Review for Actors & Others For Animals, North Hollywood, CA, USA
In May 2019, we found out that our golden retriever “Argentina” needed an urgent and very complicated surgery that involved splenectomy and pyometra procedures. That was at a cost of about $5,000, which we didn’t have. We contacted Actors and Others for help and they responded immediately. They called me and gave me a couple of numbers of other vets that could do the surgery at a lower price. We told them we only had $2,500, which were all our savings to pay for the surgery that could save our dog’s life. Beverly (from Actors and Others) asked me to give her a call with any news I had after contacting the other vets. I contacted a vet two hours away from where we live and they were able to perform the surgery (at a much reasonable amount). My dog had been misdiagnosed, she had a cyst in the ovary that was the size of a cantaloupe. Now our dog is totally recovered, she’s very energetic and happy. Actors and Others helped us to pay part of the bill so we didn’t have to use all our savings in the surgery. They were very kind and empathetic. Beverly called me almost every day to see how my dog was doing, even weeks after the surgery! We are very grateful with the financial help from Actors and Others, but mainly with the human and caring way they showed their concern for our dog’s well-being. We also want to extend our thanks to all the donors that contribute for this great cause, helping families to save their beloved pets. And thanks again Actors and Others for all your support!!!
