Meet Dom, the newest rescue pet of Sacramento partner Carley Roberts and her husband, Jeremy. You may remember the Roberts’ other pets, which were featured as Pet of the Month in March and in our April Fool’s edition of the SALT Shaker. 

Carley recently was heading home from work late in the evening, and as she entered the freeway, she came upon a large, Pit Bull-ish looking dog running at top speed in the lanes of traffic. Cars were whizzing by him without a care, so Carley rolled down her window, pulled to the side of him, and began talking to the clearly scared pup, hoping he might slow his stride. As the dog, who is now known as Dom, began slowing down, Carley swerved to protect him as another car impatiently tried to cut around her. She then drove ahead of Dom, continuing to swerve back and forth until all traffic was at a standstill. Once at a stop in the road, Carley opened her doors and encouraged Dom to hop in. As he approached, he stopped about 10 feet in front of her, lowered his head, and stared, showing no trace of emotion. Now eye-to-eye with what was clearly a 100-plus pound Pit Bull, for a split second Carley questioned the wisdom of her judgment, but knew she was doing the right thing and continued to sweetly encourage Dom to jump in her car. Thankfully he did, hopping into the driver’s seat and then into the backseat. Continue Reading SALT Pet of the Month: Dom

Meet Biscuit, the seven-year-old ruby nose beagle (also known as a lemon beagle) of GenOn Energy Tax Manager Lucy Lunt. Although you might not believe it from the looks of her photos, Biscuit loves going for walks and tracking rabbits—although she would have no idea what to do with a rabbit if she ever actually caught one. A true couch potato…

Meet Calvin and Maggie, the playful new kittens of Sutherland Client & Practice Development Manager Katie O’Brien and her boyfriend, Scott. It has been just five days since the four-month-old pair was adopted from the Atlanta Humane Society, but they are already Sutherland SALT’s biggest fans: while Mom and Dad are away at work, the kittens&rsquo…

“They allow ponies in this neighborhood?!?” “You could ride him to work!” “He’s bigger than me!” “Put a saddle on that thing!!”

Yea, yea, Mustard (the attention-magnet-only-“child” of Sutherland SALT extern Ted Friedman and his wife, Caroline) has heard it all before…and he no longer takes offense to the horse comments.
