Pit Bulls and Parolees, a show known for rescuing and rehabilitating dogs, was in the Frackville area shooting a future episode for the show that airs every weekday on Animal Planet.
The show is centered on the work of Tia Torres, who works alongside her daughters and felons on parole to rescue, retrain, and rehabilitate dogs with the hope of finding them a new home.
On Wednesday, they partnered with the DAWGS Prison Program, in Pottsville, for a future episode.
Torres brought 19 dogs to the State Correctional Institutions at Frackville and Mahanoy. The dogs spend about four weeks with the inmates before being put up for adoption to the public.
There is no word on when this episode will air, but Animal planet Says hopefully by the end of 2020.
