Amazing show. Any animal lover should watch. So much dedication and love between this family and their staff. The love for these beautiful abused and abandoned dogs is incredible and their top priority. Bless these beautiful people. Would give it a 10 if ratings were higher. I love Tia, wished I lived in New Orleans. Would volunteer to help these amazing people and dogs. We need more people just like them. Awesome. Look forward to seeing more seasons.

Why should I have to pay? animal plane/discovery channel should show season 9, 10,11 and 12 on tv! I pay for animal planet channel for them to show your series yet they don't! The last season that was shown in canada was season 8! not impressed with this crappy channel that lies and can't keep up.
