BROADWAY BARKS 9! —A SMASH HIT!

The dogs and cats of New York took center stage on Saturday, at Broadway Barks 9!, an adopt-a-thon hosted by Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore. Dozens of Broadway stars presented the adoptable animals from 24 shelters around the city—and every one of them insisted theirs was the best!


ASPCA Officer Annemarie Lucas, of “Animal Precinct” presents Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore with the ASPCA’s $50,000 check, drawing big cheers from the crowd!

With help from the cast of new musical “Xanadu,” who presented the ASPCA’s animals to the crowd, 15 of our animals were adopted at the event—9 cats and 6 dogs!


This pup was the A’s first adoption of the day!

The crowd consisted of Broadway fans and animal lovers. When one actor presented a dog who had to leave his home after eight years because of an allergic new baby, there were shouts from the audience such as “But the dog was there first! Why was he the one to go?” We assume they were joking…or, maybe, uh, half joking!

We thank the hundreds of people who endured the hot weather and came to show the animals some lovin’. Our puppies played so hard that by the end of the event, they were fast asleep! To view more photos from the event, click here.
