We were saddened today to learn that K9 Rony has passed. He was a sweetheart of a dog and a favorite with the community. The Sheriff’s Office posted this earlier today:

The Washoe County Sheriff’s Office honors the life and service of retired K9 Rony. K9 Rony was a beloved member of the WCSO K9 team and bravely served our community for six years alongside his partner, retired Sergeant Jason Wood.

K9 Rony was dual-certified in narcotics detection, patrol work, tracking, and article searches. During his service, he participated in countless community and school events and was well known and loved for his gentle disposition.

Rony was a cherished member of his family and will be greatly missed.
Rest easy, K9 Rony; we honor your tremendous service to our community.

“Born to love, trained to serve, loyal to the end.”
