Community honors Alexis Hemby for exceptional service to working dogs

During a recent government meeting, the community came together to honor Alexis Hemby with the prestigious Citizen Recognition Award for her exceptional service and dedication. The event featured a heartfelt presentation, where attendees were invited to celebrate Hemby's contributions, particularly her work as a professional dog groomer at Bubbles and Bo's.

Hemby has made a significant impact on the community by providing grooming services to numerous dogs, with a special focus on working dogs. Her commitment extends to grooming therapy dogs from the Genoa Police Department, the Delaware County Sheriff's Office, and the BSTMG Fire District. Notably, she has been grooming these dogs every six to eight weeks, ensuring their well-being and readiness for service.

Her voluntary efforts not only showcase her dedication but also result in substantial savings for local departments, with costs ranging from $75 to $175 per grooming session. The recognition of Hemby's work highlights the importance of community service and the vital role individuals play in supporting local law enforcement and emergency services.
