Review for Actors & Others For Animals, North Hollywood, CA, USA
My dog had gotten out of the yard a few months back but when I got home she was waiting for me in the front yard so even though she got out, I didn’t think much of it. So has the days went by I notice her getting fat but again didn’t think to much into it until one day I come home from work around 11pm to see her in her bed with a little puppy. This whole time she was pregnant. I stayed up with Ariel, my dog, till 3AM waiting for another puppy but nothing came. At this point I was worried so I found a 24 hour clinic that answered and told me that at my dogs age it’s not to uncommon to only have one to two puppies but i’ve Seen her give birth and every time she had like 7 puppies. The vet told to Waite a few more hours and if nothing bring her in. At 6AM I went to this clinic and they took her in and to be honest don’t know what they did but before anything hit me with a bill of about 500 dollars and said to me that this was just to see if something was wrong and at that moment I was like and if she needs surgery? They said it would be in the thousands. My heart feel cuz I have my dog, her puppy and no thousands to pay. I asked if they would work out a payment plan but said sorry they would need money up front. Then they said that there’s a clinic a town away that would possibly be better for me if money was the issue. I still ended up paying this place 100 dollars just for the visit that ticked me off since they did nothing but kick me out. I then went to this other clinic in where I waited outside till 10am when the vets got there and at this point I was so scared for my dog cuz I could see she was in pain. The clinic finally saw me but they said pretty much the same thing but they did help me with one thing. They got me in touch with Actors and Others for Animals, at first I was here filling out different applications online and leaving voice mails on different organizations pleading for help but within an hour a rep from Actors and Others for Animals gave me a call and told me they would help. After that one phone call, that clinic took my dog and fixed her right up. I owe Ariel’s life to Actors and Others for Animals and truly thank God that you guys do what you guys do. Thank you from me and my family who are all happy that Ariel is still with us and alive.
