“Dear PoPville,
Do you know a good resource for finding a tastefully furnished apartment suitable for a busy professional? Dogs need to be okay. A weight limit is fine, the little one is only 16lbs. Mostly interested in AdMo, Mt. Pleasant, Shaw, Petworth, Columbia Heights.
Any quick tips would be hugely appreciated!”
UPDATE: Home found!
“Dear PoPville,
I have a fat, healthy, about 8-inch-long orange and white Koi that has outgrown my outdoor pond. I’m not sure how old he/she is but he/she was about 3 inches long when I bought him/her and I’ve had him/her for about 3 years now. He/she is not aggressive at all, he/she has lots of smaller comet goldfish buddies that he/she gets along fine with. (more…)
Thanks to IHeartDC for the update on stolen pup, Bruno:
“Good news! Bruno is home. I’ve been in touch with one of the owners since the beginning (her discarded purse was found in my neighborhood the day after the car was stolen), and she texted last night to tell me Bruno had been found. I don’t have the details, but I was so relieved and figured others would be too.”
Ed. Note: Will try to update with more details when/if I get them!
“Zoo headed to the Park, owner was more than happy to show this guy off!”

“Dear PoPville,
Long story short, my cat of 13 years passed away from cancer a few weeks ago. The animal hospital did everything they could which I appreciated (but it was still kind of a weird experience– since due to Covid– they have an outdoor tent in a parking garage where you say goodbye, and then the medical team comes and goes so you can have your privacy and also continue to be socially distant.) In the middle of this emotional/chaotic experience, they asked what I would like to do regarding remains; and I opted to do a paw print impression thing– they said they would take care of everything for me which was great as I was in no place to shift my focus in that moment.
Cut to last Friday afternoon, I get a UPS tracking email saying a package (the paw print/memorial) is in route, and expected to deliver on Saturday 10/31. However, I see it’s going to my OLD ADDRESS. (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My neighbor has a dog that he won’t let in the house because he thinks dogs are dirty.
This dog is SO sweet but howls and cries everyday, for hours.
Here are examples: (more…)
“Dear PoPville,
My name is Andy and I wanted you to help me spread the word out about my stolen dog. On October 9, 2020 my car was stolen in front of my partner house (900 Block of Euclid Street, NW). I step out the car to let my partner know we had to go and in that minute someone had took my car and my dog Bruno was in there. The next day my car was recover in Suitland, Maryland but Bruno was not there. (more…)
