Dear PoPville,
Spotted this little guy on my walk to the metro this morning. He growled and ran every time I got too close, so I was unable to secure him. He was in an alley off Eckington Place NE between Q Street NE and Quincy Pl NE. He looks like a miniature pinscher. He has a collar and looks well fed but I couldn’t find his owners. I called Animal Control and they said they’d send someone. I called back to ask if they were able to find the dog and have yet to get an update. Figured it might help to get the word out just in case Animal Control couldn’t help. Thanks!!

We have tried three or four different places but only have found one groomer we really like and we can’t get in with them until July at this point! We want a place where we don’t have to drop the dog off and leave her there all day and who are kind to “scared of new people” dogs. Any recommendations?
Dear PoPville,
My neighbor isn’t sure if her dog Blue was stolen or got out of her front yard yesterday. We live on L Street NE between 17th street and Bladensburg. Blue is a 4 year old male Yorkie with one discolored eye. Any help would be much appreciated so this pup can find it’s way back home!!! Please e-mail damad87(at)aol.com or call Ms. Cookie, Blue’s owner at 202-652-1429 if you have any information.

Our beloved Sweet Pea has gone missing. Pea went missing yesterday evening in the Fort Dupont park neighborhood in southeast Washington in the vicinity of Massachusetts Avenue. Pea’s wearing a tag but is not microchipped. Any prayers/help from readers is very much appreciated!

From an email:
We’ve formed a group called Friends of Columbia Heights Dog Park, to support improvements to and maintenance of the dog park at 11th & Park Roads NW. The park is currently a bit of an eyesore, and we want to fix that (as well as a number of safety and sanitation issues) by putting down a different ground material, building a double-entry gate, closing up areas where small dogs can escape, and creating enforceable rules and norms. The land is owned by WMATA, which makes doing this work on our own a little more challenging (we’re totally willing to do all the work, but need guidance and input from them to ensure they still have all the access they need to do what they do). We want to be able to go to them with a list of MANY supporters as part of our effort to get this done. So if you’re a dog owner who uses the park (or you don’t use it because you think it’s gross), and/or you’re a neighborhood resident who is interested in seeing the park get beautified and better maintained, please sign up at www.columbiaheightsdogpark.org.

Dear PoPville,
My neighbor’s dog was just accidentally let out by a contractor. She is a two year old black and white pitbull wearing a pink collar and answers to Sasha. She is incredibly sweet and loves people and other dogs. She is chipped and their contact info is on her collar.
Last seen at running up NJ avenue, NW. Lives near 4th and N st NW.
