For more than 20 years, Tia Torres has dedicated her life to Villalobos Rescue Center, the largest pit bull rescue center in the U.S. Tia has offered a fresh start to more than 50 parolees and a new lease on life to dogs that were discarded, demonized and abused, often due solely to the reputation of their breed. In ANIMAL Planet's PIT BULLS & PAROLEES, Tia and her family bond together to fight the never-ending battle and emotional rollercoaster of running the nation's largest pit bull sanctuary. For Tia, each NEW DAY brings happiness or heartbreak - and sometimes, both.
