About Living Greenwich’s Pet of the Moment Feature

In our Pet of the Moment feature on Living Greenwich, we take time to celebrate one of the non-human residents of our community. Whether they’re dogs, cats, birds, or exotic pets of all kinds; these are the other cherished members of our families. They provide friendship. They entertain us. They improve our moods. They keep us smiling. And they’re also just so gosh-darn cute that we believe it’s time for the rest of Greenwich to be introduced to them, as well!

To have your pet considered for our Living Greenwich Pet of the Moment feature, send at least 3 large photos and 4 or 5 important details about what makes them special (think: name, age, breed, favorite things, personality traits, amusing anecdotes, and more) to: patti@livinggreenwich.com.
