New Pet Magazine Coming to NYC!

Hey dog lovers!

Sorry I've been away for so long. As you know, life can take some twists and turns when you least expect it and my life is twisting and turning!

Well, I recently found out some great news and I just had to share it with you.

A pet magazine called City Tails is going to debut in New York City in December! I'm excited about this news because I was so disappointed after a very popular pet magazine ceased operations several months ago. Where was I going to get my regular dose of doggie fashion, entertainment and animal welfare news? It looks like City Tails is ready to give New Yorkers something to read and talk about!

Here's more information about the City Tails launch:

Janice Brown, founder of the Tails Pet Media Group, Inc., a Chicago-based publisher of local area pet magazines dedicated to animal rescue and adoption, announced the launching of City Tails.

Debuting in December, the magazine will offer practical, interesting, and entertaining local and national pet news and related features. It will also provide complete and up-to-date shelter listings, breed-rescue organization information, and emergency contacts. “New York City is one of the country’s best metropolitan areas for pets—it has a very active and passionate pet community—an ideal audience for our magazine,” said Ms. Brown. The Tails Pet Media Group, Inc. publishes award-winning magazines in 14 markets nationwide, with more on the way.

The American Humane Society estimates that six to eight million dogs and cats are euthanized in animal shelters annually across the US, costing local governments an estimated two billion dollars and according to the most recent available data, more than 40,000 animals were euthanized in New York City in 2005.

"We want to make people aware of the fact that they can adopt healthy and playful animals—even purebreds—and save that animal’s life," said Lorraine Sakli, City Tails Regional Publisher. "I consider this a great opportunity to bring valuable information and insight to pet guardians, and look forward to the challenge of building this magazine and making it available to everyone who has a pet they cherish."

City Tails will be distributed each month in street boxes strategically placed throughout NYC, as well as at pet product retailers, veterinarian offices, grocery stores, book stores, coffee houses, and many other mainstream and pet-friendly locations on a free basis. Content and resources will also be available online at www.CityTails.org.

Hi there!

Sorry I've been away from the Rex in tha City blog. I took a much needed vacation to Mystic, CT and it was lovely. I highly recommend our fave B&B, The Inn at Harbor Hill Marina. The innkeepers Sue & Dave Labrie are wonderful people and their cute little inn sits right on the water. Doggone it! I'm back to reality!

Which brings me to this e-mail I received today from my pal Rece, organizer of the upcoming Canine Cruise, she's definitely got her paw on the pulse of the dog world. Please read the following and help out a worthy cause....


Hey Pooch Pals,

In the world of New Media (that's the world wide web), advertisers want you to see the products and services they have to offer. They pay out to web site companies based on the number of views which are measured by the click of YOUR mouse.

We can make a difference!!

Please click on over to The Animal Rescue Site and then click on the purple button that looks like this:



(make sure you click the purple button located on the web page!)


This doesn't cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number of daily visits to donate food to abandoned/neglected animals in exchange for advertising.

Who knows? You might even find products that interest you! Choosing to linger and peruse is up to you... but let us at least give up 20 seconds and 2 clicks to make a difference!

2 clicks and you've done your good deed for the day! 20 seconds per day and you're filling the pantry of canines less fortunate than yours!

READY? GO...I'm ready to make a difference with 2 clicks & 20 seconds!!

pass it on...

Regards & Wags,
Rece & Maximus
