Review for Actors & Others For Animals, North Hollywood, CA, USA
This wonderful organization was started way back in the early 70's as a result of a horrific incident on a Freeway in Los Angeles when actor Richard Basehart and his wife witnessed a dog being thrown out of a car window into the traffic. Then and there, they decided that something had to be done within the Hollywood community to ensure that this would never happen again and there would be a place for animal rescue, training, neutering, etc. I/we have been donors, volunteers, witnesses, and supporters of AOA for over 30 years. The staff and volunteers of Actors and Others have provided every service possible to the Los Angeles community and the surrounding areas with unquestionable dedication. They are the epitome of dedication for the welfare of our pets. Susan Taylor, Executive Director and Jo Anne Worley the existing President, with all staff, volunteers and wonderful Board Members continue the caring tradition of Actors and Others for Animals. I/we are so very proud to be a part of this organization. We are Mark Blonstein and Don Faircloth

I've personally experienced the results of this organization in...
Personal contact, interacting with the Board Members, Executive Director, President (present and past) on-hands experience, newsletters, interaction with employees and volunteers and resident pets. Witnessing the training and implementation of the pet companion program - so very meaningful and loving for our older citizens.
If I had to make changes to this organization, I would...
I/we would help them build a bigger and newer facility to house all the facilities, training and education that AOA offers to the Los Angeles area. The services and caring to the community for all pets are enumerable.
