Meet Janica, a gentle young pup with a heart full of hope

Janica has heartworm, which means she needs crate rest and to be calm while she gets fixed up.

The good thing is the Humane Rescue Alliance will take care of all her treatments free of charge if you adopt her.

Janica is a 1-year-old beagle mix and weighs 14 pounds.

To know Janica is to love her completely. She’s a charming, gentle young lady with the softest expression and a heart full of hope. Janica is searching for that kind, patient person who will take her home and show her the good life she truly deserves.

This sweet pup is bashful and needs a quiet, steady household where she can build her confidence at her own pace. Soft words, yummy treats and plenty of love will win her heart. She’s an absolute champ at lap-lounging and happily soaking up pampering.

Janica would thrive in a calm home where she can relax, heal and feel safe.

If you’re looking for a tender, pretty doggie who just needs a gentle hand and a loving routine, she may be your perfect match. Meet and adopt her today — she is wonderful.

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.
