Formally established in 2011, 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.

K-9 Friends has had the privilege of helping the DCSO K-9 Unit purchase eleven new dogs and provide them with world-class training, plus an array of specialized equipment, gear, toys, and more. Our work even goes beyond the call of duty as we continue to support retired K-9s and provide them with the best veterinary care possible to live out the rest of their years. See the complete list of what K-9 Friends has accomplished since its inception.

We couldn’t have done any of this without the generosity and kindness of folks just like you. Your contribution to K-9 Friends – no matter how small – makes a big difference for our heroes, their safety and the security of our community. Please join us!
