“Dear PoPville,
Feels like a long shot but figured I’d give it a chance: I was heading to work around 10 am on Wednesday when I saw you biking up to the Au Bon Pain at 13th and G St in an unbuttoned white linen shirt. Honestly, I stopped in my tracks and decided to go into ABP for a pastry and to hopefully chat with you, (more…)

Are you looking for a dog that goes with the flow and never meets a stranger? Penny is your girl! This sweetie is the friendliest, silliest, and happiest hound you’ll ever meet. She meets everyone with a wiggle and a cuddle and is always happy. Penny loves to zoom around the yard and play with her foster family’s puppy, or exercise her hound nose on walks, but she spends most of the day snoozing in any comfy spot she finds around the house.

Qwerty is a sweet and calm girl who adores her humans. She loves to sleep on top of her foster mom or next to her head. She likes other cats and enjoys playing with both them and toys. Apply for Qwerty today!

“Dear PoPville,
On Monday, May 15th, 2023 at approximately 7:30 am, my four and a half-month old puppy was attacked by another dog in Swampdoodle Park in NoMa. The dog entered the park with its owner and bolted straight for my dog, jumping him, and viciously attacking him. Luckily, my dog was at my feet, and with the help of an unidentified good samaritan, they pulled the dog off of mine, stopping the attack. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
I noticed yesterday that DPR put up signs at the Marie Reed tennis courts prohibiting pickleball. There’s definitely been an uptick in pickleball play at the courts recently, so I guess the tennis players are pushing back. Naturally, when I took this photo there was a dog owner and its dog playing fetch inside the court.”
