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?
Yes I will watch any new season of pit bills and paroles!!! Great show.
I order their merchandise to help donate. I pay way to much for cable and I am not going to pay anymore for it so I guess my donations will go somewhere else.
It is very hard to find ‘Pitbulls’ schedule. Why don’t you just leave it where it was. I miss it. 82 years old and baffled.
I see people complaining about discovery + I also live on a fixed income but if you just check it out it’s only 4.99 a month and you get so many more channels than just discovery at least look at it and see it really isn’t that expensive it’s how I’ve been watching the show
I love the show but don’t have discovery channel and can’t afford it.
It sucks that all of the quality reality shows are moving. I have been watching Pit Bulls and Parolees since it started. Why would animal planet let this show go? I don’t have Discovery Channel as I am a senior citizen on a fixed income and cable fees are so high,
I along with that other lady can’t afford any more than the minimum on Spectrum and I’m betting the price will go up again this year. All this stuff is very confusing to me. I’ve been watching Tia for umpteen years and I watch the re-runs every day she is on. What do I do?
I love Pit Bulls and Parolees I can’t wait for the next season, and to see where you move to next.0
I enjoy your show each week. I do have a question about dogs that come from good home. Reason is I have a 10 year old bulldog that I need to go to a good place. I am selling my house and can’t take him with me. Any help would be appreciated.
This isn’t the Villalobos website. You need to contact them directly. They have a website, as well as facebook and other social media. Just google Villalobos or Pit Bulls and Parolees.
it is my favorite show. Watched it on Animal Planet now Discovery Plus. Get it for $4.95 pretty cheap I think.
Sorry to see the show ending on Animal Planet. Understand the move, but cannot afford all these pay channels. Will miss it.
I’m really upset about the move to Discovery +. I’m a senior and I can’t afford it. When you you have cable and have a set bill monthly I expect to pay for what was offered. Now you’ve changed that. Why pay when you can’t get what you first signed up for. Some people have other devices and with the “+” they can now watch. Well, good for them. I only have my tv. I thought that originally you’d still see regular shows and those who got “+” would be able to watch the SAME SHOWS but watch on other… Read more »
I think it sucks, we can’t afford Discovery plus Animal Planet we liked Pit Bulls & Paroles but are very sad. It totally sucks. They keep showing reruns on Animal Planet Tia’s getting paid for both channels. It sucks.
They don’t get paid anything close to what people think and it probably was either switch or be canceled. I bought the whole season on YouTube for 9 dollars .
Which whole season? How do you sign up for Tia’s new shows on You Tube?
Yes, I will continue to watch Pit Bulls on Discovery WHEN it shows up! It’s June 2021 and it’s still not on Discovery. So where is it?
It’s on the Discovery+ app. Already airing season 18.
There have been no new episodes so far. The current season has stopped at episode 5 and there have been no other episodes since then. WHEN IS IT COMING BACK???
Does Tia have a plan to follow when starting a rescue? If so could she publish it, or if not she should.
