Twenty-five shelters from across New York City, gathered in an effort to find good homes for abandoned dogs and cats. Happily, over three dozen animals were adopted in just one afternoon as thousands of theatre-goers walked away with information about pet neutering and the benefits of shelter adoption. . Best of all, over $70,000 from the auction and sale of a variety of signed memorabilia was raised that will be divided as grants to the participating shelters.
