About Rescue Ink

Rescue Ink Unleashed, on the National Geographic Channel

RESCUE INK is a rescue group unlike any you've seen before: a bunch of tattooed, motorcycle-riding tough guys who have joined together to fight animal cruelty, educate abusers and help resolve situations other rescue groups can't—or won't—handle themselves.

Their efforts are chronicled in the book Rescue Ink, written by former Newsday writer Denise Flaim. They also star in their own weekly series on the National Geographic Channel called Rescue Ink Unleashed.

For more information, see the Rescue Ink website and the Rescue Ink Unleashed site on the National Geographic channel.

First Annual Fancy Feast to benefit Home for Life®

A new Home for Life® event that combines past favorites, the First Annual Fancy Feast is a two-part extravaganza: 1) a motorcycle ride with special guests Rescue Ink and 2) a tasty brunch! Join us for one or both of these fun activities that take place on the same day! We think the ride and brunch events will combine seamlessly, because real men DO eat quiche, and EVERYBODY enjoys fine pastries.
