“Dear PoPville,
There is a sign in my neighborhood on G and 4th NW of “Rehoming Puppies” “Poodles, Yorkies & More”. DC has a huge dog stealing problem and as a dog owner, I want to flag this sign as myself and the other dog owners in the area are a little weary of it and I want to remind other pet owners to continue to be aware of their surroundings while walking their dog and being extra cautious.”
From the Humane Rescue Alliance:
“Last night, we reunited a FIFTH puppy in Godiva’s litter, named Oli, with his mom and siblings. We’ll work with the family who brought Oli in to return him to them once he’s older and strong enough to be separated from Godiva.
Each reunion brings happy tears to our eyes and gives us renewed hope that the remaining puppies will be reunited with Godiva and their brothers and sister.
Last month we found sweet Godiva tied to a pole – abandoned and alone. Her seven 3 ½-week-old puppies had been kidnapped, ripped away from her, and denied their right to grow up with and learn from their mother and siblings during their critical developmental period. It shattered our hearts, and we vowed to do everything we could to reunite the entire family. (more…)

“Dear PoPville,
I had a very bad day today (like, cried-in-front-of-my-boss bad) so I decided to take my dog on a long walk to clear my head. (more…)
Thanks to a reader for sending from U Street/Shaw: “Seems like it belongs in the notes from your neighbor category (from my building elevator)”
“Dear PoPville,
I live in Shaw, and there is a dog owner in the neighborhood with two big Great Danes – one has a black and white coat, and the other is all black. I have seen him walking both dogs off leash in residential sidewalks. Sometimes he has one dog on leash, and the other off leash. One of the dogs is not neutered (probably because he is not yet old enough), and sometimes that dog is the one off leash. Other neighbors have also noticed this guy with his two Great Danes, sometimes off leash. (more…)
