Anyone Recognize this Pup?

By Prince Of Petworth

“We found this cute lil pup yesterday (3rd and Decatur St, NW) he is currently at the Humane Rescue Alliance on New York Ave. If you know of anyone who lost a pup that fits his description please share. We named him “NoChip” since he, unfortunately, has not been chipped.

He was super friendly and trusting, playing with other dogs and children, and followed us without a leash. If his owner does not come forward within 5 days he will be up for foster care or adoption. Contact the Humane Rescue Alliance or follow this link for more information here.”

UPDATE: Found! Anyone Recognize this Little Guy?

By Prince Of Petworth

Thanks to a reader for sending:

“We found this cute little dog this morning around 6:15 a.m. in the intersection of Holmead Place NW and Monroe Street NW. We brought it home, fed it breakfast and made a bunch of flyers and posted them around the neighborhood. This little guy is very sweet, has a collar, but no ID. I took him to the NY Avenue Humane Rescue Alliance this morning. He is not chipped. If you know who he belongs to please let them know where he is. Thanks.”

“Dear PoPville,

Was wondering if a call for dog groomers could go out. I know that has been discussed, but it has been awhile. My shaggy dog appreciates the help.”

“I’m hoping folks will realize that sitting on a busy sidewalk or being left tied up outside is not a pleasant experience for every dog”

By Prince Of Petworth

“Dear PoPville,

I live along 17th Street in Dupont and love how dog-friendly the neighborhood is and that so many establishments allow dogs in shops or on their patios.

However, there are a couple of folks in our neighborhood with dogs that “aren’t friendly” who still insist on bringing them along to sit on the sidewalk while they dine outside. More than once, unprovoked, I’ve had the same dog lunge, barking hysterically and snapping at myself and my dog. The owner berated me for letting my dog get close to hers, although her dog was lying in the middle of the sidewalk. Another time, I saw a woman bend down to greet a different dog at the same restaurant, and the dog snapped and bit her finger so hard that she was bleeding. (more…)
