Two lost black dogs seen in Mount Rainier

We received the following:

I saw two small black dogs running around at Bunker Hill and Eastern (Mt Rainier/DC border) yesterday around 2:15 p.m. Both maybe about 20 lbs? One matted up, the other not visibly so-- but i was looking at them from across eastern ave (yikes). so i wasn't that close to them. i took a pic, but the dogs were right next to each other, so in the pic there looks as though there is only one. bad pic, but see the pic below.

Someone just told me that she saw them in Mt. Rainier today (9/28/10) on 32nd between Shepherd and and Taylor.

Another lost cocker spaniel!

Via another Cheverly resident, this morning:

I saw a wandering cocker spaniel (I think -- I'm lousy with dog breeds) near the Kilmer/Lake curve. The dog was quite dirty around the belly and legs -- it looked like it had been loose for a while. It was wearing a red collar. Though the dog came toward me, it repeatedly shied away when I tried to check for tags.

Twenty minutes ago, the dog was heading down the Lake hill from Kilmer. I hope it is home safe soon (if not by now).

Handsome big boy running out of time at the shelter

This handsome boy, found in Cheverly, is running out of time at the shelter. If you can foster or adopt, please, please let us know (contact the shelter directly about adopting)! He's about 2 years old, around 80 lbs, and appears to be housetrained. He is great with people and good with other dogs, too!

This dog comes with $200 in sponsorship to a rescue that can take him; there may be additional funding available.

Found: cocker spaniel

A golden cocker spaniel was found in a wooded area just off of the park road going to Euclid Street Park. The dog is safe now and has been reunited with the owner. This dog was an outside-only dog and escaped from his yard--please keep your pets inside when unattended, so that they are safe!

The power of identification

We don't usually post personal tales here--but here is one from this evening.

A neighbor came by my house this evening with a lovely dog that she had found while walking her own dog. I currently have four dogs in my house (three are mine, plus a foster), and I cannot hold on to another dog right now while looking for an owner.

My neighbor has a rescue dog, too, and has met many of my fosters as well as other dogs that I've found. Together we were able to remove the dog's collar, contact the owner, and hold a reunification in the yard in about five minutes! The owner had been out looking for his girl for more than three hours and was just delighted to hear from us!

Three cheers for identification! To the owner of this lovely dog--thank you SO much for having ID on your dog! We were so happy to be able to reunite you with your pup so quickly! To my neighbor--three cheers for you for helping this dog!

Yay ID! Yay neighbor!

Loose dog on 63rd Avenue

This dog has been caught and is with a neighbor. If this is your dog please call 240-381-5512.


Hi friends,

Just saw a loose dog on 63rd Ave, between Laurel and Inwood; he's friendly and curioius - wiggled away from me and ran on his way. Had tags; bone-shaped tag said "Sarge" I think. Looks like lab mix, golden with some gray on his muzzle.

Doggie dip pictures

Here are several pictures from the recent doggie dips--check out the pups having a blast! Thanks to those who sent pics!

URGENT: Cats in need of new home immediately!

A fellow Cheverly resident will be moving overseas soon to work for a US embassy in Africa. Unfortunately, their two cats cannot come along. They've been trying to find a no-kill shelter or someone to adopt them, with no success. Moskowicz is a male orange tabby and Velvet is a solid dark gray female with green eyes. They are siblings and the preference is to keep them together if at all possible. They are approx. 5 years old, spayed/neutered and are up to date with all vaccinations. They are NOT declawed, as they currently spend about half their time outside. Both are very affectionate, and have lived with dogs their entire life.

Please contact Chris at pinga245@yahoo.com if you or somebody you know is interested. Urgency is needed as the owner departs for Africa in the first weekend of October.





*On a related note, there are many reasons to consider adopting an adult cat. Here are just a few.

Dog found in Cheverly now available for adoption from the PG Shelter

This handsome big boy was found in Cheverly about a week ago, and taken to the shelter. His owner has not reclaimed him, and he is now available for adoption! He's about 80-100 lbs, very sweet, and LOVES attention! He is good with other dogs, and generally a lot of fun!

If you'd like to consider fostering, please contact us and we'll work with you to try and find a rescue group to commit to this nice boy!

Beamer is coming to Cheverly tomorrow!

Meet Beamer (Miss Bea to her friends)! She's a sweet yellow lab mix who ended up in a high kill shelter in January. When the shelter was told it had to downsize from 200 to about 30 dogs in a matter of weeks, a vet took Bea in to keep her from being euthanized. Until she came to the DC area, she was living in an outside kennel with a few pals, hoping for a family of her own.

Bea is timid at first with new situations, and needs a family who will be patient with her as she settles in and learns that she's safe. She takes treats very gently, and cautiously wags her tail at any affection. She is happier with other dogs than on her own and would do best in an adult-only home.

Breed Estimate: Labrador Retriever mix
Sex: female
Approximate weight: 55 pounds (she's 10 pounds underweight right now)
Approximate age: 2 y.o.
Location: Cheverly!
Coat Type: short; typical lab
Personality: a bit timid but very sweet

How could anybody resist a face like this?

Didi is a wonderful and sweet little girl. She is loving and affectionate. She loves to take walks and also curl up next to you. She really wants most to be someone's companion and she likes to hang out right by her boarder's side whenever she gets the chance. She likes other dogs and does well with children and adults. She will be a fantastic pet for just about anyone.

If you're interested in getting to know more about her, please visit her Petfinder page.

via another Cheverly resident:

A black and white sheltie named Lucy broke her leash and took off around noon from the corner of Kilmer and Belleview. Her owner is out driving looking for her but if you see or find her - she does have tags - try to entice her to a safe place and let her owner know.
