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.”

I love the show. I don’t think I’ve missed an episode. I wish the show could go on forever.
I have watched the show from day one and love it. I saw all Tia’s kids get married and have kids of their own. I look forward to watching the 18th season on Discovery Channel. It is heartwarming to see how they save so many dogs and cats too and get them homes.
Love love love Pitbulls. favorite show for sure
I have watched this show since before they moved from California.
I love the way Tia manages the Rescue and how compassionate she is with the paroles.
Please keep this show going.
I hope it stays on forever. It was disappointng when there were only 5 episodes on Season 18. Will there be more about the new move.
I have watched this uplifting show since the beginning. Tia Torres and her whole family and all of her workers are the epitome of selfless dedication to the greater good of dogs lives, the workers lives, as well as theirs and other communities. I will watch it whatever channel it is on.
I am obsest with this show, I PVR it so I will not miss any, Just hoping there will be another season.
YES! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SHOW AND THE WHOLE FAMILY. I JUST WISH SOMEONE WOULD TELL US THAT IT MOVED AND WHEN IT IS GOING TO AIR. I NEVER GOT TO SEE ANY OF IT THIS YEAR. I WOULD EVEN WATCH IT THROUGH ON DEMAND! HOWEVER THERE IS ONLY ONE EPISODE THERE AS WELL!!!
I absolutely love Pit Bulls & Paroles and admire Tia Torres, her family and helpers. What a genuine animal caring and loving person she and the rest are with what they do. Nov 2021
I have been watching PitBulls since day one until they moved to Discovery network. It is very disappointing,as a loyal viewer to no longer be able to watch it
I’m an avid loyal fan of Pitbulls & Parolees and have been ever since they started back in California. I’ve been watching all their re-runs and hope and pray they do not move them to Discovery+ because I’m a retiree and live on a very tied fixed income. I believe that what Tia does is crucial for man and man’s best friend, I too have a rescue pittie that is my life. Please do not move them to Discovery+, I will be crushed. Thank you.
I am a loyal fan of Pitbulls & Parolees. Even during this time of darkness (no filming), I continue to watch all of the old reruns from their days in California to the establishing of the Wolf Dog rescue in Texas. I love them all! Of course, I would prefer that their new season was aired on Animal Planet (free) but if they get moved to the Discovery Channel (free), I will obviously continue to watch their show. Now, if they get moved to Discovery+ and a subscription is necessary, I will not be able to afford to do that… Read more »
