Other Programs

HELPLINE, REFERRAL SERVICE
Our staff counselors respond to over 5,000 requests each month. What we do is help people with their animal concerns. No matter how serious or slight the problem, every caller is given the time and reassurance needed.

FOOD DISTRIBUTION
To address the needs of animal guardians who at times find themselves struggling to make ends meet, Actors and Others distributes supplemental pet food donated by major pet food manufacturers. This program is subject to food availability and proof that all animals are spayed/neutered. The program is designed to give a “helping hand” and not as a source of everyday pet food

COMMITMENT TO COOPERATIVE ACTION
Always mindful that “it is not about us, but about protecting and caring for animals,” Actors and Others remains committed to cooperative action to end the tragedy of pet overpopulation and homelessness.

Joining forces with Los Angeles County, Actors and Others was primarily responsible for the elimination of the decompression chamber and introduction of humane euthanasia in California. As a founding and leading member of the Coalition to End Pet Overpopulation (CEPO), comprised of long-established humane organizations here in Los Angeles, Actors and Others was instrumental in the passage of revised city ordinances encouraging spay/neuter. We continue to work closely with city, county and state agencies as well as our CEPO associates to pass and enforce laws aimed at protecting our animal companions.
