Dear PoPville,
I just recently toured a newly built apartment community in D.C. On their website, they had previously listed a non-refundable pet deposit for $500 per pet. Within the last week or so, it now says “N/A.” When I asked the leasing the office, they said that the legal team found out that a deposit like that for pets is ILLEGAL in D.C. I’ve been paying a deposit like that ever since I moved here (when moving to a new place/community)! I tried poking around online to find out about this, but no luck. I really don’t see a great reason that they’d “make it up” since they’re losing a good bit of money by not keeping the fee. What’s up?
“Dear PoPville,
Hi! Just found this dog in Bloomingdale. She is hanging out in U street right now.
Please contact Molly (202-302-2013) or Kevin (202-352-2582) if she’s yours.”

“There are 3 or 4 of these signs along 17th st north of U. As a dog owner in the neighborhood, yes, there has been an increase of unscooped poop lately, but I’m not sure a hostile anonymous note is the solution.”
We’ll have to add this to the list of those pushed over the edge. I always suspected it would get political at some point…

Dear PoPville,
Today around 12:30 my dog got lose and was seen hit by a car near 12th and S St, NW, as reported by a user on the forum. Her name is Roxy and is a red medium sized chow and golden retriever mix and is likely injured. If you find her please contact me at [email protected] or call City Paws 202-232-7263.
Though I fear what would happen if/when the dog spots a squirrel and bolts after it…
Dear PoPville,
Last night I was walking our 2 dogs and one jerked out of my hand after a cat or something in the dark… we drove around for hours calling for her but she hasn’t come back yet.
The dog answers to the name Lady, and was last seen running away from 3rd and Varnum NW heading south on 3rd around 1130pm Thursday night. She is a Rottweiler/Labrador mix and weighs about 45 pounds. She has visible nipples from having pups and a very crudely docked tail thats about 5 inches long with an obvious scar tissue mound and the tip (she was a rescue so we aren’t sure what happened with it). Please call Chris at 703.850.5865 or Eddie at 202.246.3216 if you find her or have any leads. Also, if anyone has any tips on what else we should do, please let us know.
Dear PoPville,
I’m wondering if you might be able to post on a found dog. I located it in Columbia Heights/Petworth on Randolph St. between 13th and 14th NW. It’s clearly not a stray–knows some commands, great on a leash, seems to have recently been fed, and super affectionate.
If anyone thinks this pup is theirs, they can contact me at 703.303.8679 with the dog’s sex and a description of its collar.
My friend’s dog ran away yesterday afternoon around 1:30 PM in LeDroit Park/Bloomingdale near W & 2nd Street NW. We’ve contacted the Humane Society and everything, but I figured I would reach out to you and your readership, if possible.
Her name is Sasha and we’re not sure of her exact breed, but she looks like a Shiba Inu mix — reddish blonde-colored and about 30 lbs. I’ve attached the best two photos I have. She is very sweet but rather shy/skittish, and likely will not seek out other people or come if called. She is wearing a collar and tags that as far as I know list her veterinarian in Bowie as the contact #. The vet is aware she is missing.
Feel free to use wpindc(at)gmail.com or the contact # (202) 256-2991 if anyone has any information.
