The Friends of Douglas County K-9 (K-9 Friends) is the only non-profit organization solely committed to the financial support of the Douglas County Sheriff's Office K-9 Unit. With the exception of deputy salaries and vehicles, the DCSO K-9 Unit is funded almost entirely by donations. Since 2011, K-9 Friends has had the privilege of helping the DCSO K-9 Unit purchase 12 new dogs, provide world-class training, and an array of specialized equipment. We also provide top-notch veterinary care to retired K-9s so they can live out the rest of their lives in the best possible health. As a 100% volunteer-run organization, including the board of directors, we ensure every donation directly impacts the K-9 Unit.
