- Tia Torres: My name is Tia Maria Torres and I know about second chances. I run a sanctuary for over 300 pit bulls... The world's most misunderstood breed of dog. And it's for parolees the guys I hire because nobody else will. I'm not fighting the battle alone. My family shares my passion. In the City of Second Chances my mission is to rescue... My hope is that one day I won't have to.
