Paradigm Pets 🐾

Not every pet has paws — and that's what makes Gus from Meridian at Courthouse Commons so special. 🐌✨

This golden mystery snail spends his days exploring every inch of his tank, snacking on his favorite treats, and turning ordinary aquarium décor into an obstacle course. Whether he's climbing glass walls, digging up plants, or attempting gravity-defying stunts off his favorite log, Gus always finds a way to stay busy.

Proof that personality comes in every size; Gus is one of the most unique members of our pet-friendly community. 💛

Tips for the DC Newbie (From a DC Newbie)

Moving to a new location can shock your immune system!😷

Both allergens and sicknesses can catch you off guard with how much they may affect you. Making sure you have extra allergy and cold medicine when you first move in keeps you from having to go to the pharmacy when you're not feeling well.
