Thanks to all who passed on from the Washington Humane Society:
“The Washington Humane Society and the Washington Animal Rescue League today announced a definitive agreement to merge the two organizations to create the first end-to-end animal care organization in a major U.S. city. Founded in 1870 and 1914, respectively, WHS and WARL will bring together a comprehensive set of animal care and protection programs that touch the lives of more than 60,000 animals each year, including: Rescue and Adoption, Humane Law Enforcement, Low Cost Veterinary Services, Animal Control, Behavior and Learning, Spay/Neuter, Pets for Life and many other programs.
“Dear PoPville,
Every February, I have a big birthday party for my Cavalier King Charles spaniel, Kingsley, and invite Petworth dogs and their humans to come celebrate.
Last year I had 22 dogs in my row house! All are well-behaved, mooch at the treat table (I bake organic biscuits for them), and have a blast tearing open a piñata filled with more smelly dog biscuits.
Each year there’s a different party theme. This year it’s Star Wars, since Kingsley’s turning 7.
(I will also mention here Kingsley is a National canine agility champion — the only dog in Washington, DC with that title!)”
Ed. Note: While this might be a bit unusual, this is the best – anyone of you self hating, insufferable curmudgeons tempted to be rude in the comments can just click the little ‘x’ in the right hand corner of the page. Thanks.
Lots more photos after the jump. (more…)
A reader reports on the passing of missing dog Yuri:
“The family is pulling down the signs, but are asking for the public’s help to take down signs if they see any.”
3513 Connecticut Ave, NW
The folks from CityPaws give me a brief update on their 2nd location coming to Cleveland Park:
“we are hoping to open feb 22. Community open house March 13 2-5 pm pets welcome”
Thanks to @bpduss for sending. @CeliaARiley is in the cat costume.
“Dear PoPville,
I lost him on January 13.
He’s a male,
Pomeranian,
4yrs old,
small (about 9lbs),
black with white snout & paw tips,
wearing a collar with three tags that are green, yellow, and red.
The red tag has his name (Noche) and my phone number.
I lost him in the Petworth area in DC.
I’m offering a reward.
256-289-1847”
A reader writes:
“I found this cat crying last night around 16th and Lang Pl NE. It seems very sweet and can’t tell if it’s a stray or someone’s lost pet–it’s very friendly and affectionate. For now it’s in my apartment but am going to call the Humane Society later to see if she’s microchipped or not but wanted to post in case someone is missing it.”
“Dear PoPville,
This cat was found in the 2600 block of Sherman Ave NW. If this is your cat, please contact [email protected] or text 908.291.8359 [Call: 908.291.8359] .”

Update Found!
Please keep a lookout for:
“His name is Louie, he is a year and a half old west highland terrier, about 20 pounds. He has a red collar with a silver name tag. He was last seen running by the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro stop at 7th and H st NW. Louie is very shy and scares easily by loud noises so he may be hiding. He is a very fast runner so chasing after him may just cause him to run away.”
