Pit Bulls & Parolees is not going anywhere anytime soon. The series has been renewed for a 16th season, and new episodes will arrive later this summer.
Animal Planet revealed more about the renewal of the series in a press release. Check that out below.
“In Animal Planet’s PIT BULLS & PAROLEES, Tia Torres dedicates her life to running Villalobos Rescue Center, the largest pit bull rescue center in the country, where she works tirelessly to dismantle the unfair stereotypes placed on pit bulls. In fulfilling this mission, she also offers a fresh start to individuals recently released from prison who work for her as staffers and volunteers; together they strive to give a new lease on life to dogs that have been discarded, demonized and abused due to the reputation of their breed. In the never-ending battle to save man and man’s best friend, Tia and her family now dedicate their lives to saving any breed of dog in desperate need of help. PIT BULLS & PAROLEES returns to Animal Planet on Saturday, July 25 at 9 PM ET/PT.
After nearly 30 years in rescue, Tia thinks she has seen it all – but this season, New Orleans rescue life keeps her guessing. In the season premiere, Tia and the Villalobos team receive an unexpected call when a local adopter returns her new canine companion, Sweetcakes, soon after taking her home. Mariah, Tia’s daughter, works to rescue Mr. Crowley, a well-behaved dog that was abandoned at a store after his homeless owner could no longer care for him. Viewers also meet Alicia, an extremely emaciated dog desperate for a second chance at life after she is brought to the Villalobos dog boutique in the French Quarter.
This season’s rescues are full of unforgettable ups and downs, including stories of resilience and solidarity. Tia steps in when a rural shelter meets capacity and takes in new dogs to save them from what would’ve been their unfortunate fate. She also takes a pit bull rescued from rough conditions in Kuwait. We’ll also witness the Villalobos family come together when one of Tia’s twin sons is involved in a motorcycle accident, and the entire Villalobos crew pitches in to help with his recovery. Later this season, Villalobos Rescue Center is shocked when their favorite parolee is arrested, leaving his future at the rescue uncertain. Throughout the season, Animal Planet audiences will witness endless heartfelt tales of companionship as dogs find their forever homes.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of this Animal Planet series?
Yes I am a fan of this show. It is the best on TV. Can’t wait for July!! I love Tia and her fantastic family. They are all just awesome people. Doing a service in this world like nobody else they deserve the utmost respect and praise.
I, too, love the show but I’m wondering if Tia would be willing to lose the sunglasses on occasion during her on-screen narrations? The eyes are where people see compassion and mercy. I think connection with those qualities are what draws people into the mission. Are you doing OK, Tia? I’ve sensed weariness and depression and I’m concerned about how you’re holding up under the burdens you carry.
Pit Bulls and Parolees is abolutely THE BEST show on TV, and I hope it never goes away, as they love, care and protect the abused, neglected and abandoned animals at VRC. The love and commitment is exceptional and amazing — and we get to watch and appreciate!
Thanks to all who contribute their resources and support!
Tia and her Villalobos Family have been dedicating their entire lives for what they believe is right, being the change they can be. It’s not like other reality sites where everything is staged and manipulated by producers and writers. They are an inspiration to anyone with a heart, and to everyone who devotes their lives to helping underdogs of any kind!!!
This is my favorite animal rescue program. Why is stopped showing on animal planet, along with other animal rescue instead of those phony Irwin’s. Now some other program
replaced Pitbull’s with out notifications

This show and their efforts and work are Aaaaaaaaamazing!. What a blessing. And what a joy to see these mistreated animals happy in LOVING homes. The people on this show – Tia? children, etc. don’t just place them; they make sure they will HAVE HAPPY, HEALTHY LIVES. I thank God for them and pray for their continuance and strength and support.
