    A Reality show that really feels like reality

    I really feel for this family. They are full of good intentions. Giving Parolees jobs & rescuing dogs that are not easy to place in good homes that understand the breed. But this was set up by a husband that has been (back) in jail for 3 years. They were married a short time before a stolen motorcycle is found on the property. It is not his, but it's his property therefore he's responsible. He is facing 3 strikes, a life sentence.

    Unlike most "Reality" shows, this one seems the least scripted. This woman is in deep pain, worried sick about her, her husband & her children's future & it comes through strong. She's an animal lover in the true sense.The parolees sympathize with her & try very hard to help out. It comes through strong. It's hard to watch & not feel sympathy for them, wanting them succeed. It's well shot, the narration is kept to a minimum. The words are coming from their mouths. This is reality at it's best

    I love this show

    God bless these beautiful people for giving a second chance to both misunderstood pit bulls and parodies. Both have such awful reputations, some completely unwarranted. As an owner of the most loving, charming pit bull, I love this show and how they show how gentle these dogs are. I love you guys for educating people. I hope you are around for years. These dogs need all the help they can get,

    Great show

    I have been watching this show off and on and I like how she and her kids care for the Bit Bulls and helping parolees. I hope they resucue animals for a long time

    The only show on TV I watch and actually keep the tv connection going for

    Excellent show for animal lovers.

    I have a hard time understanding how anyone could give this show low ratings.

    Tia herself, has several decades of animal training under her belt. She trained large exotic animals as well as dogs, and has tons of experience and training related to the behavior of dogs. When you watch her rescue even the most terrified dog, she does it with such care and compassion, you can't help but envy her.

    She moved her operation to New Orleans and has really taken on a huge challenge. The city itself is just FULL of pit bull breeds, it is practically overrun, and it seems as though the majority of the residents are incapable of taking care of the dogs they bring into the world. Tia and her group go to such extremes to help these dogs, I really admire her.

    Sure, her daughters are full of tats and have different colored hair daily, but how does that take away from the amazing people that they are? I could care less WHAT image they want to have, these people are awesome and so is their show.

    • Trivia
      The series began when Villalobos was in California. Midway through the series, Villalobos moved to New Orleans, Louisiana when they were forced to leave through rezoning and opposition from locals; they had helped in NOLA after Hurricane Katrina, and so chose to relocate there to continue their work.
    • Quotes

      Tia Torres: My name is Tia Maria Torres and I know about second chances. I run a sanctuary for over 300 pit bulls... The world's most misunderstood breed of dog. And it's for parolees the guys I hire because nobody else will. I'm not fighting the battle alone. My family shares my passion. In the City of Second Chances my mission is to rescue... My hope is that one day I won't have to.
