WHAT IS THIS?
Okay, a little explanation of what Life with the Underdogs is all about.
When Animal Planet shut its doors several years ago, Pit Bulls & Parolees and every show on that network disappeared. Only reruns are available. We were not given a warning, and we were left scrambling to keep our mission statement in the livingrooms of people around the world.
So I came up with "The Rabid Reality", a very small and online production company run by yours truly. From there, we created content for our online platforms, and of course, the priority was finding another Pit Bulls & Parolees.
Insert "Life with the Underdogs" (which was actually the original name that I wanted to give the TV show), a condensed and self-produced version of the Animal Planet's. Now, of course, there was no way that we could compete with the quality and substance of what a professional show puts out (each episode of Pit Bulls & Parolees cost approximately $400K to film and produce) So we had to adjust.
Each LWUD episode is about 15 minutes long, and the filming and editing are done by us. Not as fancy, but we try, and every dime made from signing up to watch it (whether here on Patreon or our YouTube channel) goes 100% to the dogs and cats of Villalobos Rescue Center.
Are we making a ton of money from it? No. But all we can do is keep on, keeping on (as the saying goes). Please consider becoming a paid member so that we can continue to help the animals that you and we love so much.

Tia,
WE ARE REALLY THANKFUL YOU ALL CONTINUED THE SHOW!!! WE REALLY ENJOY IT🙏🧚💗
Appreciate the videos, commentary, and all the good work. I am a member. And yes, animal planet did cancel all shows they have reruns and some have new dates but they’re not new shows as a previous person mentioned in the comments except maybe puppy bowl.
I don't understand why they would stop a successful and loved show. They truly missed out on a hit show that people would watch for years and years. But I love the Short videos I get on the patreon page. And the amount of content on the page far outweighs the cost.
She saves everything! She ROCKS!!

I still don’t understand why they canceled you and some other ones when AP is still on with brand new shows. It makes no sense especially when you were the number one show. Totally sucks.
There are not any new shows except the Puppy Bowl each year. AP was not a money maker so Werner Bros. opted to just run repeats and collect from the advertisers. They didn't give the AP employees any notice either but most of them knew it was going to be bought out.
Also an Underdog from the beginning! I love the content, keeping up with the dogs/cats and wolf dogs of VRC 🐕🐈🐺 I love all your dedication and love for the animals and the humans 💖
Underdog here if you are not you are missing out and so are all the dogs. Worth every penny!!
