Hi all! I was hoping someone could enlighten me on how the day goes at Broadway Barks. I have never been before and I read on the article Jean posted that the event is really from 3:30-6:30. Is there anything that goes on before this? My problem is I live in PA and my parents and I have a 50th birthday party to go to that same evening. I was hoping to squeeze in both, but leave early from Broadway Barks. Agh.....so complicated. Please give me your opinion. Thanks!

I've never been either so is it true that there are not any performances - just the actors raising money by speaking?

That is true, there are no performances; but it's still a very fun event if you love animals 
SunnyK, by leaving early you miss the presentations of the animals on stage; but you can still see some of the animals at the different tables by walking around early in the day.

I'm hoping to adopt a new fluffy kitty! If its a girl kitty, her name might be "Bernadette"! If its a boy, it might be "Broadway"!

No, it's not that simple. You can go to the event and meet the animals up for adoption and APPLY to adopt. But I don't think they just let you bring home an animal that day. Shelters like to have extensive interviews and make sure that you are the right person to adopt an animal. And I believe to adopt from the shelters involved, you have to live in the NY area. Maybe?

Actually, not all shelters have very long application processes. North Shore Animal League (which is based in Long Island) often brings animals to various Petcos in the city for same day adoption. That is how my roommates and I got our cats, we went to the Petco on the Upper East Side, picked them out, and took them home.

Yeah, some shelters do allow same day adoption, including the one I volunteer at. But I would think at an event like Broadway Barks, they wouldn't want to adopt pets out like that. For one, the place is filled with people and all sorts of stimuli - applicants wouldn't necessarily get to see the animal's true personality. And it can be hard sometimes to tell if someone will be a good pet owner from a first time meeting.
I think what I should have posted the first time was just don't get upset if you don't get an animal that day. Animals are serious, life long committments, and shelters just want to make sure that both pet and potential owner will be happy together.

Actually, I know people that have gone to Broadway Barks and taken home dogs that day. Fortunately those people are nice and loving pet owners, but I guess it means that some of the shelters there do allow same day adoptions.
I agree that it is not necessarily a good thing because you don't really know the animal's true personality, nor does the adoption agency know if you are a good pet owner; but they each go by a different set of rules I guess.

I actually emailed with a woman from Broadway Barks (her name escapes me right now) and she said that there would be animals for adoption that day and that I would be able to take home a kitten that day.
