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?
I cannot afford streaming and donating monthly. Does anyone know how much damage the hurricane caused this year? How can I find out about my sponsored dog; Kenai? I realize if the damage was extensive, it may be some time before we hear.
I am trying to find out what days and times (CST) Pitbulls and Paroles are on and if on Discovery or Anomal Planet. I am retired and on a social security. I’m praying it is on TV and not on streaming only. I cant afford a streaming fee and love this program. I love what they do for the annimals.
Is Pitbulls & Parolees coming to Discovery Channel in April 2022?
Well I guess I won’t be able to watch pitbulls & parolees now. Very disappointed and angry about this and many once watched for free shows now have to be streamed and paid for. Greedy channel owners don’t care about middle-class or lower income people. Animal planet only has trash shows most of them have very little to do with animals.
I am so disappointed that pit bulls is no longer on animal planet. I can not afford to get any streaming channels. I think it is so unfair on what they r doing to people with these streaming channels. We get poorer while they get richer
Cannot believe you moved this show to Discovery. This isn’t right!! We cannot afford to stream shows. I know i am not alone. We don’t have cable and pay for every minute of data. Thanks for being like Facebook— Profits over people!!! Move Pitbulls and Parolees back to animal planet!!
It seems Discovery has played a cruel joke on everyone and left Tia and her family and all those wonderful dogs to fend for themselves! I don’t understand how they can legally just drop the show! Last I read Tua and the crew were in bad need during the last hurricane a lone and no media to help them out. I along with most did not like the move from Animal Planet, a,a, don’t know enough about it to commit. But I do know we were promised to have the show continued on Discovery. Now they don’t get the media… Read more »
Not pleased about Pitbulls and Parolees moving to the Discovery Channel. I do not subscribe and cannot afford to. Please bring it back to TLC!
I’ve been watching Pit Bulls and Parolees since the first episode back in California. I LOVE this show, but I’m stretched financially about as far as I can get stretched. If if goes on Discovery “streaming” I will miss it, but cannot afford to add more to my bills.
I love Pitbulls and Parolees, but I will not subscribe to the Discovery Plus Channel to get it!
I ‘be been waiting for the new season to start. I didn’t know they were canceled on Animal Planet. But, I cannot afford another bill for TV.
Shame animal planet is not the same.
I have been waiting for them on Animal Planet- tired of watching fishing guy and the Texas game officers! Those are for mostly for the male population whereas animal planet is for all of us! A real shame that they got moved and I can’t afford another bill either! Not fair. Did you ask our opinion and why did it get changed???
I am very upset that is is no longer on animal planet. I can’t afford to add the discovery channel to my already large cable bill
I am hooked on this show! Watch it several times a week! These people are angels to animals! Tia is the leader angel….Please keep this show on for years! Love you Tia , family and workers!
I love the show. I hope I can still find it without subscribing to something else.
