Broadway Barks

Broadway Barks is an annual animal charity event held in New York City to promote the adoption of shelter animals. Many New York City Animal Shelters and Rescue Groups gather together with adoptable dogs and cats that have been rescued and given a second chance. This star-studded dog and cat adoption event takes place in July in Shubert Alley. Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore are the hosts and are joined by many Broadway stars and actors/actresses who present the adoptable pets to the audience during the celebrity show. The afternoon also includes an auction of celebrity-autographed memorabilia. Some of the celebrities that have participated in this event throughout the years are Anjelica Huston, Audra McDonald, Bebe Neuwirth, Ben Vereen, Brooke Shields, Christine Ebersole, Catherine Hickland, Carol Kane. David Hyde Pierce, Edie Falco, Glenn Close, George Hamilton, Heidi Blickenstaff, Jackie Hoffman, Joel Grey, Linda Hart, Mario Lopez, Mary Louise Parker, Nathan Lane, Richard Thomas, Sean Hayes, Sutton Foster, Shirley Jones, Tom Wopat, Victoria Clark and many more.

Loving Touch participates in this annual event. We hope you enjoy these slide shows of us along with our wonderful volunteers and rescued animals.

Doreen and Paul with Chico

Chico was surrendered to Animal Care and Control when his family moved.

Peter and Sophie

Sophie is a senior Beagle mix. She is now in a foster home with a long time friend. Her owner had to move suddenly to Spain to be with her dad, who is very sick. She could not take Sophie along.

Sophie

Sophie was a little nervous at first but everyone was so kind to her, especially after hearing her sad story.

Doreen and Paul

Here we are with Chico and Sophie

Ronnie and Chico

Ronnie is Chico's foster dad. Chico is in love with him. Chico was a little nervous at the event, especially when his foster dad wasn't close by.

Our volunteer Linda

Linda came along to help. She loved spending times with Chico and Sophie.

Serious Chico

Poor little Chico only wanted to be with his foster dad.

Sweet Sophie

Sophie, a 13-year-old Beagle mix, was so good throughout the day. Although so many people really loved her there were no possible homes available for her that day.

Doreen and Sophie

I just fell in love with Sophie and loved having her with us for the day. I first found out about Sophie when I saw an ad on Craigslist about her needing a home. I inquired immediately and offered to help find her a home. This seemed like a good way to get Sophie's story out.

Bernadette Peters

This wonderful lady is the founder of Broadway Barks and does so much for the animals. We are so grateful for her giving us the opportunity to be part of such an amazing event each year.

Peter and Sheri with Sophie

Our volunteers loved spending the day with our dogs.
