Phyllis Sullivan, Vice President

For over 30 years, she has been the Volunteer Coordinator for the Los Angeles County Downey animal shelter, and has been granted the "Volunteer of the Year" award twice. Other awards and certificates received for her generous service include the City of Whittier Outstanding Volunteer Award, Pet Visitation Award from the Brykirk Extended Care Home, City of Irvine Animal Care Center Recognition in the Third Chance Program, and the 20-Year Recognition Award from the County of Los Angeles.

Phyllis has especially focused on empowering other volunteers. She established the first designated area to develop and maintain a grooming program for animals at the Downey shelter. This grooming program was later expanded to the Carson shelter and has enabled more animals to be adopted from both shelters.

Phyllis Sullivan has served on the L.A. County Animal Care Foundation Board since its creation in 1983. She wholeheartedly believes in the need for spay/neuter programs and education regarding responsible pet ownership.

She has a daughter, two grandchildren, two great-grandsons, and shares her home with a Shepherd-mix dog and two adopted cats.
