There is a $22,500 reward offered for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person caught on film forcibly slamming a dog on the sidewalk before kicking and dragging the animal.
The Humane Rescue Alliance is investigating the incident, which was caught on several Ring doorbell cameras at around 6:30 a.m. on Monday, March 28 in Southeast D.C. near Pomeroy Rd. and Sheridan Rd.
In addition to a $20,000 reward from international bestselling author Don Winslow, a generous member of the public has stepped forward to partner with HRA on offering a $2,500 reward for information leading to the identification, arrest and conviction of the person responsible, bringing the total reward offered to $22,500.
Humane Law Enforcement officers at HRA are seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspect, as well as in obtaining additional surveillance footage.

If you have information or footage, please call HRA at 202-723-5730.
“As a humane community we can have zero tolerance for despicable violence toward animals, and we intend to fight cruelty wherever it exists,” said Lisa LaFontaine, President and CEO of the Humane Rescue Alliance. “Our officers rely on your tips to rescue vulnerable animals and stop the cycle of cruelty and violence. We ask anyone who has information about this case to please come forward as soon as possible, and hope this reward helps. We won’t rest until the suspect is apprehended and the dog is safely in our care.”
A $22,500 reward is offered for information leading to the arrest of the person caught on film slamming a dog on the sidewalk before dragging the animal.
Biscuit is a senior pup who still has a lot of pep in his step! He loves to go on walks, jump around with other dogs, and wrestle with his toys. His foster let us know he is very quiet and easily entertains himself by playing with toys or burrowing into his favorite blanket for naps.
Biscuit is a cuddly guy who never turns down a belly rub and loves to give kisses. He is a little shy at first, but if you give him space, he will soon be your best friend and always be by your side.
If you are ready to fall in love with this 12-year-old, salt and pepper sweetheart visit humanerescuealliance.org/adopt.

Primo has been waiting so patiently for his new home and he knows it’s almost his turn!
This handsome senior is as sweet as they come. He’s just looking for a bed to crash on, a lap to lay his head on, and maybe a fellow canine friend if you have one. In return for a loving home, he promises to keep his snoring to a minimum and will always greet you at the door with a wagging tail and wet kisses.
Is there room in your home for Primo? Learn more about him at humanerescuealliance.org/adopt

Meet Kilo—this sweet pup is truly 1 in a 1,000! 💕
Kilo is a handsome 5-year-old boy with the most soulful brown eyes. This good boy enjoys car rides and going for fun, long walks with his favorite staff and volunteers. Did we mentioned he walks quite nicely on leash!
There isn't much Kilo enjoys more than attention and getting all the pets and love he can. He's also an all-star at playing tag, and you can't not laugh when you watch Kilo get the zoomies at play time.
Kilo was found as a stray but he's looking forward to a happy future with a family that will love him endlessly.
Darling Tata and her brother Marco are looking for a new place to hang their leashes.
Tata is one of those sweet dogs that likes to lean into pets and seeks out friends for love and attention. Marco is a happy-go-lucky guy and greets people with a waggy tail and a full bouncy body. And did we mention he really likes treats! You've never seen a happier pup than when he gets a tasty snack.
These two are the cutest pair of pups around and they will need to be adopted together, but you can take them both home for only one adoption fee!
Make a date to visit these two—we know you'll fall in love!
Daya is a super bouncy, energetic gal always ready for fun!
Our staff note that she's like a little tank and ready to bulldoze her way into your heart.
Daya enjoys being outside or snuggling up with her favorite people. She's also a social pup and happy when meeting new dogs.
Think this cute girl is the one for you? Meet, adopt, and go home with her today!

One of the most common reasons pets are surrendered to shelters is the lack of affordable pet wellness, training and education programs.
Due to cost and other barriers, pets in under-resourced communities often do not have access to basic veterinary care such as spay/neuter services, vaccinations and other medical and preventative care.
Thanks to a $2,000 WE CARE grant from the Safeway Foundation, HRA is continuing our critical work to help pet owners through the Help Out, Partner, and Engage (HOPE) program, which provides services to people and their pets like free pet vaccines, spay/neuter surgeries, microchips, pet food, and supplies.

Meet Quigley and Vanna, two lovable cats who are looking for homes to call their own.
They’re not your average cats, though. Quigley taught himself to walk again after a spinal injury paralyzed his hind legs. And Vanna, with her jumbo jet loud purr, is energetic, athletic and curious despite being paralyzed in her back legs.
Although they are both paralyzed and incontinent, it doesn’t stop them from being playful, and happy kitties. Their foster parents assure us caring for them is not much different from any other cat – and that it’s even easier than scooping a litter box.
Ready to spend your days in awe of Quigley or Vanna’s resiliency? Visit humanerescuealliance.org/adopt.
Say hello to Peach, who is as sweet as can be! This 2-year old is super friendly and affectionate, and adores cuddles and belly rubs. She's also super goofy and loves contorting herself into all sorts of shapes while snuggling up in your lap.
Although she's bursting with energy (and working hard not to express all that joy by pulling on the leash during her walk), she is also happy to lounge quietly by your side.
Peach is also a very fast learner and she already knows how to "sit" and "stay." Is this smart girl the one for you? Meet, adopt, and go home with your sweet Peach!
At HRA, we know how to appreciate a pair of adorable ears! Cash, Bow Wow, Bob, and Kenzo are just a few pups with ears for days who are ready to go home with you! 🐶
To learn more about these pups, and to see all of our adoptable dogs, visit humanerescuealliance.org/adopt.
Not ready to adopt, but are in need of some floppy ears and slobbery kisses? Become a foster parent! Signing up is quick and easy, and you'll have a life-changing impact on an animal while they wait for their new home. Learn more at humanerescuealliance.org/foster.
Things haven't always been so easy for Xanthus. She came to HRA pregnant and scared in the midst of winter. After just a few short weeks in her foster home, Xanthus blossomed into an inquisitive cat who will never say no to some treats and loves a game with her favorite feather wand. She has been a patient and devoted mother to six kittens, and now it's her turn to find a family who will continue to build up her confidence in new situations.
Is there room in your home for Xanthus? Learn more at humanerescuealliance.org/adopt.
Many thanks to Lila and Luisa of Cadette Troop 1165 who took their love of rescue animals to the next level! After several weeks of collecting donations from generous donors, the girls made adoption packages filled with supplies for dogs and bunnies. Each package had blankets, toys, and biscuits along with a hand-written note congratulating the adopters on their new companion.
Yesterday we were invited to a 3rd birthday celebration for Charlie, a lab-hound mix who was rescued from a massive house fire last October.
At the celebration, Charlie received a special surprise: she got to reunite with the DC Fire And EMS firefighters, HRA officers and Friendship Hospital for Animals veterinarians who saved her life. As a celebration of her life, her parents expressed their thanks in person to all those who took part in Charlie’s chain of survival.
“I’ve long believed teamwork expands our ability to protect animals and keep families together, and our partnerships with DC Fire and EMS and Friendship Hospital for Animals are perfect examples of that,” said Lisa LaFontaine, President and CEO of the Humane Rescue Alliance. “I’m grateful to be a part of a humane community, where linking arms with partners ensures people and animals in need aren’t left behind. Without such compassionate and dedicated partners, our lifesaving work wouldn’t be possible.”
