“My dog escaped from her leash on her walk today. She was at 14th NW and Randolph when it happened. She’s very skittish and might only respond to people she knows, but any reports of sightings would be very helpful. [email protected]”

“Dear PoPville,
My neighbors have three dogs, two of which are very aggressive. The two aggressive dogs were able to escape from under their back fence last night and attacked another dog. The dog that was attacked was being walked by his/her owners. I didn’t see the attack, but apparently some other neighbors came over to help. My neighbor was able to round up his two aggressive dogs and brought them inside his house.
Police responded to the attack immediately; however, when the police came and tried to talk to my neighbors, they refused to answer their door. They keep their curtains drawn at all times and never answer the door to police. Animal Control showed up as well, but my neighbors still refused to open the door.
I am nervous living so close because I have small children and I don’t want them attacked by these aggressive dogs if they get out again. I also don’t want to be attacked. Nothing is stopping them from escaping again.
What can be done in this situation? I have contacted the police and Brandon Todd’s office and am hoping for help. Are there laws requiring secure fences?”
“dog got away from dog walker in Beekman Place NW around noon today. We have the whole neighborhood looking for him. See attached flyer. Brooks is chipped and has a collar on.”

“Lost Cat!!!
We haven’t seen Pirate in a week and are starting to worry. Pirate hangs out on V Street between 16thand 17th Streets, near the police station. You might catch a glimpse of him at night when he roams around and eats dinner on the front porch of a neighbor.
Description: black fur, green eyes (left eye doesn’t work), shy
If you see him, please call: Dani 202-271-4920
Thank you!”
“My cat, Tigrecita, went missing from 3rd and E Street, NE last night around 6pm. She is mostly white with large black spots on her back, a black tail, and stripes on her forehead. She has two brown patches near her nose that resemble a little mustache, and weighs about 14 pounds. Her collar is black and white with a skull and crossbones pattern, and she has a rabies tag attached that indicates the date of recent vaccinations and contact info for the vet (she also has a microchip). She responds to “kitty” or “Tigrecita.” Please call 804-248-2884 if you have any information!

“This adorable little Husky wandered up to my house at the corner of Trinidad and Owen in Northeast DC. I believe it’s a she, but she didn’t have a collar on so I brought her to the Humane Society on New York Ave. I was wondering if you could post it so she could be reunited with the owner. Their phone number is (202) 576-6664.”

“I live at 15th and Newton in Brookland. On Friday night I met a woman named Krysta at the corner of 14th and Newton St, NE, looking for her dog MIKEY, who escaped from his collar, got hit by a car and took off running at about 10:30pm. Krysta and Mikey are visiting Brookland from out of town, and he doesn’t know the neighborhood.
Mikey is a tall, brindle Pit mix and very friendly/gentle. Krysta called in an alert to the DC shelter. Mikey is also chipped.
If someone finds Mikey, Krysta asks that they call her on 717-698-0689.”
