Spotlight on – Rescue Ink

May 27, 2009
 
 
 
 

Rescue Ink™ is a nonprofit animal-welfare group that works out of a no-kill rescue center on Long Island.

 

This group of tough appearing animal lovers (with names like Johnny O, Batso, Des the Cat Man and Big Ant) formed Rescue Ink because they understood that the problem of animal abuse and neglect has grown beyond the resources of the existing animal welfare agencies. With tattoo-covered bodies and an “in-your-face” style, Rescue Ink is all about zero tolerance when it comes to animal abuse and neglect.

The Long Island based group has been recognized nationally for their hard work and dedication with coverage by News 12 Long Island , USA Today, Newsday, The New York Times, Fox Business News, and much more. Members have appeared on national TV shows including The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, and the Ellen DeGeneres show.

Rescue Ink runs a variety of programs including the Puppy Mill Consumer Awareness Program, Companion Outreach Services, Feral Cat Trap Neuter and Release (TNR), Animal Advocates and much more
