UPDATE: AWLA is offering a reward for information that leads to the criminal prosecution of an individual or individuals related to this incident.

On Wednesday December 4th, 2024 just after 8pm AWLA’s Animal Control Department was contacted by an Arlington resident who discovered a brown and tan dog with cropped ears in critical condition located near S Walter Reed Drive (around the intersection of 14th St S and the Walter Reed Community Center). Responding officer Animal Control Resource Deputy Karina Swetnam immediately transported the dog to an emergency veterinary clinic. The dog had no identification tags of any kind or microchip (he was wearing a metal chain collar), but our team named him "Walter" until his identity is better known.

At the emergency room, it was discovered that “Walter” ,was covered in sores, emaciated and was experiencing severe hypothermia. We are deeply saddened to report that "Walter" did not make it through the night.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the compassionate resident who stayed with the dog and provided care until Officer Swetnam arrived.

AWLA is currently collaborating with Arlington County Parks and Recreation and Arlington County Police Department to investigate. We are now asking for our community’s help - if you recognize this dog, have any video footage from the area around the time of the incident (including Ring doorbell cameras, dash cams, etc), or have any information in regards to this situation, please contact AWLA’s Animal Control team at (703) 931-9241 or [email protected].

**While we understand that this is a distressing incident, we do not condone violent language on our page and comments containing such language will be removed. Thank you for your understanding.

This has been a very difficult week for us at Heart of Glass.
We are deeply saddened to announce that our beloved Maddie crossed the rainbow bridge on Monday night.
She was held by myself and her incredibly loving foster family, Leela, Carlos, Myrna and Dr. Puri ❤️
She left this world surrounded by people who loved her so much and she was safe and happy in those final moments.
Thank you to our dear friend andRivers Veterinary Urgent CareRivers Veterinary Urgent Care for being there for Maddie and all of us.
We also want to say thank you to Robin and the rest of Friends of Gloucester County Animal Control VAster County Animal Control VA for bringing that angel to us a year & a half ago.
Maddie had a way of grabbing hold of your heart the minute you met her and she will be missed by so many.
We are also so grateful to everyone who supported Maddie for her eye surgery that was scheduled for Dec 11th.
We will be giving those funds to her beautiful sister Macy who is in a wonderful foster home. Macy’s adoption fee is now sponsored and the rest will be available for her for whatever she needs.
Our hearts are broken but we feel so fortunate to have had the time we had with her.
She was truly special and we know she’s cuddling with our girl Baby right now.

Rest in peace, sweet Maddie ❤️

You will forever be in our hearts

Love,

Mommy Nicola
