Rescue Ink

Long Island Vet Group teams up with Rescue Ink!

We are proud to work alongside Joe Panz, Big Ant, Johnny O, and everyone else at Rescue Ink.

Rescue Ink is a Long Island-based animal rights group.  The members describe themselves as "the army for the animals", and they live up to it!  They are a group of tattooed, heavily-muscled, motorcycle-riding animal lovers who have no problem cracking down on abusers if all types.  They rescue dogs, cats, and any other animal that they find in abusive situations ranging from household neglect to pit-fighting.

Their tireless efforts have led to the rescue of hundreds of animals in the New York metropolitan area.  Many would have died or been put down had their circumstances continued.  Take Rescue Ink's mascot, Rebel, for instance.  As taken from their website:

"Originally named “Ribbons” because of his tattered, shredded ears, this red-nosed pit bull was found as a stray in Kentucky after a suspected dog-fighting ring had been busted. The ligature marks on his legs and nose suggested he had been bound and used as a “bait dog” to train fighting dogs; his ears were severely infected and oozing pus. Hearing the pit bull’s tragic story, Joe spent 16 hours in the air on four-seater plane rides organized by Animal Rescue Flights to bring him to the Rescue Ink clubhouse, and a new life of hope. Despite the horrors he has endured at the hands of humans, Rebel is a shining example of the remarkable ability of animals to forgive and live in the moment. He is the official Rescue Ink mascot, his scarred face and muscle-bound body embodying the truism that you should never judge a book by its cover."

We at Island Vet Group will continue to support the work of Rescue Ink, and we hope you will do the same.  Visit their website today and pick up some Rescue Ink merchandise or leave a donation.  All revenues generated go to aid in the fight against animal abuse on our neighborhood streets.

Ride on, Rescue Ink!  Until the last animal is saved!
