Dome Dogs: The Dogs of Capitol Hill
A photo series of the dogs who live on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC
Chilly was a Jersey boy originally and comes from a family of show dogs. But that wasn’t the life for Chilly, he more prefers park life and walks with his mom, Michele. He loves to play chase with his pup friends and loves to talk! He’s been in SE DC less than a year and already lost his Jersey accent!
Ms. Gracie Roux came to SE DC in 2017 after being transported up from Louisiana and away from the path of Hurricane Harvey when she was about one year old. When she arrived at the rescue, her mom, Barbara, was there volunteering, saw Gracie, fell in love, and became one of the fastest foster fails in history. Gracie’s favorite things are butt scratches and sitting in her yard, feeling the breeze on her ears.
Gracie was rescued from Homeward Trails Animal Rescue in Arlington, VA.
One of Thor’s favorite spots in NE is Eastern High School and its sports fields. Like his namesake, he is full of mischief and energy. He doesn’t throw any hammers though, he prefers his parents, Aftan and Calvin, just throw balls for him to chase.
Aftan and Calvin got Thor from Lucky Dog Animal Rescue in Arlington, VA.
Koda and her moms, Gerri and Marisa, have been in SE around eight years. Koda loves her yard and tennis balls of all kinds, and is very good at listening to her moms.
Gerri and Marisa adopted Koda from Jasmine’s House in Baltimore, MD.
SEers Chuggy the Chug and his sister Ellie, a dachshund mix, were looking super festive in their Christmas sweaters that their parents Cheyanne and Matt got for them.
SE side represent! Elliot, Olivia, and Lola live with with their mom and dad, Brittany and Will.
Elliot was rescued from Virginia Paws for Pits, Olivia from Bully Paws in Spotsylvania, VA, and Lola from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria in Alexandria, VA.
