Our next club meeting is Sunday, January 6th at 1:30 at the Woodinville Library.  All our invited.

Members of the NW K9 Sniffers Board attended the races at Emerald Downs on August 5th to watch the inaugural running of the NW K9 Sniffers Purse. 

The winning horse was Justitia ridden by jockey Eswan Flores.

Thanks to the awesome raffle items and generous support by our members at many events in 2018, the club was able to donate $4635.00 to the Prodigious Fund.  The Prodigious Fund’s mission is to recognize and support positive efforts made within the Thoroughbred aftercare community for the re-homing, promotion, and care of retired racehorses.  The Prodigious Fund is a 501(c)(3) organization making a huge difference in the live of many Thoroughbreds as they transition to their second careers.

Accepting the club’s donation check is Jack Hodges, Vice President of Emerald Downs.  In recognition of the club’s fundraising efforts, on August 5th a horse race will be named the NW K9 Sniffers Purse.  Many club members will be attending the races on this day, so everyone is invited!

The next club meeting is July 8th at 1:30 at the Woodinville Library.

The club’s Annual business meeting will take place April 22nd at the Sno-Valley Sr. Center.  Check your e-mails for additional details.

Come help us plan the club activities for 2018!

Way to go Sniffers!  Thanks to everyone who brought a raffle basket and bought tickets at the Holiday party.  Between the dollars raised at the party, direct donations made by club members and our matching program the Sniffers raised over $1,600.00 for Old Dog Haven.

Two of our club members recently traveled to Massachusetts to participate in the 2017 NACSW Invitationals.  Vicky Lovejoy with her Aussie Kendra and Karen Dunlop and her GSD Uschi both were invited to this prestigious annual event.  Way to go to both of these Northwest K9 Sniffers’ members and their awesome pups on their great accomplishments!

In keeping with the Sniffers belief in giving back to our community,we will be holding a RAFFLE to raise funds for Old Dog Haven in Lake Stevens at the Holiday Party on December 17th. You can find out more about this very deserving rescue organization on their main homepage at: http://olddoghaven.org.

Can’t attend the holiday party but want to contribute to the fundraiser? You can donate directly to Old Dog Haven using this link:
https://co.clickandpledge.com/sp/d1/default.aspx?wid=64969 The club will match the money raised up to $750, so if you donate directly to ODH, be sure to send a copy of your donation receipt to lupea81050@gmail.com so the club can match your donation. Last year we raised almost $600 through our fundraiser and matched that amount. Our goal this year is to raise $750!  Your generous support allows Old Dog Haven to continue their valuable rescue work they do for senior dogs in the Pacific Northwest.

The Holiday Season is here, and that means special opportunities to get together with friends and family for fun and festivities! Our 4th annual Northwest K9 Sniffers Holiday Party is scheduled for Sunday, December 17th at the Sno-Valley Senior Center in Carnation, from 11:00 to 3:00. If you can’t come for the whole time, please feel free to come when you can.
