Thank you to everyone who came out today--or helped from behind the scenes

We had a great turnout today and were able to get a lot of fliers up. We had about ten volunteers come out, in spite of the weather! Many of those who came out to help came from Virginia--from Arlington or Falls Chuch.

We expanded the area fliered south to Andrews Airforce base. We also fliered in the area north of Marlboro Pike. To be safe, we recovered some of the areas we've fliered in the past and also handed out business cards at the area shopping centers.

We also checked the feeding stations and looked for Sweetie's prints in the snow--we saw a lot of prints, but most of them were for cats rather than dogs.

Hopefully we'll get a sighting call soon as a result of today's efforts--and then we'll be able to bring Sweetie back to safety!

Here's a pic of a few of our canine and human helpers from today!

Fliering event is still meeting at 11--dress warmly!

We are still planning on meeting at 11 to flier. Please dress warmly. Hope to see you there!

Sweetie In The News!!!

Sweetie has made the news!!

Now we just have to bring her home to help her celebrate her new found fame! Please plan to join us on Sunday at 11am for a fliering push at the Burger King parking lot in the Penn Crossing shopping center. The address is:

5730 Silver Hill Road, District Heights, MD‎


After a long night of monitoring a feeding station that Sweetie seems to be frequenting, we closed up the humane trap with no luck. We are hoping that with the fliering push and new sitings we can bring this pup in from out of the cold.

Sighting and Trap

Monday afternoon we received a call from a group of kids in the Marlboro Pike area that said that they had a dog that fit Sweetie's description in hand. Several volunteers rushed to the site, however, it seems the dog slipped away. The good news is that this is the same area that Sweetie has recently been tracked to, so another sighting is a great thing. The bad news is she is still missing and needs help more than ever!

We have also set and been monitoring a humane trap in the area with the hope that Sweetie is still there. In the meantime, we could really use your help to bring this little girl home before the snowfall on Saturday!

Flyering Event This Weekend!!

One of the biggest impacts we can make to get Sweetie home as soon as possible is to flyer! This weekend, January 30th and 31st, we are planning a flyering event. More information to come soon, but we hope that you will dedicate some time for Sweetie this weekend and come and join us!!

Sightings from Friday & Sunday

A sighting from yesterday was called in to the phone line: at about 11am, Sweetie was spotted near the community center at 5883 Suitland Road. This goes along with other sightings on Sunday.

And a fliering volunteer reported that while fliering along Suitland and Silver Hill on Sunday afternoon, a younger girl asked her if she had lost a brown and white dog. She had see such a dog, small "but not too much" with long ears, at her elementary school on Friday. The dog was barking at the children, who were scaref of the dog. That school is William Beans Elementary School, at 5108 Dianna Drive in Suitland.
