On Thursday, Sheriff Dennis Quakenbush along with Animal Control Deputy Doug Sanford presented a Recognition Award to local volunteer, Kherri Clements, for her invaluable service to Hamilton County’s Animal Control Division.
Kherri is a former case manager for Friends of Indianapolis Dogs Outside (FIDO) and remains committed to her freelance work on behalf of animals throughout the area. Kherri remains in constant contact with Deputy Sanford, regarding information on loose or stray dogs in the community that have proven to be a challenge for local authorities to catch and rescue.
“Kherri has done significant work in this county and has apprehended an enormous amount of these “uncatchable” dogs that are either roaming free, feral, or simply lost, scared and don’t wish to be approached by humans. The service she has provided Animal Control in this county, is highly commendable and is a large factor in the excellent animal welfare environment Hamilton County has,” said Deputy Sanford.
“Kherri has been a huge help and asset to our agency and the citizens of Hamilton County. She has a true heart for service,” said Sheriff Quakenbush.
