I volunteered with them when I lived in California. Even though I no longer live there, I still recommend them to my friends in Santa Monica.

This is a great group. Whenever I hear about orphaned wildlife, I always refer them to Animal Advocates. They even helped me with some baby rats and pigeons which most groups did not want to take. Thanks!

Just saw the tweet on Twitter. I will gladly write a review! I have been calling Mary Cummins of Animal Advocates to come and rescue wildlife that I've found for years. She always drives right over to pick up the animals. I give a donation every time. Everyone should donate to this amazing group of people. They really make a difference. Five stars, highest rating in each category.

I met Mary Cummins few years ago in Belize at a wildlife sanctuary. While she was in Belize she helped a coati and a few other animals. I recommend her group highly and follow them on Facebook

I met Mary Cummins in Belize at a wildlife preserve. She rescued an injured coatimundi with only her shirt and hiked it many miles to the ranger station early in the morning. Sad to say the coati didn't survive but we were very thankful that she tried to save it. Please, donate to this deserving group of people.

Mary Cummins is the most amazing person I have ever met in my entire life. She is a true animal lover. She went down a deep shaft to pick up an injured baby skunk. I highly recommend this group.

Animal Advocates in Los Angeles, California, and Director Mary Cummins offered reasonable, actionable recommendations that led to the successful resolution of a complex situaiton involving rabid bats affecting about 100 homes. Mary Cummins was always professional, consensus building, and supportive of finding the best possible outcome for the bats, the public, and the government. With her help, the public health and the welfare of the local bat population were preserved.
I would highly recommend Mary Cummins as an expert in wild animal rescue, urban-wildlife interface issues, and public information on animal issues. She also proved to very knowledgeable on animal shelter management.
The Great!

How did you find this group?
Worked may way through a list of referrals. Other rehabbers may have been more vocal or conspicuous in the bat world, but they were not as helpful or familiar with local government operating procedures, and in some cases agitated the public to be uncooperative.
What, if any, change in your life has this group encouraged?
renewed my faith that there are still good people out there willing to contribute dispite adversity.
They have helped me with cats and dogs that I've found on the street. I am very grateful.

A skunk entered my house through the cat door and proceeded rummage through my kitchen cabinets. I quickly googled skunk rescue and found Mary Cumings. She came over to my house, grabbed the skunk by hand and removed it from my house. No spray! I was very grateful.

Mary Cummins picked up an injured baby squirrel from my home recently. The little baby instantly curled up and fell asleep in her hand. I could tell she was very experienced with animals and really cared.
