In a metropolitan area with more than 20 million residents, thousands of animals — dogs, cats, and even chickens and piranhas — are neglected, abused, hoarded or housed illegally. A few years ago, eight tough guys from the mean streets, who frequented hot rod shows and tattoo parlors, discovered their strongest bond was actually a passion for animals — and they formed a rescue organization like no other. Some have violent and turbulent pasts, complete with run-ins with the law, but all are seeking redemption and solace in their mission to save animals from human abuse.
This new weekly series that documents this unlikely group of animal activists on their crusade to save helpless, abandoned and abused animals. The eclectic band of brothers — composed of club bouncers, security guards and even a retired New York Police Department (NYPD) detective — is on call 24/7 to take on cases no one else will. They’re not cops, animal experts or even animal control. They’re just big guys with even bigger hearts and a desire to save animals from deplorable living conditions and abusive or simply misguided owners.
Rescue Ink Unleashed premieres on National Geographic tonight at 10p and these 8 tough guys will capture your hearts with what they do! These 8 guys help the helpless, animals. They rescue them from bad and difficult situations or they work with the owners to teach them how to take care of their animals. In tonight’s episode they help a guy, who is hospitalized after being brutally beaten up, and he can’t go home to feed his 3 pitbulls, so they are called him to find a temporary home for them while their owner recovers. They also have to help capture several chickens that have taken residence in an area where they are unwanted, and the chickens actually give them a run for their money. The last case is the toughest, some a$$hole is shooting feral cats with a pellet gun that have been peeing in his backyard. The guys go in to help him and even though he welcomed their help, the f*cker calls the cops on them. Even though he did that, they vow if they get any more calls about him shooting the cats they will be back to talk to him again. Hopefully the sh!t learned his lesson and didn’t shoot anymore cats. Next week’s episode is about two different dog calls and piranhas. And as tough as the dog stories start out to be, they have happy endings! That is what makes Rescue Ink Unleashed so awesome, even though what these 8 guys start out with is a horrible situation for the most part they turn things around! So make sure to check out this show tonight and every Friday at 10p for a show that will really warm your heart!!!
