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!
Watch out ladies, Winston Churchill (or Winston for short) is a cool charmer. His parents, Joanna and Clinton, brought him to DC from Las Vegas, and he’s got swagger. A micro English Bulldog, he’s not a fan of walks, boxes, mailmen, or wearing sweaters. But if you give him treats, hold him like a baby, or want to hang out on his stoop with him, this bad boy will melt your heart.
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.
