My favorite tattooed, motorcycle riding, animal-rescuing group of guys are getting their own reality television show. Rescue Ink “Unleashed” will premiere on the National Geographic Channel on September 25th.
I first heard of and wrote about Rescue Ink back in January this year and they have been on my radar ever since. Rescue Ink are reformed “bad guys” who love animals and have dedicated their lives to rescuing them from abuse. They also take the time to educate bad pet owners, no matter what it takes.

Last year the NY Times wrote an article (a really great read and I highly recommend viewing the slideshow that accompanies the article) about them and caught the eye of National Geographic, who approached them to chronicle their animal saving adventures.

I am jazzed to see them get the recognition they deserve. You can’t deny that the juxtaposition of scary looking dudes saving cute lil fuzzies, while “educating” the rotten, neglectful pet owners isn’t a great cocktail for good tv!
Coming to an abuser near you!
