Great Barks and Badges Event Last Week!

Whew! We are finally recovering from last week’s Barks and Badges happening at Bartley Ranch. Were you there? Did you have a great time? Well, those of us in K9 Partners and our terrific volunteers certainly enjoyed meeting people and seeing our Washoe Country K9s go through their skills. Many thanks to Noah Bond from KOLO News, who announced our demonstrations and raffles! Greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all our donors for making this event possible and to the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office and the CERT and Wells Fargo volunteers. Thank you to all the vendors, first responders, and services who came out to participate and to all of our attendees. We couldn’t do it without you!

We do have pictures taken by Diana Lee, our vice president, and we’re happy to share some of those with you.

K9 Ava Lights Up Shop with the Sheriff event

On Tuesday, December 7th, over 200 Washoe County Sheriff Deputy Sheriffs, Sheriff’s Office employees, Washoe County Honorary Deputy Sheriffs, volunteers, family members and one K9 reindeer joined Sheriff Darin Balaam for the 19th Annual Shop with the Sheriff event.

This year, 250 children, escorted by volunteers, shopped at the Sparks Walmart Supercenter On Pyramid. Each child could spend up to $200 for family gifts. Funding for the event, totaling $50,000, was provided through the Washoe County Honorary Deputy Sheriff’s Association (WCHDSA) and through the inaugural WCHDSA Golf tournament. See the whole story at the WCSO website.

K9 Ava was the reindeer for the Shop with the Sheriff event.
