START SPREADING THE “MEWS”: CHECK OUT BROADWAY BARKS! THIS SATURDAY!

Broadway legends Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore will host the ninth annual Broadway Barks!, an event sponsored by the ASPCA that features stars of both animal shelters and the stage. Dozens of actors from current Broadway productions, including Tony Award-winners David Hyde Pierce and Angela Lansbury, will present adorable adoptable animals to the public. The dog and cat adopt-a-thon will be held Saturday, July 14, at Shubert Alley.

Broadway Barks 9!’s mission is to find permanent homes for shelter animals, and will provide important information on spaying/neutering, pet identification and the plight of homeless animals in the city. All proceeds and donations will benefit the shelters attending the event. So scoot over to Shubert Alley, see some stars, and maybe you’ll go home singing show tunes with a new little friend.

* Shubert Alley is located between 44th and 45th Streets, between Broadway and 8th Avenue.* Event is from 3:30 P.M. to 6:30 P.M. Celebrity presentations of pets begin at 5:30 P.M.
