Thanks to all who sent word about the zoning hearing placard posted at DC USA. Back in Nov. ’12 we learned that a Petco was coming to DC USA. Looks like it’ll be at the corner of Hiatt and Irving St, NW underneath the new DSW.

“Some friends of mine found a dog this morning on 14th and Newton and asked that I post a picture of the pup here in hopes that someone recognizes him. Here he is below, approximately 10lbs. If anyone recognizes him, please contact my friend at [email protected]”

Dear PoPville,
We adopted a wonderful year-old dog in October (shout out to Humane Society for being great) and she needs a lot of exercise. We live near the Upshur dog park, but unfortunately our pooch is shy around large numbers of other dogs and after several attempts now refuses even to walk down the block in the direction of the park. Neither of us are runners, but we like to walk and hike a lot, and she gets her best exercise by dashing madly up and down a quiet section of trail off-leash in front of us. We often take her walking off-leash in the northern section of Rock Creek Park where she sometimes meets and does fine with other off-leash dogs singly or in small groups. But, we’ve already explored many of the more distant trails in Rock Creek Park and would love to take the opportunity to exercise our dog and explore other parts of the city!
Any recommendations on good places to walk/hike off-leash (read: away from roads and cars, not highly trafficked with other dogs but popular enough to feel safe) with our dog?
“Dear PoPville,
My wife and I found a stray pit bull on Maryland Ave NE- just past Stanton Park.
He is incredibly friendly but in rough shape. Appears to be no more than 6-8 months old- he is neutered. No collar besides the prong collar and he has some wounds on his backside.
I’m giving him to animal control as I can’t really bring him home to our pup. They are bringing him to NY ave shelter if anyone is looking for him or needs a new friend.”
Dear PoPville,
This morning, I found a dog wandering around the intersection of Sherman and New Hampshire, where all the construction is. He’s probably about 50 lbs, black, friendly, and needs a good bath but other than that seems healthy. Also wanted to point out he has a collar but no tags. I took him in and gave him some water and some food. I go home for the holidays tomorrow. If I don’t hear from the owner I will have to take him to the shelter tomorrow.
I can be reached by email at [email protected] Thanks!

Dear PoPville,
I found this dog this morning around 8 AM when I was walking my own dogs. She came towards us on Kenyon btwn 11/13th. She was shaking and seemed nervous. She has a red collar, but no tags. I currently have her at my house, but she won’t come upstairs! Please help me find her owner!
If this is your dog or you know who’s dog it is please email me at princeofpetworth(at)gmail and I’ll put you in touch with the OP.
