The concept is a riff (or a ruff?) on Broadway Barks, an annual star-studded dog and cat adoption event founded by Mary Tyler Moore and Bernadette Peters and benefiting New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies.

Elaine Paige and Bernadette Peters will host the first ever in-person West End Woofs (and Meows) on Saturday 18 November from 10.00am – 12.30pm at St Paul’s Church, Covent Garden.

The dog and cat adoption event will see a ‘meet and greet’ with a variety of adoptable pets – followed by a special performance of “Old Friends” by the company of Stephen Sondheim’s Old Friends.

All proceeds from the event will benefit the following charities:

  • Helping Dogs and Cats UK
  • Pro Dogs Direct
  • Home Run Hounds
  • Saving Saints Rescue
  • Noah’s Ark Dog Rescue
  • German Shepherd Rescue South
  • All Dogs Matter
