K9 Partners had a wonderful turnout on Saturday for the Meet and Greet with Washoe County’s gorgeous dogs and their deputy partners. Thank you so much to Consign Furniture for hosting this fun event.
Our deep thanks also to Country Financial Insurance and their representative Eric Herzberg for this wonderful donation to K9 Partners.
We’re getting set-up at Bartley Ranch in the wee early hours this morning to welcome you to our family fun day at Barks and Badges. Lots will be happening beginning at 9:30 am, so come out in the cooler part of the day to meet our K9s and see some great demonstrations of how the dogs help protect the community.
We have great vendors, information booths, and food trucks. We have a whole area of games for the kids, so come on down! Be sure to stop by the K9 Partners booth and say hello. We’ll be here until 2:00 pm today!
We just finalized the K9 demonstration scheduled for this weekend’s Barks and Badges event. If you want to see one of these demos specifically, be sure to be at Bartley Ranch a little early to get a good viewing spot.

We are one week away from our annual (except last year) Barks and Badges event. Come out to meet our dogs and get a close up view of our two new K9s, Ava and Odin. Entry to the event is FREE and it’s great for the whole family. We’ll have lots of games for the kids and demonstrations of various scenarios the dogs are asked to handle.
We’ll also have information booths, food trucks, face painting, and other vendors with interesting and unique ideas. A mobile library will also be there along with the Nevada Deportment of Wild Life Bear Dogs.
Check out the list of Vendors to see who will be joining us. We will have a vendor map up toward the end of this week and possibly a schedule.
Bartley Ranch is located off Lakeside Blvd. to the South. Turn left on Bartley Ranch Rd and then right into the entrance to cross the bridge.
Many thanks to our terrific sponsors Lithia Subaru Reno and Consign Furniture for helping to make this event possible.
