* DirtyCop: A lot of the law enforcement Tia and the others have to deal with in California are portrayed in this light, to the point that she is immediately wary and untrusting of any law enforcement personnel she comes into contact with. New Orleans seems to be averting this trope, and Tia is subsequently having to learn to trust police again.

!Contains Examples Of:

* TheAtoner: Many, if not most, of the parolees.
* BigFriendlyDog: Most of the pit bulls, though there are a few former fighting dogs who are "lifers" who are too dangerous to adopt out.
* ButNowIMustGo: There have been several times when a parolee has decided to leave and move on, and it's usually bittersweet for Tia. Cameron was one parolee who decided to leave once he finally graduated from high school. [[spoiler:He came back after his plans fell through, and Tia welcomed him back with open arms]].
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: One way to tell the passage of time is to look at what color Mariah's hair currently is, since it's been blonde, black, black with blond streaks and red.
* {{Nakama}}: The entire crew.
* MeaningfulName: Villalobos means "House of the Wolves" and it was wolf sanctuary before being turned into a pit bull rescue.
* MrMuffykins: Tania's dog Wedgie, a French Bulldog, described by Tia as the most annoying little dog in L.A., and was at one point used as a test for a dog going to a home with several small dogs.
* RedHeadedHero: Tia
* ScaryBlackMan: Several parolees have seemed to be this, but most turn out to be big softies.
* ShareTheMalePain: When the parolees watch a dog get neutered their eyes bug out.
* SingleMindedTwins: Tia's adopted twins Kanani and Keli'i often act like this.
* WhatTheHellTownspeople: The people in the town where they wanted to build their new rescue, who did everything in their power to stop construction. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, they succeeded]].
