There are currently 16 dog parks in the District, but none have been built in these wards despite continued requests from residents.

A DC Redditor recently posted giving some background on this very sad situation.”

“Dear PoPville,

Does anyone have any up-to-date vet recommendations for new clients? We just got a new puppy and none of the vets near us (H St) are taking new clients.

I am sure we are not the only ones in this boat.”
