Meet Klinger, an energetic puppy who loves fetch and daily cuddles

Klinger is a handsome young pup bursting with joy and enthusiasm for life.

He’s currently learning how to channel all that happy energy in the best ways and the team here thinks he’s very trainable — he’ll just need a little guidance to stay on track as he continues to grow.

This playful guy loves his toys, and a good game of fetch is one of his favorite ways to burn off that joyful energy. He’s already starting to build his basic manners and is eager to keep learning with his future family by his side.

When the playtime winds down, Klinger shines as a top tier snuggler. He’s already an expert in cuddles and would be more than happy to keep perfecting that skill every day.

If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who will bring joy, laughter and plenty of snuggles into your life, Klinger is ready to go home with you.

Come to the Humane Rescue Alliance at 71 Oglethorpe Street in Northwest D.C. to meet me between noon to 7 p.m. daily.

National Museum of the American Latino to be housed in historic Smithsonian building

The Smithsonian Institution has decided to put the National Museum of the American Latino into an existing, historic building, rather than constructing a new one. The Smithsonian Board of Regents on Monday designated the Arts and Industries Building, a 145-year-old redbrick Victorian structure located between the Smithsonian Castle and the Hirshhorn Museum, as the permanent site of the National Museum of the American Latino, which Congress authorized in 2020. In 2022, the Smithsonian narrowed its survey for permanent locations for the National Museum of the American Latino and the American Women's History Museum to four locations near the National Mall on land owned by the National Park Service. The Arts and Industries Building, located at 900 Jefferson St. SW, was one of the four sites. New construction on National Park Service land would require congressional approval. However, since the Smithsonian already owns the Arts and Industries Building, the institution can place the National Museum of the American Latino in the existing building without additional legislation.
