“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.”

Geoffrey is really friendly, loves other dogs and we hope someone in NE will spot him, snap a picture, and let us know — at 757.968.0444 or 802.370.0851 and on Facebook @Bring Geoffrey Home so we can bring him home!

“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!”

“Dear PoPville,

There was a sweet but scared dog running around 9th and T NW this morning without a collar. A few people and I stopped to try to help. I called the police (is that who you call in this situation?) but had to leave before seeing everything get resolved.

I’m including a picture, as I thought you could post to see if anyone recognizes the dog and knows how to get in touch with an owner. I know it’s a long shot but wanted to try.”
