We want to THANK EVERYONE who contributed to Actors and Others in honor of Betty White's 100th birthday. We know Betty would be bowled over by the overwhelming response to help so many animals and organizations. We are still counting all of the wonderful donations, but estimate that we have raised about $25,000. We will use these funds to provide free spay/neuter surgeries with a special promotion. Betty has left as her legacy an enduring spirit of love, kindness and respect for the animals who share our homes and our hearts.

At Actors and Others for Animals we strongly believe that all of us have a responsibility to protect and care for the pets we take into our homes and hearts and to the discarded and unwanted animals who end up in shelters. Through the money we raise, our core work is to ensure that low and/or fixed income individuals are able to have their pets spayed and neutered to reduce birth rates and to enrich their quality of life.
It has been said that "great works are performed not by strength but by perseverance." During our long history, we have struggled, persevered and succeeded. We greet each day and every request for help, whether routine or trying, with total involvement and steadfast determination. One day at a time, one step at a time, Actors and Others has made a difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of animals and humans alike.
It all began in 1971 on one of Los Angeles' busy freeways. It was on such a freeway that the late actor Richard Basehart and his wife, Diana, watched in horror as someone in a car ahead of them nonchalantly tossed a dog out of the car window to a grisly death. Both Richard and Diana were animal lovers and very aware of the daily cruelties that so many animals endured.
It was in 1971 that Actors and Others began its commitment to caring for animals in need and shifting societal attitudes towards them. We recognized that pet overpopulation was rooted in a lack of education and availability of services resulting in unwanted animals being surrendered to City and County shelters or living on the streets causing public safety issues.
