Yes, I am a little late posting this, but luckily our Facebook Page and the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office covered it!
All of us at K9 Partners wish Jett a happy 8th birthday! We hope he had a great day with lots of treats and pets.
Today is K9 Ava’s 7th Birthday. Please join us in wishing our diva K9 a very special day.
And WCSO Birthday post!

Yes! Barks and Badges is still on although the bright sunny day is predicted to be HOT! Last time we checked, it will be around 84-degrees at 10 am when the gates open for the event. By 2 pm, it will be about 94 degrees. Of course, this is Reno, and those temps are subject to change at a moment’s notice!
Still, please plan for the hot weather. Wear light-colored clothing to reflect the heat, carry an umbrella or a sun hat to protect your skin, use sunscreen and bring plenty of water or be prepared to purchase drinks at the event. We will have three food trucks on the site, including the ice cream one! Make sure the kids have protection also. If you have hand-held and battery-operated personal fans, bring those.
While there is quite a bit of shade at the park, some of the events are in the arena where none is available, so please be prepared.
Do NOT bring any pets to the park during this event and don’t leave them in your car. It will be too hot!
If you are concerned about our WCSO K9s, they will not be out in the sun for any extended time and they have an air-conditioned vehicle to rest in between appearances.
We hope to see many of you there, so stop at the K9 Partners booth and say hello.
Our Washoe K9s are enjoying the holidays with their families, but they sent pictures. Enjoy these images and we wish you a Merry Christmas.
We are so thankful for the support of all of you in our mission to provide needed equipment and training for our Washoe County K9 teams. Have a wonderful day!
We’d like to remind you that we have the K9 license plates available at the Nevada DMV. You can use these on any vehicle that uses a Nevada plate, including motorcycles. For more information, click here.
We also have the 2025 Calendars available now for a $20 donation, plus $5 for shipping. Or you can pick one up at Scheels. Go here to order.
Hey, K9 lovers! A few of our Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9s will be at the Scheels store at Legends on Saturday, November 16 to greet all the lovely people who want to meet them. Rumor has it our newest K9 Maggie will be there.
K9 Partners will be set up with some merchandise including shirts, mugs, and our 2025 calendar right off the presses. This is the first opportunity to get a copy. Come say hi and meet the dogs!
Many thanks to Andi Cassinari and the News 2 team for giving our K9 License plates a boost. Thanks also to the Washoe County K9 unit for showing the dogs in action and talking about how valuable this training center will be to our community. We appreciate it so much.
To learn how to get your plate, go to this link at the Nevada DMV.
from this year’s Barks and Badges event! It’s this Saturday, June 1st at Bartley Ranch in South Reno, Nevada! We’ll have some of our K9s and horses plus a lot of other Washoe County services on display. Several vendors will be displaying their wares and we will have food trucks! So, bring the family to look around, learn about the various services, and watch demonstrations. No entry fee to attend, but please leave your pets at home. Event runs from 10 am to 2 pm.
Please stop by the K9 Partners booth and say hi! We have 2024 Tee-shirts, K9 mugs, including the new ones and a few of the retired K9s, plus new souvenir license plates for sale. The plates for your vehicles are available from the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles. Hope to see y’all on Saturday!
We are thrilled to announce the K9 License Plates are now for sale through the Nevada DMV! This has been a long road and we’re so excited to see our great looking plate ready to ride on your car or truck or whatever vehicle you chose to show your support for the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9s.
As announced earlier, all proceeds from the sale of these specialty plates will go toward the building of a training facility in Reno. This building will help to improve the high quality skills of our K9s and others within the region.
To get your plate now or when you renew your plates, go to your local DMV and ask for the K9 Specialty Plate. It should be displayed on their wall. It will look like the photo above.
