K9 Unit Challenge 2022

From the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page:

Members of the WCSO K9 Unit along with other Northern Nevada K9 unit teams competed in the 2022 Inaugural K9 Unit Challenge in Carson City today. 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.

Groundbreaking for Liberty Dogs Campus

From the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office Facebook page:

Washoe County Sheriff Darin Balaam and members of the WCSO K9 Unit recently attended the groundbreaking of the new Liberty Dogs Campus.

The facility, which will be constructed south of downtown Damonte Ranch in Reno, will provide some of our nation’s veterans with a chance to lead a more fulfilling and independent life with the companionship of a service dog.

Because we all know how much help a dog can be!
The Liberty Dogs program is the creation of Northern Nevada residents Dave and Cheryl Duffield and is financially supported by the Dave & Cheryl Duffield Foundation.
