PetLifeRadio.com - Pets In The City - New York City Pets & Animals... on Pet Life Radio. Pets in New York City are like no other pets in the world. Just like their people, city pets of all types have to grapple with cramped apartments (if they?re lucky enough to find a pet-friendly building) local politics, busy streets and dog-run drama. No hopping into the backseat or backyard for them! And those are just the pets that already have homes-pets waiting for adoption have to contend with life in overwhelmed city shelters or life on the streets. "Pets in the City" with New York Tails publisher and editor-in-chief Diane West will offer up a steady diet of the exciting lives, loves and laments of the people and pets in the world?s greatest city. Get ready for robust debates on city pet issues, interviews with unsung heroes, surprise urban wildlife reports, opinionated product reviews, and visits with celebrities (and celebrity pets!) "Pets in the City", like the city itself, has something for everyone. You?ll also get regular reports about the city?s hottest events, including fundraisers, festivals, and play dates.
