''Pit Bulls & Parolees'' is an American reality television series on Animal Planet which confronts the misunderstandings of the Pit Bull breed. The series debuted on October 30, 2009. It features the Villalobos Rescue Center and was originally located in Agua Dulce, California; however, the organization has relocated to the New Orleans, Louisiana area. It is the United States' largest pit bull animal shelter. Founder Tia Torres appeared on ''The Daily Show with Jon Stewart'' on September 24, 2014 and stated that her organization has approximately 400 dogs and that the notoriety of the show has resulted in "four times" as many dogs being directed to her organization. ==Background== ''Pit Bulls & Parolees'' depicts the day-to-day operations at the Villalobos Rescue Center (VRC), including rescues of abused, neglected, and abandoned dogs, and the center's efforts to adopt out dogs to new owners.
