VRC works ceaselessly to give Pit Bulls (and other types of dogs) another chance in life. Each and EVERY dog is taken in and received any and all medical treatment necessary. We work patiently to re-acclimatize fearful dogs to the loving care of a human, so that they may eventually be adopted. In some cases, these dogs have never had a kind word or touch, and it is a slow process. After determining temperaments and compatibility factors, we begin that long search for the perfect home.

Villalobos Rescue Center (VRC) had a life-changing experience in 2011 when we moved from Los Angeles County, CA to Southeast Louisiana. This decision took us almost a year to implement but it was our rescue efforts during Hurricane Katrina that just kept resonating in our mind and heart. So after almost 20 years in the “Golden State”, we made the “Big Easy” our new home. And in 2014, we expanded and set up another location in the rural country setting of Assumption Parish (1 1/2 hours from New Orleans).

We are now very proud to say that the “Village of Wolves” (Spanish translation from Villalobos) now makes Louisiana their home state. Beginning our journey back in the early 90s as a wolf/wolfdog rescue and now as one of the largest dog rescues in the world, we are where we are needed most.
