Russell

Russell is a gentle 9-year old Pitbull who lives in NE with his Dad Kyle and his Mom Ajia. The trio moved to Capitol Hill relatively recently, but Russell has already made friends with Capitol Police officers who give him treats when he goes with his mom on her morning runs. He really enjoys exercising, and is a big fan of carrots, peanut butter, yummies, saying hey to other dogs, and climbing on his dad.

This good boy spent the last five years with his foster mom Vicki who taught him all his good boy ways, and Kyle and Ajia gave him his forever home last May. He was adopted from the Partnership for Animal Welfare in Greenbelt, MD.

Sammie and Hunter

Hunter. a two year old English Setter, and Sammie, a year old border collie mix, are a serious duo, especially when it comes to treats. They are super well-trained, and Mom Audra and Dad Matt said that this love of yummies made clicker training of the two easier than expected. Hunter and Sammie bonded over a love of cheese and chasing squirrels. Separately, Hunter is a champion cuddler, and Sammie excels at playing fetch.

We were lucky to catch this fun family just before they left the NE side of the Hill for greener pastures (and a yard). You can follow the new adventures of this dynamic duo as country kids via @brownearedgirl on Instagram.

Sammie was rescued from Rural Dog Rescue in Washington, D.C. RDR was founded by the owner of Howl to the Chief, another favorite establishment of all Capitol Hill dogs.
