“The park-like setting, with carefully orchestrated groups of shade trees, underplantings and open spaces, enhances the residential character of the site. […] The more secluded Upper South Lawn includes the East or First Lady’s Garden designed by Rachel Lambert Mellon.”

Dennis (no shelter name as of this post) has a deadline of October 25, 2025.

He arrived at the shelter on October 21. His age is guesstimated at three years.

ID #A586556

Please help this wonderful boy!

He has scabies which is eminently treatable. Any shelter COULD treat. He just needs quarantine, which THIS shelter won't do.

If you can host him you can save his life.

I object 100% to the destruction of the East Wing, but

The Secret Service, DHS & Pentagon must be involved in both the planning and implementation of such a major modification.

I bet that this isn't currently the case.

Construction cannot continue until security oversight has been established.
