Barks and Badges supports Washoe County K9 Partners, a local non-profit who provide invaluable support to the Sheriff's Office K9s.  Support from K9 Partners is support coming from the community. That's why the Sheriff's Office considers Barks and Badges to be such a wonderful opportunity for families to meet the dogs and the Deputies assigned to the K9 unit and see live demonstrations that show the dogs in action.

Everyone is invited to this unique opportunity to learn more about your Sheriff's Office K9 team, while supporting them through Washoe County K9 Partners. For more information, visit Washoe County K9 Partners online at k9partners.org, or on Facebook.
