PetLifeRadio.com - Episode 4 Homeless In the Hamptons and Doggies Who Brunch

Pets In The City - New York City Pets & Animals - Pets & Animals on Pet Life Radio (PetLifeRadio.com)

Weekend getaway season is in full swing in the city, and the Hamptons has been a favorite among city folk for a long time. By train (Long Island Rail Road), by plane (if you’re uber-rich) or highway (rental cars or the Hampton Jitney motorcoach) New Yorkers from every walk of life flock to the sandy shores seeking a break on the breakers. But even here homeless animals abound, from huge feral cat colonies drawn by the scent of fresh fish on the bustling boat docks to “vacation pets” left behind when the summer share is over. We’ll talk with Michele Forrester, director of the Animal Rescue Fund of the Hamptons (http://www.arfhamptons.org) about this oft-hidden population of homeless pets in one of the richest resort areas of the country and how ARF and other organizations are trying to help. Then, Pets In The City has weekend brunch with The NYC East Side Small Dog People Group (http://smallbreeddogs.meetup.com/85/) at a great outdoor café and gets some cool tips for dining with dogs. Finally, we’re going to ask our listeners to help us in what we think may be the first-of-its-kind radio experiment. If you’re dreading your dog’s nervous breakdown when the fireworks go off on the 4th, this is a must-download episode.
