Ep 9. Dogs In Prison

Set in New Orleans, Pit Bulls and Parolees is a heartwarming television series that follows the daily lives of the Villalobos Rescue Center, a rehabilitation shelter for dogs with a special focus on rescuing and rehabilitation of pit bulls. This show revolves around the rescue, rehabilitation, and rehoming of the dogs, as well as the parolees who help make it possible.

In the latest episode – Dogs In Prison – the Villalobos team is on a mission to turn the lives of two dogs around by giving them a second chance at a happy life. The two dogs, named Princess and Nutella, have been brought in from a prison in Louisiana to receive training and rehabilitation.

When Princess and Nutella first arrive, they are anxious and scared. We learn that Princess was once used as a bait dog for dogfighting, and Nutella was bred to fight before being surrendered to the prison system. But the inmates at the prison have been taking care of Princess and Nutella and have taught them some basic obedience skills, which has made them more adoptable.

The Villalobos team works with the inmates to further train Princess and Nutella, teaching them more obedience commands and getting them used to living in a home environment. As they progress, it becomes clear that both dogs have the potential to make excellent companions for loving families.

Meanwhile, the team at Villalobos Rescue Center is also called upon to help a pit bull named Zeus, who was abandoned in a backyard. He is malnourished and has a severe case of heartworm, but his gentle and loving temperament quickly wins over the team.

As they work to nurse Zeus back to health, the team is also on the lookout for his forever home. We see how they take great care in determining the best possible match for Zeus, visiting with potential adopters and learning about their lifestyles, families, and other pets.

In addition to the dogs in need, this episode also highlights the lives of the parolees who work at Villalobos. We get a glimpse into their personal struggles as they try to maintain a normal life while also helping the dogs in their care. One parolee, in particular, is fighting to keep custody of his children while also working to build a better life for himself and his family.

As always, the Villalobos team works tirelessly to help the dogs that come their way. This episode is a testament to their unwavering dedication to rescuing and rehabilitating dogs in need. With Dogs In Prison, viewers get a glimpse into the impact that programs like the one at the prison have on both the dogs and the inmates. It is an inspiring reminder that second chances are possible – for dogs and humans alike.
