Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters hosted the 12th annual BROADWAY BARKS!, a star-studded dog and cat adopt-a-thon benefiting New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies on Saturday, July 10. The event, produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS was sponsored by the ASPCA® (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals®) and Pedigree® Food for Dogs with additional sponsorship by the New York Times. BroadwayWorld was on hand for the preview events. See below for coverage of Bernadette Peters and pooch 'Goldie.'
Marking the 12th Anniversary of the organization, BROADWAY BARKS! once again helped many of New York City's shelter animals find permanent homes by informing New Yorkers about the plight of the thousands of "homeless" dogs and cats in the metropolitan area.
