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 work on better legislation in Europe, talk to donors, keep the the administration in order or maintain the grounds and buildings. Everyone contributes to help the animals!

- 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 a lot of English is spoken at both shelters?
- AAP was set up in 1972 by Okko and Riga Reussien?
