Last Sunday Dog Town rescued five young puppies found abandoned in Wilson Canyon. The puppies were picked up by a resident of the Walker River - Schurz Reservation, who then contacted Dog Town to take the puppies.

The puppies are in relatively good health, although it is unknown when they were abandoned. The mixed-breed puppies will be available for adoption after they are fully vaccinated and wormed. There is also a post-adoption spay/neuter contract and refundable deposit required, since they will still be too young to fix when they become available.

A vandal spray painted at least eight homes, vehicles, businesses, two churches, the Brewery Arts Center and the Carson City School District's Gleason Building on West Musser Street sometime Thursday morning.

The Carson City Sheriff's Office was alerted to the graffiti at around 7 a.m. Given the words, phrases and profanity used, the vandalism doesn't appear to be gang-related, officials said.

"By the nature of it it looks like someone was upset and began walking along Musser Street with a can of spray paint," said Carson City Sheriff's Office Sgt. Mike Cullen.
