From a reader:
“This little one was loose on Columbia and Ontario rd nw around 6pm. Was picked up by humane society at 7pm at Adam’s mill rd nw and Kenyon Only has the green rabies(?) tag and a thick collar. Looks like a chocolate lab maybe part pit bull puppy and was friendly but very scared.”
“Her name is Gracie, she has blue eyes, is very docile and very small (approx 9 pounds), a little deaf and slow.
Disappeared from the 700th block of Morton Street, NW last night, through the back alley between Morton St rowhouses and the Alsco linen cleaning facility on Lamont St. NW. Cross streets: Lamont St. NW, Sherman Avenue NW, Georgia Avenue NW, Park Rd NW.
If found please call 202-905-9242 or 202-607-9315.

“Dear PoPville,
A friend of mine in the building we live noticed a white bunny behind our building earlier this week, usually wouldn’t think anything of it, but we’ve seen it now almost a half dozen times (picture attached). Additionally we aren’t close to any “big” green space, except Meridian Hill Park and even then, I’ve rarely if ever seen a bunny there.
Anyway, someone has set up a makeshift box/home for it behind our building on the minimal grass we have. I figured I would send it your way to see if anyone was missing a bunny. I really don’t think it’s a wild bunny as it’s shown up so much. If we don’t find the owner I’ll notify the Humane Society if the bunny shows again.”

“I was walking to my car this morning in the alley behind Quincy pl nw [North capital on one end and 1st st nw on the other end in Bloomingdale] and I saw this dog with tags running around. The dog kept running from me when I tried to get close to him so I couldn’t grab him. I did get close enough to see that his name on his tag was Smokie. I had to get to work so I ended up calling animal control but hopefully the owner sees this so they can pick Smokie up and get him home!”

“A recently fenced in area on 10 st between New York Ave and I – the west side of the remaining empty lot across from the CityCenter park/fountain area – is now sporting a sign of dog park rules. Not a huge space, but a welcome addition for downtown dog owners!”
From Uber:
“Today is National Cat Day – the cutest day of the year. We’ve teamed up with Cheezburger and the ASPCA® for a second year to bring you kittens… literally.
Austin, Chicago, DC, New York*, Phoenix, San Francisco, and Seattle—break out all the warm fuzzy feelings and get ready to go “awwwwww” with #UberKITTENS!
HOW IT WORKS:
Open your Uber app between 12 pm & 4 pm.
Request the “KITTENS” option in your app. In NYC or DC? Enter promo code kittensnyc or kittensdc to unlock the option in your app.
Once the kittens arrive, you and your friends will get to enjoy 15 minutes of kitten cuteness! PRO TIP: Make sure to have an enclosed space purrrfect for playtime! In New York City, kittens can only be delivered to offices.
The best part? In most cities, kittens are eligible for adoption.
It’s just $30 for 15 minutes of kitten snuggles and every dollar from your visit is donated directly to the participating shelter in your city! In most cities, you’ll also have the option of adopting that little furball you’ve almost certainly fallen in love with. Just ask the local shelter rep assisting with your kitten delivery.
Keep in mind we expect demand for UberKITTENS to be VERY HIGH in all cities, so your patience is appreciated. We’ll do our best to deliver as many kitten cuddles as possible!”
“I found an adorable little dog this morning on the corner of Newton and 19th St, NW. She does not have a collar but seems to be well fed. She is grey and light grey. A little bigger than a Yorkie.
