Metairie, LA -- As part of the festivities for the New Orleans Zephyrs' annual Bark In The Park, the Villalobos Rescue Center of Animal Planet's "Pit Bulls and Parolees" will be on hand to film an episode of the hit series when the Zephyrs face the Omaha Storm Chasers on Sunday, April 12.

Personalities scheduled to appear include Mariah and Tania, who will be bringing dogs featured on the show that are up for adoption.

50% of each ticket sold for Bark In The Park will be donated to the Villalobos Rescue Center to help fund repairs for ongoing flooding problems.

The first 1,000 fans in attendance at Bark In The Park will receive a Frisbee courtesy of Raising Cane's. All fans are encouraged to bring their pets for an afternoon at the ballpark, which will include a pregame dog parade on the field and pet-themed vendors on the concourse. First pitch is scheduled for 1 p.m.
