About SNWDA
The Southern Nevada Working Dog Association is an all-volunteer organization dedicated to supporting active
and retired working dogs throughout Southern Nevada. These dogs serve, or have served, in the interest of
public safety, including law enforcement, detection, security, search and rescue, and other working dog
roles that help protect our communities.
As SNWDA refocuses its mission and moves forward as a nonprofit organization, our primary purpose is to
assist working dogs and their handlers with extraordinary veterinary and medical expenses. Many of these
dogs spend their careers protecting people, securing public spaces, detecting threats, and serving the
community. When they face serious medical challenges, we believe they deserve support.
SNWDA is operated entirely by dedicated volunteers. No funds are used to compensate our volunteers.
Donations and resources are directed toward supporting the medical care, welfare, and dignity of active and
retired working dogs that have served Southern Nevada.
