Actors and Others for Animals opened its doors in 1971 and utilized the celebrity status of those early members to draw vital media attention on the plight of animals and influence needed change.
Thanks to the celebrity status of the Baseharts and other founding members, including Doris Day, Jackie Joseph and Lucie Arnaz, Actors and Others is proud that throughout its history it has received the general support of celebrities from the entertainment world. No celebrity has ever been paid to appear for us. We are grateful to all individuals in all walks of life who have used the strength of their star power or media influence to educate, inform and enlighten thousands and thousands of people about animals in crisis. Our heartfelt thanks go out to these very special individuals. We are profoundly grateful for their commitment and goodwill towards animals that would otherwise be forgotten.
Actors and Others is NOT a celebrity-funded organization, nor does Actors and Others only serve individuals in the entertainment industry. We serve low income pet guardians in times of hardship and need. We provide low-cost veterinary referrals, which should not be construed as an endorsement of any kind. We do not endorse, recommend or promote any one veterinarian over another. The ultimate decision and agreement to retain the services of the veterinarian we refer you to is your sole responsibility as the animal guardian.
