My Modern Hero
“ My mission is to rescue. My hope is that one day I won't have to” I have chosen Tia Torres as my modern hero because of her determination and willingness to save those who need saving and help the misguided get back on track.

Normally has a few choses plus a website that helps get a better look at the dogs. The amount of dogs that come in to villabobs is about 75 dogs per month that's more dogs coming in than going out, Villalobo is the largest pitbull rescue in the world with 300- 400 dogs in the kennels.

Pitbulls have been found in many different conditions by the villalobos team whether it’s an abandoned house or cut loose to run in the streets. From starving old dogs chained to a fence to new puppies left to die, even dogs with the scars of dog fights.
