I was adopted from Town Lake Animal Center, oh, about six or seven years ago by my human, Elizabeth Ivey. I have led a very good life and have even gone on to make it as an actor. Check out my page and watch a video made about me by Rich Restaino, my other human, and Elizabeth. They must love me something awful, and I like to please.
So, I just wanted to thank you guys for doing such a good, difficult and often thankless job of caring for the likes of me in my youth, and all of the other four-legged ones out there. I didn't so much like having my nuts cut off, but then there is a lot about you humans I don't understand. However, let it be known that I urge everybody that is looking for an animal companion to adopt, rather than buy or breed. It just makes no sense to pay some uppity bitch for an inbred shake-and-piss ball of fur when there are specimines like myself being offered up for free.
In conclusion, you may use any or all of my comments for your promotional purposes. My human, Rich, also would like to offer up his musical talents for any fundraising benefits in the future.
All the best,
Bailey

My little Midge came to me from TLAC via Blue Dog Rescue four years ago. I don't know what I'd do without her--she's my best furry friend. Here she is with Mingus, who came into my boyfriend's life from TLAC last summer.
My name is April and I was adopted by Debra from Town Lake Animal Center. TLAC named me Theryn, but since I am prettier than spring flowers, I wanted my name to be April.
