Chance TV and CEO Alycia Kaback “THIS AIN’T YOUR MOTHER’S RESCUE GROUP”

You’ve never met a rescue group like Rescue Ink™ – an army of tattooed, motorcycle-riding street guys who have zero tolerance for animal abuse and neglect. We think abusers are losers, and we have no problem “educating” them about the error of their ways. Hey, we’re no angels, and we’ve made plenty of mistakes in our lives, but we’ve been given a second chance. And we think neglected and abused animals deserve one, too. We continue to need your financial support to enforce the organization’s mission and hope you will do so by purchasing Rescue Ink™ merchandise, donating and/or attend Rescue Ink™ Events.

Joe Panz

Joe Panz grew up in a Queens neighborhood notorious for wise guys, where taking care of business is a way of life, and you are only as good as your word. He brings that premium on honor and loyalty – as well as some really high decibels – to every rescue. When Joe’s not bailing out pit bulls or catching feral cats, he’s working out at the gym, cruising on his Harley or hanging out with his tiger-striped pit mix, Bond.

Big Ant

Big Ant loves to ride his Harley as well as customizing anything that goes, and it usually goes fast. His motto is “Try to make it, or if you buy it, make it better,” like his 1950 cherry-red Buick or 1966 Nova drag car. Big Ant’s house is bursting at the seams with rescues, from rabbits to cats to Butchie, a pit-bull puppy saved from a used-car lot. And while he’s quick to kid around, watch the fuse: Big Ant can go from teddy bear to wrath of God faster than you can say “braciole.”

Johnny 0

With his “Clark Kent” glasses and ski cap, Johnny O’s look is best described as “coffeehouse biker.” A former personal bodyguard, he loves the martial arts, reflected in his tattoos of symbolic Chinese animals, from a fiery dragon to a contemplative crane. Like all the guys, Johnny O is a pit-bull advocate – he owns two, look-alikes named Lucy and Chuck – and he educates about their undeservedly bad rap every chance he gets.

About Chance Von Spiessbach

Chance von Spiessbach was born in New Jersey but fortunately “escaped” (as he put it ) in 2001 to N.Y. Upon seeing Wall Street with Charlie Sheen he realized he wanted to be an actor and a financier. After receiving two degrees in finance at Boston U., beeing recognized in Who’s Who in Finance and working in Hong Kong, France and Holland doing investment banking he returned to the states for the next logical step – become an underwear model for Calvin Klein. He also volunteered teaching special needs kids Tae Kwon Do and studying at Stella Adler where he learned how to, “overact and say his lines way too loudly”. He concedes this lead to a role on CSI NY, a slew of commercials and appearances on shows ranging from Tyra Banks to Gossip Girl.
