Pit Bulls & Parolees is returning for an18th season, but after 17 seasons on Animal Planet, the reality series is moving to Discovery Channel. The show about the largest Pit Bull rescue in the country will also air on Discovery+.
Discovery Channel revealed more about the renewal and the move of Pit Bulls & Parolees in a press release.
“Tia Torres is the heart of Villalobos Rescue Center, the largest Pit Bull rescue center in the U.S. For over 30 years, she and her family have gone above and beyond to give a second chance at life to pit bulls – dogs who have continually been demonized due to the reputation of their breed- and parolees. Now, in an all-new season of PIT BULLS & PAROLEES, new audiences and dedicated fans will be able to witness even more incredible stories of redemption and rescue with Tia and her Villalobos family in their never-ending battle to save man and man’s best friend. The new season of PIT BULLS & PAROLEES streams on discovery+ the definitive non-fiction, real-life subscription streaming service, and premieres on Discovery Channel Saturday, Apr. 3 at 8PM ET/ PT.
In the season’s premiere, the Villalobos Rescue Center crew is on a mission to catch a runaway dog, while daughter Mariah gets a creative idea for the parolees to design fundraising apparel. We’ll also see a family come all the way from sunny California in search of a new furry family member to share in their adventurous lifestyle.
Later this season, audiences will also meet other loving adoptees who travel from far and wide to give these dogs forever homes. We’ll see Tia as she visits a Mississippi shelter to give a hybrid wolf dog a second chance at life; daughter-in-law Lizzy as she leans on Tia for support in trying to find a work-life balance as a new mother of two; veteran tenant Lil Rocky as he faces a cancer scare and gets support from the Villalobos crew; and a pair of hearing-impaired dogs, Ben and Spike, who get the care they deserve. Audiences will also witness Tia as she gears up to revamp the Claiborne Warehouse when a hurricane heads straight for New Orleans.”
What do you think? Are you a fan of the Pit Bulls & Parolees TV series? Will you watch the new season on Discovery Channel?
This is one of my all time favorite shows. Love it and love the Villalobos family. With the global economy as it is, I cannot afford another dime for streaming. Cable charges more than enough. Who’s idea was this? You have broken my heart and so many others who love, but cannot afford any more expense. Come back to Animal Planet. Love to all at Villalobos!
I love pits and parolees. I’ll watch it on any channel it is on.
I have always been a fan of Pittbulls and paroles and as long as they are on tv I will continue to watch. Please don’t ever cancel this show.
Big fan of show, won’t pay for streaming.
SUPPOSEDLY new episodes were to start on Discovery beginning of April 2022. So where the heck is it? Big mistake moving it from Animal Planet.
Still havent seen it yet 🙁
It is my favorite show and no I will not be watching it on a pay channel. Greedy Discovery.
I don’t see it on Discovery Channel. Do I have to pay to see it? This has been my favorite show to watch.
I have not seen it on Discovery channel either. Somebody better explain this!!!!!!
I have watch pittbulls and porales for a very long time and have donated money every year.I don’t have the Discovery channel but I wished I did. I feel so bad that I will not be able to watch that show with all the dogs and all those on th show. Thank you for allowing me to enjoy the show all the many years that you were on Animal Planet. I will truly miss you.
Love you all
I’m so glad the show is still on!! I can’t wait to watch it. If it was only available thru subscription to Discovery + I’d subscribe, and quickly!
Not everyone else is so rich and can pay for a show twice. Once for cable and then again for streaming service.
Why were there only 5 episodes of Pit bulls and Parolees in season 18? Why did filming stop? Will there be anymore new episodes? I love this show and it’s been a while. Please let us know what is happening!
I love this show and have missed it. I’m so glad it’s on somewhere; I will have to try to find it.
