Thank you to @broadcastben_ for bringing this story to life and shining a light on @OPH_Rescue and all the good work this rescue does.
I rescued my sweet Figgy from OPH, and I will never stop tooting OPH's horn for everything they do and how much they care about animal welfare.

SCAM ALERT: We have heard from multiple DC seniors who have been targeted by a lottery scam over the phone.
Callers pretending to work for District government claim the senior won a lottery and needs to share personal information and send a monetary deposit to receive their lottery earnings.
Please warn your loved ones to beware of this scam and not share their personal information or send money to callers.
If you fall victim to such a scam, please call OAG for assistance at 202-442-9828.
Sent this to my family back home and my dad said he was the one who called animal control 😂

This is unusual (and warning, it may be TMI):
Fire, EMS, and hazmat were dispatched to a gate at Reagan National Airport minutes ago for an incoming commercial jet where the initial report is that a service dog had diarrhea on the flight. I hope the dog and the passengers are all okay. #aviation

Prim is described as a 40 lb terrier and lab retriever mix.
The rescue said anyone who sees her is asked not to chase her, so as not push her to run out of the area that she is settling into.
