BROADWAY
BARKS is
thrilled to return
to Shubert Alley on Saturday, July 12, 2025, for the 27th annual
star-studded dog and cat adoption event. Co-founded by Bernadette
Peters and Mary
Tyler Moore, the
event features adoptable animals from NYC area adoption
agencies and rescue groups along with Broadway’s biggest
names who use their star power to help them find loving
homes.
Produced by Broadway
Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, the
adoption event takes place in Shubert Alley (located
between 44th and 45th Streets, between Broadway and
Eighth Avenues). BARKS
begins at 3
p.m. with a ‘meet and greet’ of all the adoptable
pets; from 5-6:30
p.m. adoptees
make their Broadway debut on stage alongside some
of Broadway’s favorite stars for the celebrity
presentations.
Over the past
26 years, more than 2,500 dogs and cats have grabbed
Broadway’s spotlight and the hearts of all who come to
the event. Approximately 85% of these furry friends have
successfully found forever homes.
BROADWAY BARKS
is free and open to the public. Proceeds from the event
benefit the participating shelters and rescue groups.
