“Dear PoPville,
I found a female yorkie mix in SW DC this morning and clearly belongs to humans but was roaming the streets without a leash, human friend or tags. I’ve already reported her to Washington Humane, but hoping more exposure might her home safe & sound.
SOUTHWEST WASHINGTON, DC FOUND DOG: small terrier mix female found this morning 6/8 at the intersection of 3rd & M St SW. Collar but no tags. Friendly. (202) 341-1773 or [email protected]. Not microchipped”
“Dear PoPville,
Last evening I found a very cute orange bunny that is clearly an escaped pet. It was hiding under a car on the 700 block of Shepherd street NW, near New Hampshire Ave in Petworth. It is not wearing tags but is very friendly towards people. Since we have a very curious dog in our home the rabbit is currently being cared for by friend who works at City Paws. Would love to reunite this bunny with his/her family! I don’t imagine it traveled too far from home!”
17th and S St, NW
“Dear PoPville,
Yesterday around 7:30 p.m. my friend’s dog Cobalt and a Husky (we think its name is Rex but aren’t sure) got into a fight at the S Street dog park and in the scuffle the husky bit my friend’s right forearm, just above her wrist.
Unfortunately, the phone number provided by Rex’s owner (we believe her name is Dita) is a dead end. At the strong urging of my doctors, we are just trying to locate the dog’s owner to find out if Rex has his vaccines and records.
My friend would have to start the rabies vaccine tomorrow if she can’t get this information. If anyone knows Rex and his owner I’d greatly appreciate your help in tracking down this info so we can hopefully avoid a painful and expensive procedure.”
“Dear PoPville,
We found a lost dog in our front yard on Friday at 13th Street and Madison NW (5700 block of 13th Street), near the Georgia Ave Walmart. The dog is a friendly black and white female pit bull-mix. She is wearing a black collar with no tags, and does not have a microchip. We have reported her to Washington Humane Society and DC Animal Control, but they don’t have any matching lost dog reports.
We are keeping her at our house for now but hope to reunite her with her owners.
Readers can contact keltonwilliams1(at)gmail.com if they have any info please.”

“Dear PoPville,
On Thursday, May 12th, we spoke to a neighbor who witnessed Lexington walking alone down the 700 block of Kenyon St NW. This would have occurred roughly 5 minutes after she escaped from our backyard. The neighbor followed Lex down the road to investigate and witnessed a woman in a car pull-up beside Lexington, exit her car, pick up Lexington, get back into her car and drive off. This occurred near the drop-off area in front of Chavez Prep. Thus, we are convinced Lex was dognapped as she had tags with our phone # and a microchip, so the woman could have called us or brought Lexington to a vet or shelter to be identified.
Later on Thursday, a certified search and rescue dog tracked Lexington’s scent in the area that the neighbor saw her abducted, though she had not been on a walk on that street for a week. (more…)
Ed. Note: Now that we got the great news – you may unleash (no pun intended) your recriminations at will!
From an email:
“Maggie, the Boston Terrier puppy who was stolen from a car in downtown DC yesterday afternoon, is finally home with her owners tonight.
The person who found Maggie contacted the Steels today after seeing multiple news reports, so thank you for your coverage. It was instrumental in getting her back safely!”
