Just two weeks away!

K9 Partners, in conjunction with the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office, will be hosting Barks and Badges 2025 at Bartley Ranch Park, just off Lakeside Drive in Reno, Nevada.

This FREE event welcomes everyone to come learn about Washoe County Services, our amazing First Responders, and meet the K9 team from the Sheriff’s Office. The event runs from 10 AM to 2 PM with several demonstrations of the K9s showing some of the skills and techniques used to handle scenarios. Visitors will have the opportunity to meet some of the K9s and their deputy handlers.

We also have representatives from numerous health, wellness, and safety organizations, such as Safe Kids Washoe County and Child ID, that will be happy to talk with you about their services.

Other vendors have unique items to sell, and K9 Partners will have a booth where you can buy shirts, mugs, and souvenir license plates. They will also answer questions you have about our organization and how to get a custom K9 license plate and why we’re encouraging them.

An area for children’s game is set aside where your youngsters can play games, talk to each other, and perhaps get their faces painted. Artsy Fartsy Mama will be wielding her paintbrush nearby.

We’ll have three food trucks on the Site:
Taster’s Paradise Café & Bakery
Super Swirl
Lety’s Tacos
