The 2016 Gala was the most successful since the charity’s founding in 2011.
And the excitement continues. You can still contribute to the K-9 Unit by making a one-time donation.

The 6th Annual Howling Good Time
The 2016 Howling Good Time Gala was a welcome party for K-9 Colt, the newest addition to the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit. We also congratulated Todd Tucker for his promotion to Corporal (a first for the DCSO K-9 Unit) and recognized the service of two long-standing K-9 Friends board members, Jill Cooke and Deb Strachan. The evening’s presenters were K-9 Friends Chairman Dr. David Swieckowski and DCSO Undersheriff Holly Nicholson-Kluth.
All donations to K-9 Friends and proceeds from the Gala directly benefit the Douglas County Sheriff’s Office K-9 Unit. Training and safety gear are always at the top of the wish list for our K-9s, and ongoing medical care for retired dogs is essential.
