What’s wonderful day celebrating Alexa’s Retirement! Special shout out to TCJFS staff member Nichole who has given years of service as her handler.

Join us in celebrating Alexa, our facility dog, in her retirement! Friday, October 23rd from Noon-2pm at Noah's Hope Child Advocacy Center. 🥰

For those who don't know, the dream to have a facility dog present with the children began with former Tuscarawas County Sheriff's Detective, Cathy Bickford and the former CAC director, Vanessa Stergios. Alexa has been with our team since September of 2017. Alexa was officially deputized and recognized as a member of the Tuscarawas Sheriff's Office shortly after. She has accompanied the forensic interviewers during countless interviews at Noah's Hope providing unconditional love and support to our most vulnerable children. Her calming presence has been the quiet strength children relied on when they were prepped for a trial and testified to intimate violations of their innocence. ❤️‍🩹

Alexa has nine years of faithful service to our county and children! We also want to send a huge thank you to her long time handler, Nichole Marie. Your dedication to Alexa and the children of Tuscarawas County does not go unnoticed! We can't thank you enough for the years you put into Alexa. 🥰

Alexa has been adopted by her handler and will continue to do what she does best at home with her sassy and sweet preschooler, play dress up.
