Several K9 Partners board members attended the promotion ceremony for Sgt. Zirkle on Monday, Feb. 24, 2021. While we congratulate him on his promotion to Lieutenant, we will miss him as he takes on his new duties. To show our appreciation, we presented Lt. Zirkle with a remembrance item for his assistance and patience with our organization. We wish him all the best in the next chapter of his career.
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.
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.
