Meet Impala, a graceful pup who’s full of personality

Impala is a sturdy yet graceful girl who has earned the nickname “Impala Ballerina,” thanks to her impressive hops and joyful enthusiasm for life.

She is full of personality and loves spending time with her people. When Impala gets excited to see her friends, her happiness sometimes comes out in the form of bouncing and jumping. She’ll benefit from continued guidance in channeling that excitement appropriately.

A playful and energetic companion, Impala loves toys and enjoys having positive outlets for her energy. She’s learning that fun can come in many forms, from playtime to training sessions, and she’s eager to stay engaged with her family.

Like many young, enthusiastic dogs, Impala can occasionally be a little mouthy when excited. But she has been making great progress with appropriate redirection and structure.

Impala currently lives with other dogs and thrives on canine companionship. She enjoys having dog friends to play with and learns a great deal from them.

Her social nature and playful spirit make her a wonderful candidate for a home with another compatible dog.

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.
