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?
My prayers go out to Tia and everyone that’s part of the rescue. You all are awesome, I love you and hope things get better out there soon after this ridiculous hurricane. I hope the show starts again soon too. The education it gives the public about pit bulls, dogs in general, and rescues is extremely important.
Cannot wait for them to start filming again! Love watching the show and praying for them all. Hoping they can make it thru this hurricane and Discovery will start filming again to make sure they are all safe and can keep all the dogs safe and cared for
When is Pitbull and Parolees going to be shown again. All the fans miss it terribly. It got bounced around and now you’re not even filming it. Sorry but Northwoods law is boring. I want to see more of Tia and the gang.
Absolutely will watch!
I will absolutly watch it on discovery
Love this programme, started watching it through lockdown. What a lovely family, to care so much about the dogs. It also helps parolees gain some stability and self worth due to looking after the dogs. I’m lucky as I can watch it anywhere it goes.
I am not a fan of The show. I avoid it. The amount of money coming in from the show and donations has put many of them in fancy cars to say the least, rather than nicer kennels. Adoption rate low, only to keep the show going. I’m hoping they get canceled soon. This was a cash cow for Tia Tores!
Look at Tia – do you think she looks like she has a cash cow!!! She lives in a trailer- how many times have you gone into a group of chained up mean looking growling dogs and saving them t0 only to find out that they are very sweet loving dogs!! You must not have a heart or care about any stray or abandoned dogs
Yes love the show
Am sad to hear they will no longer be on animal planet. I will be unable to watch on discovery + due to no internet or streaming in the rural area i live in. Will really miss the show. I really enjoyed watching it since it began.
Will be on Discovery channel in April
Use the computer app. It’s free
Love this show! I wish as a Canadian we were allowed to have these dogs. So inspired by the work Tia and her family do.
I don’t have discovery and can’t afford it. So sad you won’t be offering it on a basic channel on cable. So many donations will end if they are not seen more!!!
love this show gives me hope that not all humans r disgusting. live in vancouver canada paid for animal planet because of this show very unhappy not happening on this channel anymore 🙁
We love this show she is an excellent excellent person very good hard it please don’t ever cancel this show
Will pb/p be on regular discovery or just discovery +
I love this show. I have seen ever episode. My dog Jax watches it too. As much as we love it we won’t be subscribing to yet another streaming service just to watch one show. We will miss seeing all the people and dogs.
I miss it on A.P.. I have never watched any programs on Discovery but would watch PB&P. The big problem is; I have seen it listed in 3 articles before this, then it starts appearing as Discovery+ which I would have to pay $20 a month on top of an already ridiculous cost for the programming I have left. With all the 1/2 hour oldies that have been removed there are time periods I can’t find a thing to watch so I go to my PB&P recordings. I am disabled/over 65 and know how it feels to be one of… Read more »
