“Writing to report a found dog near Nationals Park in SE DC. He is a small terrier mix, collar and flea collar but no tags and no microchip. Lucky for this little guy, Washington Animal Rescue League (WARL) (www.warl.org) was running an adoptions event in the area and the nice people who found him brought him to the adoptions event. He is currently at the WARL shelter-202-726-2556.”

“It is a very sweet beagle and looks to be a little older. It has no collar, but is very friendly and looks too healthy to be a stray.”
If this is your dog or you know who’s it is, please have them email me asap at [email protected] and I’ll put you in touch with OP. Thank you.

“DOGA: Yoga for Dogs (and their Humans)
Dogs are natural yogis. They stretch, twist, have perfected downward facing dog pose, and excel at sivasana. But their practice benefits from a little help from their human. Here are just a few of the ways Doga can help:
- Doga allows the human and canine undisturbed bonding time.
- Dogs receive a full body massage, which relaxes them (and sometimes allows the human to discover ticks, growths and other issues)
- Dogs and humans both benefit from stretching and stress relief
- Dogs get mental stimulation through obedience cues
Still not convinced? Read more about Doga here.
Join us on Saturday October 31 for a special benefit class with your well-behaved canine companion. This 45-minute class will be held outside on 9th Street, in front of the studio. Bring a mat. All dogs must be leashed and aggressive dogs will be asked to leave. (In case of inclement weather, the class will be re-scheduled for later in the month). (more…)

“We are hoping you could please help us on this one. Around 7am we found a scared kitten (6-12 months old) crying in the bushes in Meridian Hill Park. She is in perfect condition and we are sure someone must be missing her!
We took her to the Adams Morgan Animal Hospital, where she can be picked up by her human.”

“Dear PoPville,
Uno, who was one of the dogs featured on this week’s Afternoon Animal Fix, went to his favorite dog park yesterday to find a sign that said “No dogs allowed” and a giant chain on the gates. A fellow dog owner went by yesterday and saw a representative from DC Parks and Recreation putting up the signs and locks. The representative said that he has received e-mailed complaints from Community Garden users that people are taking their dogs into the fenced-in, so-called, “Rain Garden” which is basically a drainage area for the garden. Though this is the official use, this space has been an unofficial dog park for years and seems to have had the endorsement of the garden. In fact, on the Bruce Monroe Community Garden website, there is a photo that clearly shows that the space was intended for dogs. Additionally, many of the community garden folks also have dogs and use the dog run and many have voiced their support for allowing dogs into the space. It is unclear who has really made the complaints and whether they are actually part of the garden community.
If there are any other dog owners/dog lovers/community members who wish to join our effort to save this dog run, please join our Facebook group.
We are working on writing to our representatives. The dogs and humans who come to the Bruce Monroe Dog Run have formed an awesome community and a safe place for dogs to socialize. We don’t want to lose this park!”
