“Dear PoPville,
I’m a resident of Columbia Heights and am looking for community recommendations: Our alley backs up to a shared green space at the CoHi green. The new management just posted a “no dogs allowed” sign and claimed that this property – formerly run by an NGO associated with the district government – is now private property. (more…)
Thanks to E. for sending yesterday (Sunday): “Spotted: five tiny dogs outside of the Lidl. All good dogs, can confirm.”
Ed. Note: MOLLY!.
Thanks to David for sending from “the same block as the Safeway around E St and 14th SE.”
Atlas Doghouse’s website says:

Ed. Note: You can also find a GoFundMe for District Dogs flood survivors here.
Thanks to Koko for sending: “Spotted at Aslin dc. This is CJ….he’s a regular pup there. First time in a back pack though!”
***This series features any pets in a backpack/bag/vessel. On metro, or not. Corgi, or not, and often NOT a corgi but the series started with corgis and I can be obstinate…send your finds to [email protected]

“Dear PoPville,
My wife and I were among the owners that lost our dog yesterday at District Dogs during the floods. I won’t say how many, but the manager at the Humane Rescue Alliance where her body was taken said that there were many others that also died. There is an immense amount of grief so many pet parents like us must be going through, and I’m hoping I can turn to this incredible community for help in crowdsourcing local resources for people like us suffering the trauma of unexpectedly losing our furry family members. We aren’t even in town right now, as she was being boarded during a trip, but we are headed back today and would love some help when we get back and the immense sense of loss fully kicks in.
Thank you to all of you who responded to my comment on the original post, offering your condolences. Even just a few words of compassion eases this pain ever so slightly.”
Ed. Note: If those in pain/grieving wish to speak with OP with directly instead of commenting please contact me at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch.

“Dear PoPville,
Our friend and neighbor, Billy, lost everything in an electrical fire early Sunday morning , and his cat Jules was hospitalized. She later died of her injuries, but the emergency vet bill was very high. We created this go fund me to help him start rebuilding his life.”

“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking to take my dog swimming this month. Thing is, as we just rescued him in the fall, this will be his first time doing so (we’ll definitely put on a lifejacket!). He’s a bit timid but definitely seems interested in the water. So… (more…)
