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?
We have been watching lots of reruns because we love the show, and we would love to see the new episodes, unfortunately we don’t get the discovery network they are on.
So glad Pit Bulls and Parolees was picked up by the Disovery Channel . This is one of my favorite shows
Please get Pitbulls and parolees back on the air!!!! We fans are really missing the show.
I miss watching Pit Bulls and Paroles. Watched it faithfully. I made it a point when I was in New Orleans several years ago to visit you and Earl had given the tour. I also cannot afford to pay extra as my cable bill has reached the $200 a month mark. PLEASE PLEASE BRING IT BACK TO ANIMAL PLANET so we all can get to watch it again. THANK YOU!!
Cannot believe this has been moved to discovery +, which I can’t afford! Because of medical reasons! Please put this show back on animal channel. I watch every afternoon while I am resting. Love the dedication and compaction that Tia and her family show these poor dogs. The people that do this to these poor dogs are unhuman!!!
PLEASE bring PIT BULLS & PAROLEES Back to Animal Planet!
I want Pitbulls and parolees to return to regular tv, whichever Discovery or Animal Planet. I been a regular viewer and contributer since they first started
No, I missed all of it because I didn’t know until August it was moving to Discovery. Why wasn’t there more publicity about this?
Why are there only 5 episodes of season 18 on discovery + streaming?
We are loyal PitBulls & Paorolees fans. So what channel are they going to be on. Right now they were on channel 184
I love this show and this breed! When I was 12 pit bulls mauled a friend of mine. He spent weeks recovering in a hospital. Seeing this as a starting point I learned to understand and respect this breed. The only bad dog is contributed to a bad owner.
Do your research…PirBulls are the BEST family dogs!!!
I love it! Tia and her kids are amazing and inspiring
Pitbulls is my all-time favorite TV show. I watch the reruns every single weekday for 2 hours on Animal Planet. Would love to know when the new seasons start. I just can’t get enough of the show. I wish I lived in New Orleans so I could volunteer, too. What a fulfilling job that must be.
I’m disabled and pit bulls is my all time favorite show it is the hilight of my day. I hope I can find all the new shows. I will set my dvr so lcan get all the new shows on discovery
Hello Tia! I have been searching for your show! So you have moved to different channel! I was hoping that Ida did not take you out! How is everything?This blog will not reach you or be deleted! I do not have a lot to offer you… Just a loyal viewer with a big heart. I live in Florida. If I can help I will I really would love to watch your show! How do I do so?
Me too. I’m Linda hunt from Henderson Nevada and I have anxiously been waiting for your new season.if there’s anything we can do to get you back on air let us know!
I have watched this show for years. Pitbulls and Parolees is my favorite show. I watch every rerun Mon thru Fri on my cable system; on Animal Planet. I cannot stream any programs, due to the location of my home (foothills of Applanation Mountains). Technology is not available. Many millions of people are in the same situation, and cannot get Discovery+ Channel. PLEASE let all of us continue to support Villalobos Rescue Center by returning to Animal Planet “free TV” . I pay too much for cable as it is.
Us too! Love the show but AT&T does not carry it on Discovery and we can’t afford Discovery+. We agree with Diana Sapp on all points!
