Broadway Barks returns to Shubert Alley on Saturday, July 8, 2023, for the 25th annual star-studded dog and cat adoption event. Co-founded by Bernadette Peters and the late Mary Tyler Moore, this annual star-studded dog and cat adoption event is produced by Broadway Cares/Equity Fights Aids.  As part of the milestone anniversary, the legendary Bernadette Peters will host the event with satirist and animal lover Randy Rainbow and with a special appearance by Josh Groban.  Dozens of celebrity participants are lending their support.

The event features adoptable animals from 24 NYC-area adoption agencies and rescue groups, along with Broadway’s biggest names who use their star power to help them find loving homes. To date, thousands of furry companions have found their forever homes through this marvelous annual event.
