“Dear PoPville,
A cute guy caught my eye during the hot power vinyasa class at District Flow on Barracks Row on Tuesday (10/22) at 6:30pm. (more…)
Meet Lanie, a lively and loving pup, with a personality as big as her adorable ears! This spirited girl is always on the move, eager to join you for a day filled with play and adventure. Whether it’s a long walk in the park or a game of fetch, Lanie is up for anything that gets her tail wagging.
Lanie plays well with the resident dog in her foster home and is easily redirected during playtime. When the excitement winds down, she transforms into the perfect snuggle buddy, ready to curl up next to you and shower you with affection.
But it’s not all about fun-Lanie is a smart cookie, too! She’s nearly mastered potty training and responds well to words like “sit”, “down”, and “here.” Being a foodie, she benefits from a slow feeder during mealtime. Plus, Lanie understands directions in both English and Spanish! She’s gentle when taking treats and loves playing with her toys. Her favorite comfort shows are Bluey and Scooby-Doo!
With her playful antics and loving cuddles, Lanie is a delightful companion looking for an adopter who shares her zest for life. Are you ready to welcome this energetic bundle of joy into your home? Apply today to meet Lanie!
Meet Garlic, a playful and affectionate 6-month-old kitten! She loves spending her days wrestling and zooming around with her three sisters, always the life of the playtime party. When she’s not chasing toys or pouncing on her siblings, Garlic can be found perched on the cat tree, gazing dreamily out the window at the world outside.
After burning off her kitten energy, Garlic transforms into a calm, cuddly lapcat. She adores curling up with her foster for a cozy nap, purring contentedly as she snuggles in close. If you’re looking for a gentle, playful, and loving companion, Garlic might be the perfect fit! She’s now on the lookout for her forever home—could it be with you?
Join veteran Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey clown Jim Dandy and award-winning burlesque performer Delilah Dentata for Yolks on You, a brunch-time romp that celebrates the funniest, strangest, and most delightful variety performers they can find.
Over the years, we’ve welcomed burlesque, clown, live music, flow arts, drag, mime, pole, puppets, and a few things we still don’t quite know how to describe … and we’re doing it all again in May!

“Dear PoPville,
Over the summer as part of the installation of bike lanes on 11th Street NW in downtown, DDOT and DPW inexplicably removed disabled parking spaces on the north and south sides of the 1000 block of F Street NW, where no bike lanes were added.
