Being an active part of the animal rescue community is its own reward, but it is always such an honor when major animal advocates choose to recognize and amplify the work being done by Amelia Air! So our whole team was understandably thrilled when Broadway legend and ultra-animal activist Bernadette Peters invited our co-founder Petra Janney and her superstar aunt Allison to participate in this year's Broadway Barks to celebrate Amelia Air!

During the virtual interview, Bernadette highlighted Allison's lifelong history of animal rescue and advocacy (including her prior appearance at Broadway Barks 2009!) and focused on the details of the work being done by Petra and the whole team at Amelia Air. The program also included a beautiful four-minute montage video of recent Amelia Air animal rescue footage. You can watch the full interview below or on YouTube, and you can read more about Broadway Barks, the amazing Mary Tyler Moore Award, and Bernadette’s kind words about Amelia Air in People Magazine!

Amelia Air is so grateful to Bernadette Peters for helping to amplify our cause and for recognizing our team’s efforts to save the lives of innocent animals. Thank you Bernadette and Broadway Barks for shining your incredible spotlight on our mission, and on rescue pets everywhere!
