TIA TALK - The Disappearance of Tia Torres

So, you just found out that you are the same as everyone of us here who loves & supports you, your family, & the dogs. Tia, not one of us can honestly say that this has never happened to me! It's just normal part of life. I'm sorry that you're going through this & will be praying for you. But please know that we all understand & can relate & we don't think any less of you! We admire that you're able to be honest with us, cause that's hard to do! Just one more thing that shows us how strong you really are!! Take the time you need to take care of yourself & be assured that we all understand & love you!! We're not going anywhere! I don't presently support financially, although I've followed you since Season 1, Episode 1 then found you on social media once Animal Planet stopped making new series. Now that I know, VRC, the dogs 🐕 are not getting donations as usual, I will find out how to join up to support VRC, on a consistent monthly basis, immediately!! Thanks for letting me, us, know this!! I'm retired, on Social Security limited income, but not struggling financially, my needs are met, so I can begin donating something each month, beginning this coming week, last week of July I will begin. Take care. Glad you are beginning to feel some better!!

Oohhh and please don’t be sorry, you’ve done nothing wrong! Thank you Tia for all the wonderful and amazing things you’ve done and countless lives you’ve saved! Not just anyone can do what we do I’ll tell you that much! When I tell people I do independent Pitbull rescue and most people are grateful that I do it, I respond with “It’s the most rewarding s**t shoveling job nobody else wants, if they only knew what they’re missing out on”! Lol, you were made as strong as you are for a reason, never forget that!

I sooo feel you girl! The struggle is REAL! But for REALS! lol! Sometimes you’ve just gotta take a step back and breathe for your own sanity, believe me I know! Tias gotta take care of Tia, cause we can’t do this without you, and of course THE DOGS first and foremost need you most! All my love, understanding, support and faith out to you girl, you’ve got this, I know you do!

Tia no one can be strong every single day every month every year. You are human. Those of us that have been with you for years know who you are and love you! Please take time for you and lean on us now!

Glad you're back!

As a mom of adult children ! As a woman in menopause I am drowning and over everyone’s shit. Lol I couldn’t even imagine having a rescue and everything on top of my regular 9-5. We need to give ourselves grace sometimes since we give so much to others. 😊 we always worry ! We are always go go go then life makes us shit the hell down sometimes. Hope it gets better soon !

Missed you but fairly sure all of your supporters are still here & always will be! Welcome back! ❤️‍🩹

Hang in there Tia! Maybe you finally reached the point where as strong as you are, You are only one person doing the jobs of many! And for a very long time! You have found out you're only human.... And we can reach our limit. Emotionally, physically, spiritually, and even financially. We just hit a wall that doesn't give way to all our strength. I hope and pray that you have found and can accept the love and support you need to carry on. You have many people that love you and admire you. We may not be in your immediate and intimate circle. But we're here to love and support you as best we can. I love you and all you are and all you mean to so many. Take care yourself and let others take care of you too. You know who you can trust. Let them be there for you. Let them support you. Much love love and positivity being sent your way Tia. I'm a 65 year old female who has hit a few walls myself. You're strong enough to break through. And you will be even stronger. Take many deep breaths along the way and let your loved ones embrace you with their love and support. ♥️🐾♥️

Sending you healing hugs and positive energy!!!

I’ll always forgive you. Shit happens to the best of us ☺️

Tia... You might not think it's your harmones. But if you have never suffered from it you wouldn't recognize it. Depression will hit hard and keep you from moving forward. It wouldn't hurt to check them.

No apologies needed!! You don’t owe us anything. Take care of yourself❤️

Tia don’t apologize as everyone understands and hopes you get well soon .

We love you & all involved with the rescue 🙏❤️ you have a very large burden on your shoulders. you're amazing all you juggle. Our hearts are with you

I don’t support you for all the social media or podcasts that you do. It’s the Rescue that matters.

You can only handle so much. You’re human. I don’t think anyone that supports your Rescue, doesn’t expect these, podcasts aren’t the only reason they support you. Mental Health is more important than social media. Take care of yourself, even strong people break. It’s sounds like Depression, don’t be embarrassed. Get the proper help, everyone needs it every now and then. You can only do so much. You don’t need an excuse or apology.

Hi Tia, you give so much of yourself to the dogs and. your fans so sometimes you just have to let yourself take a break! I think most of your fans like me understand that you will be back so try not to worry too much! 🤗❤️🐺

Tia, listen, we love you!! 💖 Most of us are not going anywhere! As for those who do, oh well, maybe they weren't the ones you needed after all. Personally speaking, I am not here for the entertainment value... I am here to hopefully provide emotional support to you, as well as what little I can spare to help with the dogs!! You deal with SO MUCH on a daily basis! It is no wonder that every now and then it's going to catch up with you in a big way. Please, please take care of yourself in whatever way you need to and we'll still be here!

God bless you and all over there!! Get better ! We are all praying for you!! Hope Tania is doing better 🙏🙏🙏 ❤️❤️❤️

You take care of yourself. You don't need to explain anything. Sending you ease and love. Crying is a great release. No judgement. I cry like a puppy, as needed, and it's such a relief.

sending strength and positive energy to you Tia ...Take care<3

AS ALWAYS...MY PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AND THE RESCUE🙏🙏🙏YOU CAN DO IT💫💥💞👍🐾🐾🐾

TIME TO "RE-LAUNCH🚀🤗🥰😃

YOU DID IT🤗🤗🤗ONE STEP AT A TIME☺️🥰💞WE HAVE ALL BEEN THERE😌

I’m just relieved to hear from you! Several of us VAs have been worried about you and your daughter. You’ve been in survival mode for so long and instead of processing things you stuff it down to put out the next fire. Unfortunately, that catches up to you. Until you process everything you’ve bottled up, this will continue. I’m speaking from experience, crying jags that I couldn’t identify one particular thing that set it off. Anyway, the good news is you still have supporters who are willing to help! So, hang in there, do what you’ve got to do to take care of you and take one step at a time! 💜

No worries Tia. You take care of yourself first. And get better

Take care of yourself!

You're finally back!

Tia, we’re all here because we care about both you, those close to you, and the critters you care for. Life doesn’t particularly give a rats backside if you want to be sideswiped onto your backside. I know there is so much pressure in you with the rescue but please take care of yourself! I can’t help but get a humorous visual in my head. If you keel over from stress in your house all alone with the hounds can you imagine the ruckus they’d make barking, howling, etc. if you weren’t there at 4 am? Someone would eventually hear the commotion and come to check. But you know no one probably would put up with Dixon like you. 😉

I had to take a break from paid membership myself for the last 2 months. Money has been tight. It is still tight but I made it work to start my patreon again this month..

I get it..

I was so happy to hear your voice today! I, like many others, have been worried about you! You are human and you needed a time out to heal so to speak. I believe your body slowed you down physically because you would not do it on your own! So welcome back and know that you are loved and supported by many!!

a lot of "pawsitive" vibes!

I just think you give so much of yourself taking care of our furry friends and that's most important. You've been blessed to be in the position to do a magnificent job and I do believe it's taking its toll on you. Honestly, if it's the social media aspect that's bothering you I wouldn't worry about it. Perhaps, delegate more, idk. Whatever you decide, best of wishes are being sent your way. I, myself, wish I could help more.

You just take care of you. We are here for you. Take your time and heal...go slow. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Please take care of you and your health. Please be kind to yourself.

I don’t feel like I’m owed an explanation. Do whatever you need to do to feel better. Take the time you need and then take baby steps to re-engage with social media. ❤️

When life needs you to deal with stuff you’ve been putting off, your body makes you deal with it. It’s natural to cry as well by the way it releases stress and energy your body can’t deal with. Start slowly to regroup with yourself and don’t beat yourself up. ❤️❤️

No apologies necessary! I'm glad you took time for yourself. I'm always sending well wishes, prayers and blowing smoke your way for you and all of VRC 💞 And I will ALWAYS support you all and your mission 💖🐕🐈🐺🧑‍🦱👨👩‍🦰💖

I have been wondering and worried about you. Please take care of yourself! Personally, I'd like to say that anyone who stops supporting you with donations just because you're in "incognito mode" is a Loser. We're supporting the doggies and kitties!!!! Podcasts or not, that should be our main priority. Love you Tia and all of Villalobos!

So good to hear from you,as you can see Im still hanging in here at Patreon,Your Right the Dogs should not suffer cuz of Media "stuff". Maybe *I* need to change My Platform to one of your others so I can get Live Feeds. Been since Feb and The great idiots that work here at Patreon only regurgitate the same ideas to fix it. I don't do TikTok,phone don't like it. I totally get your analogy about "School". It's like an addict saying "This is my Last Time" Hope you don't take that the wrong way. Sending Lots of Hippi energy your way. Take care of You,We Love You,Girl. Santa Cruz here.

remember tia ur only human ma wee pal❤️xx

Sending you LOTS of Love 💚🦋💙

I sympathize! You need to take care of yourself in order to take care of the rescue. Oxygen mask on yourself first before your seatmate! I have an autoimmune disorder that makes me exhausted as well as recovery from B. C., caring for my 7 cats and neighborhood ferals. Not the load you have but it all takes its toll. Take care of youself!!!

Take care of yourself! You were missed. Thanks for the update.🙏

It’s ok Tia We’re not upset we are just so happy that you are ok We were just worried We love you Tia Don’t be so hard on yourself take you time Sending positive energy

I'm very relieved to hear your voice again beginning to worry that's something had happened to a family member. Your patreon family have got your back and we're not going anywhere and you managed to build up your platforms before so I'm sure with our help and support you'll be able to build them up again. ❤️

I'm glad you're back Tia. Hope you feel better as the time goes on.

No apologies necessary!!! Take care of you and your true supporters will be here when you return!!!

So glad to hear your voice. Been praying for you, your family, the employees, the rescue in general, and supporters to keep supporting. You take care of yourself. Whatever that means to you.

Sounds like decades of suppression busting out. Pls known, some of us have gone thru something similar. Take it easy in recovery. We are here for you

Thank you Tia, for talking to us. I'm so relieved to hear from you!

💜

No apologies necessary! We have all been there, yours is just more noticeable due to social media. I don't know how you do it TBH, I would hate the scrutiny myself. Take care!!

Missed you hope you are feeling better soon

Menopause??

Please take care of yourself 1st! This sounds a bit like of social burnout! Good luck with maintaining peace with everything!!!!

It's ok Tia..your human..dont worry about it..you'll get back on track
