The male pit bull that hails from the Villalobos Rescue Center in New Orleans,
also the location of Animal Planet’s show Pit Bulls and Parolees, has been featured on the television show.
He’s also making headlines recently for being chosen as the celebrity mascot of the New Orleans VooDoo arena football team.
His jersey number is K9, and he makes public appearances during the games and halftime shows.
Villalobos moved to Louisiana from California about a year ago and continues to film the popular show at its new location.
The staff cares for, adopts out and receives an astonishing number of dogs.
Rhino is just one of many pit bulls that have been helped by the rescue, and he looks quite happy to represent them.
