Riggs is the happiest and friendliest two year old pup! Since arriving in DC, he has showed no fear and loves to explore outside. Even though he’s pretty small, he has a big personality and is super confident. He’s friendly to all, but sometimes might get too excited and play a little too intensely for some dog friends. He’d be a great partner for an active person who likes hiking or running, and for someone with an existing dog! Apply to meet Riggs today!

Hannah might give you a sweet tooth because she is just sweeter than sugar! This young kitty with thick tiger-striped fur and adorable little paws will steal your heart. Hannah is a playful kitty who enjoys chasing rattle balls, jumping after wand toys, and batting around balls in circle towers. In the afternoons, Hannah likes to curl up near her humans for comfy naps and head scratches. What a cutie pie! At night, she likes to sleep at the foot of the bed, and she is very respectful about not waking up her humans in the morning. What a purrrfect cat! Hannah gets along well with her feline foster brother too. She is friendly with people and is desperate to find her forever home. You know your window is missing a cat! Apply today to meet Hannah!!


“Dear PoPville,

The last week of May, the co-op next to our co-op experienced a major malfunction of their HVAC system. Their response was to have a crane deliver a temporary HVAC unit the size of a school bus and a gasoline powered generator the size of a box truck.

The way the buildings are arranged, the neighbors’ mixed use (residential

Both of these machines were parked on the very edge of the parking lot, as close to our building as possible.

The generator was removed after four or five weeks. The HVAC machine remains (it has been seven weeks so far) and os possibly going to be here through October.

The HVAC machine sounds like a cross between a jet engine ready for take-off, the train-crossing alarm, a tornado warning siren, a glass harmonica, and someone sanding floors. This sound goes on around the clock. The sound is LOUD. The sound is both deep AND high pitched, so it both shakes our walls and floor AND penetrates through the glass and a variety of types of earplugs.
