With Mother’s Day approaching, we want to shine a light on the mothers who are too often forgotten. The ones who were once tiny puppies, adored for being “cute,” only to be discarded when they are no longer useful, profitable, or convenient.

Far too many mama dogs spend their lives producing litter after litter for breeders looking to make quick cash — and when their bodies are tired and the puppies stop selling, they are abandoned, dumped, or passed around like they never mattered. But they do matter. They feel fear, confusion, loneliness, and heartbreak just like any living being.

Earlier this week, a sweet girl now named Katniss by the staff at the Prince George's County Animal Shelter was reported wandering alone at a dog park early in the morning. Katniss was safely picked up and brought back to the station, where she was scanned for a microchip, but none was found. We may never know who left her behind or why, but purposely abandoning an animal is cruel and unacceptable.

To whoever may recognize or be missing this sweet girl, please call us at 301-459-0142. We understand life can become difficult, but abandoning an animal without care or a plan is never the answer.

And to our community: if you see something, say something. If it is safe to do so, take photos of vehicles, license plates, or surrounding details before chasing after an animal or calling for help. That information can save lives.

This Mother’s Day, remember: motherhood does not end when the puppies grow up. These dogs are not disposable once they stop being “cute.” Every mother deserves safety, compassion, and love — including the ones who cannot speak for themselves. 🐾💕

Plush toys & happy pups 🐾

While out around the city, we’ve been approaching dogs and their owners during walks to hand out plush toys and share a little joy. It’s been great getting to meet so many friendly faces—both pups and their humans! Thank you to Prince George's County Animal Shelter for sharing these toys with us so we can spread a little extra happiness along the way.

This has been a great way to engage with our community, build relationships, and create trust through simple, positive interactions. It’s been fun connecting with so many of you, and we’re looking forward to meeting many more friends in the future.

Friendly reminder to always use a leash and clean up after your pup while on walks—let’s keep our city safe and clean for everyone! 🐶
