‘Pit Bulls and Parolees’ Renewed by Animal Planet for Season 8 (Exclusive)
Animal Planet wants reality series “Pit Bulls and Parolees” to “stay.” The cable channel has renewed the show for a 10-episode Season 8, ahead of its milestone 100th episode.
The 100th episode will air on Saturday, Jan. 2 at 10 p.m. Immediately after, Fox Sports TV personality and pit bull advocate Jay Glazer will host an 11 o’clock special from the Villalobos Rescue Center.
“Pit Bulls and Parolees” follows Tia Torres and her family, who operate the rescue center — the largest facility for the breed in the U.S. Not only has Torres helped hundreds of abused or discarded dogs, she’s also offered a fresh start to more than 50 parolees.
