“Dear PoPville,
Acknowledging you’re a DC- focused entity, BUT I wanted to email a little plea to our local neighbors to consider fostering animals from Prince George’s County. Currently, the county still has a breed ban which means that any dog labeled pit bull can only be adopted or fostered by residents outside the county. Currently pittie advocacy group End PG BSL is hard at work to end the breed ban and improve shelter conditions, and we are hoping for the best for our loyal companions. But until then, like so many shelters, the county shelter is suffering from overcrowding, and is therefore euthanizing all owner-surrenders on intake, and has taken actions such as euthanizing all sick dogs before local partner rescues were able to pull any out. Every other day rescues are getting lists of dogs on the urgent list which are only being given 24-48 hours to find a new home.
Many local rescues are working tirelessly to pull these dogs out of the Prince George’s County shelter, which only has space for 175 dogs in a county of over 1 million. But we can’t do it without more homes outside the county. If you’re interested in becoming a foster, please consider reaching out to Laila’s Rescue, AAHA, or Lucky Dogs or your favorite local rescue to see if they can and will pull dogs from the shelter. While pitties are the highest euthanized at the shelter due to the ban, there are a wide array of highly adoptable dogs right now – like Dawson below, a Siberian Husky.”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
