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.

5 Days to Barks & Badges!

This year’s Barks and Badges is coming up in just five more days on Saturday, May 14th! The weather forecast looks good for the day, so it will be a great day to come out to see the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9s, their handles, and all the other great First Responders who will be at our event. We’ll also have games for the kids, vendors and exhibitors to visit and of course, great demos from the K9s!

K9 Partners will be at the booth and we have new T-shirts in all sizes from little kidlets to big adults. Take a peak at the new colors! These shirts will not be sold online, only at our events. So come see us!
