Plot Synopsis

Rescue Ink is a group of tattooed tough guys from New York who frequented hot rod shows and tattoo parlors, but they discovered their common passion for animals and formed a rescue organization. They're not cops, animal experts or even animal control. They just love and want to protect animals. Now this group takes an average of 100 calls per week at its Long Island headquarters and has formed relationships with no-kill shelters, NYPD, Animal Care & Control as well as various experts and veterinarians. "Rescue Ink Unleashed" follows these men as they confront alleged animal abusers, rescue fighting dogs, investigate stolen animals and (firmly) encourage owners to give up their pets if it is in the best interest of the animals. These animal advocates are: Angel, a retired NYPD detective called the "Pet Investigator"; Batso, the spiritual father of the group; Big Ant, who always provides a good laugh; Des, who is also known as "The Cat Man"; Eric, the persuasive one with the big voice; George ("G"), who uses tough-love tactics to train pets (and his son); Joe Panz, who finds animal rescue his most productive outlet; Johnny O, a former bodyguard, mixed martial arts fighter and personal trainer.
