Animal Planet's Executive Producer Lisa Lucas sits down with Tia Torres after the Season 6 premiere for a little Q&A in the all-new Aftershow. See the timelapse of the studio setting up.

Break out the tissues because our old friend Cheech finally found his forever home and family! Tears were definitey shed in the final farewell -- but of joy and happiness at seeing this great dog finally find a loving home.

Tia and the Villalobos team head to the St. Martin Parish Animal Shelter to take dogs rescued from a fighting ring back to VRC. The poor pups have been through hell and back … but they still manage to have nothing but love for humans.

Another season of Pit Bulls & Parolees with the Villalobos team begins! Join Tia Torres and her crew in Season 6 for more tough rescues in New Orleans where their work is never done. But they will fight on to help save as many pit bulls as they can!

When Tia and Louise arrive on the scene of a frantic homeowner being 'terrorized' by a scared pup, the duo are ready for the worst. The dog they soon meet is VERY different from their usual calls.

When Bug, who has been at Villalobos for a very long time, finally has a chance at a forever home, Tia wants to go the extra mile to make sure she's ready for the lengthy trip - i.e. Acupunture ... The only question is: WILL SHE LIKE IT?!

When Tia and Louise set off to reunited a little chihuahua named Pizza with his long lost owner, he is SO happy (sitting on Louise's lap) that he could PEE. Thanks for taking one for the team, Louise!

Team Villalobos race off to a crime scene before it's cleared and remaining dogs are moved to a county shelter -- which often can be a death sentence for pit bulls! Can they save these poor pups in time?!

The kids make Mom proud with all the incredible work they've done on their new business to support the rescue - a bar! Cajun for "thirsty dog," "Tahyo" Tavern is open for business!

Part 3: Wonder what Tia's many tattoos are all about? Hear what she has to say and find out what her family thinks about being on the show.

Part 4: Everyone deserves a second chance. Parolees aren't a "risk" to work with - they're just people who've made mistakes along the way.

Part 2: How did Tia get started in the dog rescue world? Well, it was certainly unconventional.

Part 1: Is it hard to say goodbye to dogs getting adopted after developing such strong bonds? Tia answers that question AND addresses why she thinks there are so many more dogs to rescue in New Orleans vs. their former California region.

Part 5: Is there ever a situation where dogs and/or people don't deserve a second chance in Tia's eyes? Annnnd ... find out Tia's "secret talent"!

Part 7: Since the beginning of the series, has Tia seen a change in the perception of pit bulls? And, why does she think it's important to give parolees a second chance?

Part 6: Tia talks about flying (and NOT doing it), NOLA vs. Cali, and shares what was one of her favorite rescue and reunion stories.
