Our organisation
AAP has a staff of over 100 employees and more than 200 volunteers.
Most of them work in animal care, but we also have employees who focus on improving legislation in Europe, liaise with donors, manage the administration, or maintain the grounds and buildings. Everyone contributes to helping the animals!
Did you know that…
- AAP has two rescue centres: AAP Almere (the Netherlands) and AAP Spain?
- a number of co-workers have been working at AAP for a very long time and were even around when AAP was still at its first location in Amstelveen?
- many co-workers and volunteers come from abroad and therefore English is the main language at both rescue centres?
- AAP was set up in 1972 by Okko and Riga Reussien?
