Carrie asked:
“Anyone in the community have experience (anonymously or otherwise) reporting animal neglect to services in DC? Would love some guidance.”
One reader suggested the Humane Rescue Alliance resource:
“Recognizing & Reporting Cruelty
Recognizing and reporting animal cruelty is easy once you know what to look for.
Physical signs:
Are there any open wounds on the animal?
Is the animal so skinny that you can easily see bones protruding?
Is the animal limping or having difficulty moving around?
Does the skin or coat look normal or are there patterns of hair loss or signs of lesions?
Is the coat matted or preventing the animal from moving around properly?
Is the animal acting lethargic or not getting up from the ground?
Environmental signs:
Does the animal have protection from the sun, rain, or snow?
Is the animal chained to an object in a manner that jeopardizes health and/or safety?
Is the animal kept in a crate that is too small for him or her to maintain normal body postures or confined for too long a period of time?
Is the animal forced to live in his or her own waste?
If you see any of these signs, please contact our Humane Law Enforcement Department immediately at 202-723-5730. Yours may be their only voice.”

Finding a gift for moms can be difficult. Google “Mother’s Day gifts,” and you’ll scroll through endless lists of beauty products, candles and fuzzy robes. Sure, those are sweet, but sometimes it’s fun to surprise loved ones with something a little more, well, practical!
Here’s one idea: Give her a gift certificate for a home cleaning from Well-Paid Maids. It’s the perfect “thank you,” “I love you” or “you’ve got this” for any mom. She can schedule the home cleaning at her convenience and breathe easy knowing she has one less thing to do.
Our cleaners will take care of everything, including vacuuming and mopping as well as cleaning and dusting countertops, tables, mirrors, appliances and more. Sinks, toilets, showers and appliance exteriors also get a good scrub.
