Washoe County’s Shop with the Sheriff event happened last night at the Wal-Mart store on Pyramid. Local kids were able to fulfill their Christmas Shopping with the assistance of WCSO deputies. Two of the K9s were on hand to greet them and help with the shopping. People got to meet K9 Ava and K9 Odin. Thanks to Wal Mart for their participation in this annual program.
Our own Diana Lee was on hand to take a few photos.
Want a chance to see and meet one of the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9s up close and personal? Our dogs are socialized and love to meet people. At this time, we don’t know which K9s will be there as their appearance is subject to availability based on work needs.
K9 Partners will have a table at Scheels on November 12th and will have tee shirts, mugs, and calendars available for set donations. Calendars are also available from Scheels at their Information desk. We’ll be there from 10 am to 2 pm.
So come out and meet our dogs, get some photos, pick up a new calendar or two and chat with their Deputy partners.
Many thanks to Scheels at the Legends Outlets for hosting this Meet and Greet. K9 Partners and the K9 unit appreciate their support.
K9 Partners was delighted to be asked to be at Consign Furniture’s first-ever Trunk ‘n’ Treat event! Two Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9 Teams joined us to give the little trick or treaters a chance to meet Odin and Ava. The dogs were a big hit!
The costumes were adorable, scary, and so creative! A DJ kept the music going and the kids dancing. Food and craft vendors filled the parking lot! We had a great time handing out candy, trading cards, and stickers. Here’s a few photos from the evening’s event.
K9 Partners will be helping out at Consign Furniture’s Trunk ‘n’ Treat event for kids. All proceeds will benefit the Boys and Girls Club. One of our Washoe County K9 teams will be there with us. It’s between 6 pm and 8 pm on October 28th at Consign Furniture, 6865 Sierra Center Pkwy #200, Reno, NV 89511.
Bring the kids and come on out!

Members of the WCSO K9 Unit along with other Northern Nevada K9 unit teams competed in the 2022 Inaugural K9 Unit Challenge in Carson City today. The competition consisted of three courses: Detection, Patrol, and Obstacle/Agility. The goal of this competition is for the different agencies to have a chance to work with each other and give the community a glimpse of what these K9s and their handlers are capable of doing.
The WCSO was represented by Deputy Harris with K9 Ava, Deputy Evans with K9 Odin, and Deputy Lynch with K9 Ace. Join us in congratulating Deputy Harris and K9 Ava for winning 1st place in the Obstacle/Agility course, 3rd place in Patrol, and 2nd place overall.

Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam and members of the WCSO K9 Unit recently attended the groundbreaking of the new Liberty Dogs Campus.
The facility, which will be constructed south of downtown Damonte Ranch in Reno, will provide some of our nation’s veterans with a chance to lead a more fulfilling and independent life with the companionship of a service dog.
Because we all know how much help a dog can be!
The Liberty Dogs program is the creation of Northern Nevada residents Dave and Cheryl Duffield and is financially supported by the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation.
This past Wednesday, K9 Partners and several of the Washoe County K9 Teams met at Consign Furniture to receive a donation to K9 Partners. Consign is one of our consistent donors and we are so grateful for their continued support. Even with the rough times we have all gone through over the past two-and-a-half years, support for the K9s have enabled K9 Partners to continue to assist with necessary equipment and training to keep our communities safe. Thank you so much.
Here’s a few pictures from Wednesday:
