the life-altering decision to leave her home state and move to the vibrant city of New Orleans, a Cox media market. A city known for its resilience, strength and kindness, "the big easy" has proven that it may just be the perfect place for her family, her pit bulls and her parolees to rebuild and reenergize.
