“I was out in Anacostia yesterday afternoon helping look for Charlotte, the lost hound mix, and I found this sweet little girl. No collar or tags. I took her to the NY Ave shelter to scan for microchip but none was found. Small brown poodle mix, heavily matted but very sweet. I am a coordinator for K9 Lifesavers rescue so I will hold on to her for the 5-day stray hold period animal control suggested, then re-home her.”
“Dear PoPville,
Our sweet kitty got out last night. Her name is Houston and she is a small, short hair grey cat with white markings (photo attached) She is super soft and friendly but somewhat skittish and is probably really scared.
She was last seen at the corner of 13th and Irving St. NE (in Brookland).
Please contact us if you see her at 301-641-1226 or 617-818-7537.
We are devastated.”
“Charlotte, ran away from the boarder in southeast DC. She was last seen running across the anacostia bridge at noon. She is 35 pounds and a hound mix. She has a purple collar and harness. She’s skittish so please don’t give chase. If anyone sees her, please call tel:202-430-1552.”
“Update for PoPville. Peanut’s been found up in Brightwood near Paul Public Charter School and is safe at home!”
Well – let’s pack up the internet for today…
A reader spotted yesterday and when begged for comment revealed it was from:
“Logan Circle. No idea how he got there. His owner was a few feet away talking to a neighbor completely unfazed.”
And yes – absolutely consider this a bonus caption contest photo.
“I am dogsitting for a friend and was walking her dog out in Bloomingdale earlier today. My leash somehow unhooked and the dog went running. I lost sight of her heading west towards 2nd St NW and Bryant.
She’s a mixed terrier, white with brown patches. She’s incredibly shy and skittish with strangers, and may try to run in the other direction if you approach her too quickly.
Her collar reads Miss Priddy, and her name is Peanut. Please call me, Emily (408-507-6015) or Stacy (617-620-1459) if you find her.
Thanks so much,
Emily”
“found this lost dog near 625 Rhode Island Ave NW in Shaw. The dog is male. It has a black collar with green skull and crossbones, but no tags. The found dog was taken to the DC Humane Society on New York Ave. Owner should contact the Humane Society immediately.”
“We found this guy yesterday, September 3rd, 2015 wandering down Illinois avenue without tags — looks to be a well groomed, well cared for terrier of some sort. We just want to get the word out so if someone is looking for him, they know who to contact. Please help!

From Crumbs and Whiskers:
“The past two months have been incredible. With your help, we have fostered over 40 cats, adopted 23 cats, and put smiles on the faces of thousands of people. Cheers to that!
But, we have also learned a lot about how we can improve. We have spent the past two months listening very carefully to everything you’ve had to say, and it’s now time for us to make some changes. So here they are:
Max Number of People: We are reducing the number of people we allow in the café at once by nearly half to eliminate overcrowding. That being said, please remember that weekends and some weeknights will still feel busy because they are our peak hours. If you would like to visit us during slow hours, we recommend weekday mornings/afternoons and late evenings.
Café Experience: We are eliminating the previous food ordering system, and are instead including complimentary coffee and tea (self serve) with your cover charge. We will also feature macarons and other treats from a neighborhood bakery for those of you with a sweet tooth. No more waiting around for orders to arrive.
Cover Charge: Starting today, August 29, our cover charge will be $15 per reservation. This charge will include complimentary coffee and tea. Due to the significant reduction in our capacity, we have no choice but to implement a small increase in our cover. We hope you’ll understand.
Seating Options: We have added additional seating options in the cat café – there are more chairs and benches for those of you who are not stoked about floor seating.
We are making lots of smaller changes as well, but these are the big ones we want you to know about. We really want you to have an amazing time at the cat café. Email us ([email protected]) if you visited Crumbs & Whiskers when we opened and did not have good time. We have some ideas on how to make it up to you.
PS. We just discovered that a lot of you really like yoga. And cats (obviously.) You know what’s coming next…”
