Pit Bulls and Parolees is a television series that follows the turbulent drama and bittersweet moments of Tia Torres, her family and her crew of ex-convicts as they come together to rescue and rehabilitate abused and abandoned pit bulls. While most dogs are known as man's best friend, people have lost hope for the pit bull. That's about to change. Animal Planet introduces you to this dog's greatest ally, and she's not a man - she's a fiery red-headed leading lady, and she's determined to end the needless hostility toward pit bulls. Meet Tia Maria Torres -- 49-year-old mother, top pit bull trainer and founder and owner of Villalobos Rescue Center -- the country's largest rescue facility for pit bulls.
