🐾 Happy National Dog Day, Chance! 🐾

Chance will be 10 months old on August 28, but he is already working hard and winning hearts everywhere he goes! He recently began his Canine Good Citizen training and will complete his first round of testing in the next few weeks—another exciting step toward becoming a certified support and therapy dog.

When he isn’t busy training, Chance enjoys pup cups, trips to the beach, cuddles, playing with clients in the Probation lobby, spending time with our staff, and getting pets from anyone willing to give them!

We are proud of Chance’s progress and grateful for the comfort, connection, and smiles he brings to our clients and staff every day.

On July 29, 2026, Placer County Probation assisted the Auburn Police Department (CA) with compliance checks of individuals required to register pursuant to California Penal Code section 290 within the Auburn city limits.

During the operation, a registrant supervised by Placer County Probation was arrested for felony possession of a controlled substance and misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia. The individual was also charged with violating the terms of probation by possessing prohibited pornographic material.

Collaborative operations like this help ensure registered individuals comply with their legal requirements and conditions of probation while supporting the safety of our community.

We appreciate the Auburn Police Department’s continued partnership and commitment to public safety.
