Villalobos Rescue Center

   Pit bulls and Parolees is a television show on Animal Planet about a woman named Tia, who runs a pit bull rescue center called Villalobos Rescue Center. Villalobos Rescue Center and Tia doesn't only rescue pit bulls, it also rescues parolees (people on parole). Tia was on the wrong side of the law for a long time, and when she got out she experienced how difficult it was to find work because people thought that if someone was on parole, they were bad and always would be. However, Tia knows differently, she knows that parolees can work just as hard and just as well as any person who isn't on parole, and chances are, they'll be so grateful for having work, they'll hardly miss a day. The purpose of Villalobos isn't just to save pit bulls, it's to save parolees from going back to a life of crime to survive, too. What Tia and her team does is take in abandoned, abused, or unwanted pit bulls when they have no where else to go, and nursing them back to health. Villalobos is also very careful about who they adopt their pit bulls out to, checking the house in which the dog will be living, and making sure it's fit. They do this even if the house is in a state half way across the country! Villalobos Rescue Center is an amazing place, created by an even more amazing woman, who wants nothing more then a better life for the world's pit bulls and the world's once-bad people with the desire to change.
