“Dear PoPville,
Our car has been located (totaled) in SE, but our cats are missing. All we care about at this time is finding the cats. We have filed reports with DC and Prince George’s County police, DC and Maryland animal control, the Humane Rescue Alliance, and Next Door/Facebook/Reddit. We are currently canvassing NE and SE DC and putting up fliers, but any additional help —or simply prayers—would be greatly appreciated.”
Thanks to Nick for sending from the Palisades.

From the office of the DC Office of the Attorney General (OAG):
“Attorney General Brian L. Schwalb today announced that District Dogs, a dog daycare, boarding, and grooming business, will be required to make safety and emergency preparedness improvements at all of its DC locations, as well as pay $100,000, in connection with a 2023 flood at one of its facilities that resulted in the death of 10 dogs. The Office of the Attorney General (OAG) opened an investigation into whether District Dogs misled customers about the safety of their pets at its Rhode Island Ave location, including concealing and downplaying the known risks from previous floods. As part of a settlement agreement resolving OAG’s investigation, District Dogs will develop and implement comprehensive emergency response and evacuation procedures for each of its DC locations, train all DC staff on emergency response procedures, obtain risk management certification, and keep its Rhode Island Ave location permanently closed.
