Remembrance

Our deepest condolences to the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office, and the Gibson family, for the loss of Deputy Adam Gibson. K9 Riley was also killed in this incident and we send sincere condolences to his family as well.

From yesterday, 02-03-2021
     Washoe County Sheriff’s Office K9 teams are honoring Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Adam Gibson. Today is his funeral.
     Deputy Harris and K9 Ava, Deputy Nemeth and K9 Titus, and Deputy Wike and K9 Zeke joined about 80 other K9 teams from all over the west to line the streets leading to Bayside Church in Roseville, where Deputy Gibson’s funeral will be held.
     His funeral was live streamed on KCRA ‘s Facebook page.

Our Mission Statement

Washoe County K9 Partners is a non-profit organization designed to help Washoe County, Nevada’s law enforcement dogs that serve and protect our communities with equipment, training, and medical needs.  This organization is not designed to take the place of any agency’s K9 budget, but to assist as needed.

All funds collected stay in our communities to help our K9s.  The Washoe County K9 Partners Board of Directors vet and approve all expenditures.

All donations are kept in a general fund that is used for approved expenses.  The only exceptions to this practice are for prior arrangements made for a donation earmarked for a specific purpose, such as the purchase and training of a K9 and handler.
