Many thanks to Consign Furniture for hosting a K9 Meet and Greet last Friday and for inviting us to participate in their Trunk or Treat event! We had a great time meeting people and seeing everyone in their costumes. Some were so imaginative. Consign Furniture is one of our deeply appreciated supporters and also an outlet for our calendars and mugs.
Here’s a few pictures from the Meet and Greet from 3 pm to 5 pm. Click on each image to see the larger photo.

Over the weekend, a few of us went to Carson City to watch our Washoe County K9s compete against other K9 units in Northern Nevada. It was a warm day and everyone was in good spirits, especially our dogs. Here’s the report from the Sheriff’s Office along with some photos of the day.
Five of our Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9 teams and ten other Northern Nevada K9 units participated in today’s second annual K9 Unit Challenge at Fuji Park in Carson City.
The competition consisted of three challenges: detection, patrol, and obstacle/agility, where Deputy Grulli and K9 Jett, Deputy Evans and K9 Odin, Deputy Lynch and K9 Ace, Deputy Tittensor and K9 Brutus, and Deputy Locke with K9 Otto showcased their skills.
The competition provided a great opportunity for multiple agencies to come together, collaborate, and gain knowledge from one another while exhibiting the exceptional abilities of the region’s K9s and their handlers to the community.
Join us in congratulating Deputy Tittensor and K9 Brutus for a 3rd place finish in narcotics detection!

Four of us from K9 Partners had a wonderful time talking to people and telling them about our organization at the annual picnic in Incline Village. What a beautiful day and what great folks were there. We were located right next to our three K9 units, so we had the opportunity to get several really nice photos of them. And we premiered our 2024 K9 Calendar at this event. Thanks so much to everyone who stopped by, chatted, and donated to us.
A few pictures from the event are below.
Our K9 calendars are going on sale on Monday, September 25. A new announcement will be going up tomorrow with locations in Reno where you can pick up your calendar for just a $20 donation.

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.

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.
