“Dog found at 18th and C, NE this morning at 8 am. Sweet dog! Anyone know his owner?”
If anyone knows please reply to @maralise here.
UPDATE: Found!
“My dog was attacked yesterday and I am looking for the other dog’s owner and witnesses.
At 11:45am on Sat, May 3, my pomeranian puppy was attacked by an older dog at the corner of 14th/Florida. After the attack was over, someone told me to get the owner’s information but, in all the commotion and panic, I grabbed my dog, ran home, and didn’t get the owner’s information. My puppy will be okay but he has a large wound on his neck/chest, is in pain, and has about a two week recovery ahead of him.
I’d like to track down the dog/owner as well as witnesses, and report the incident to animal control.
I also want to thank everyone who helped free my dog. I wasn’t in the right state of mind to thank everyone at the time, so THANK YOU… you literally saved my puppy’s life.
Please email me at allisonthomson(at)gmail.com if you have any information.”

“Dear PoPville,
Thinking about getting a dog. How do people deal with a dog’s walking/pooping needs when everyone in the house works? Dog-walkers? Let them out in the yard during the day (what about winter)? Walk first thing in the morning and right after work? I’ve never understood how the logistics work. Advice from PoP readers? Our family is in Petworth, parents plus 8-year-old daughter.”
“Great news! Maebe is back at home! It has been a stressful week and we are so happy to have her back!”
A reader writes:
“This dog was found in Petworth today, 9th and Buchanan. Ray is the person who found the dog, his contact is tel:202-882-8482”
Another reader sends:
“We took her to get scanned and she is not chipped. Very friendly, good in car and at vet. Pale pink collar. No id. Please call 202-321-7573.”
“Dear PoPville,
When I was jogging with my labrador this morning, a large dog jumped over his fence at 3rd and F NE (why do people think 3 foot fences can contain their large dogs??) and lunged at my dog, pinning him up against the fence. Thankfully, he wasn’t able to bite my dog and my screaming seemed to startle the dog enough to get them to separate and we were able to walk away. As far as I know however, this dog is still loose. It was a large, mastiff-looking brindle colored (brown/black) dog.”
Keep your eyes peeled for this lost dog last seen near The Coupe at 11th and Monroe St, NW:
“Her name is Maybe and she is a Shih Tzu with white/gray hair with a pink flower on her collar.

“Dear PoPville,
I originally adopted this cat in 2011 with my best college friend in St Augustine, FL. In November of that year, while staying with that friend my grey tabby Kiki either jumped or fell (we aren’t sure, she has very bad balance) through the screen and out a second story window early one morning. Sure she would come back, we set up food, treats, formed a search party but to no avail. We gave up after about three months of looking.
Fast forward to October of 2013, and both me and the cat’s other caretaker have moved to DC for grad/law school. We received a call saying our other college friend had found Kiki in a Jacksonville Beach Pet Supermarket where she had been brought after being saved from a kill shelter. Thankful for the return of our wayward cat we retrieved her from FL and brought her here.
Earlier this year, my apartment flooded due to a fire in the unit two floors above us. My boyfriend and I were forced to evacuate, and eventually move to a new apartment north of 150 sq feet smaller than the original one that flooded. Since then, it has become excruciatingly apparent that Kiki is no longer happy living with us. We work long days, the apartment is much much smaller than the first one, and she has become lonely and bored which she tells us by an increased neediness.
Kiki is 3 years old approximately, is up to date on her shots, is spayed, and has no health issues. When we got her back from Florida she was too thin, and now she has filled out. She makes sweet chirping sounds instead of meowing and purrs so loudly you can hear her three rooms away. She is the best and that is why I know that this is for the best for her pending a home that can give her a little more room or a little more company. Or both.
Please no hurtful comments as I truly believe that I am trying to do my best for my pet and this is the least easy decision I’ve had to make in a challenging 2014. She has had quite the adventure and it’s time for her to settle. Unfortunately I cannot provide that for her. I’ve attached 2 pictures for reference. If you can help or know anyone who can, please reach me at gnmccaffrey(at)gmail.com. A full vetting process will be required as I am taking this very seriously.”
