Meet Stanley!

This eight-year-old Yorkshire Terrier mix is quite the character! He is very sweet and chatty- loves to tell you about his day!  A somewhat active adult home will be best for Stanley (he is not a fan of little kids!). He is OK with cats and tends to ignore other dogs, so he'd be fine as "an only child." He has a long silky coat, but he's used to being combed, so he won't require more than a couple of minutes a day to stay well groomed. In fact, Stanley has some quirky hobbies too- he enjoys running in the sprinklers and taking baths! At the age of 8, Stanley qualifies for our "Seniors for Seniors" program: if his adopter is over 60, we'll waive the adoption fee!

*** Join us on Saturday, June 4th at the 18th Annual Doggy Dash at William Land Park!!

SACRAMENTO - United States Attorney Benjamin Wagner announced that Thursday U.S. District Court Judge Kimberly Mueller sentenced  John Raymond Porter, 42, of Sacramento, to eight years and four months in prison, to be followed by three years of supervised release, for serial bank robbery.

According to court documents, during the early stages of the investigation, the task force dubbed the perpetrator the “Goat-Man Bandit” because the tellers in some robberies indicated the robber had facial hair in the form of a goatee. Porter was convicted of four counts of bank robbery but admitted to committing nine bank robberies:

            1. Wells Fargo Bank, 781 Pleasant Grove Boulevard, Roseville, on October 3, 2008;
