Peters will guest on "Live with Regis and Kelly" July 10; the "CW11 Morning News" July 13; and the "Weekend Today" show July 14; the latter will also feature an appearance by Mary Tyler Moore. Peters will be accompanied on each of her talk-show visits by animals from New York City shelters, who are all available for adoption.

Mary Tyler Moore will also appear on the July 11 broadcast of ABC-TV's "The View."

Co-hosted by Tony winner Peters and Emmy winner Moore, the dog and cat adopt-a-thon benefits New York City animal shelters and adoption agencies.

The celebrity presentations will begin at 5:30 PM, although the event kicks off in Shubert Alley at 3:30 PM.
