Branch County Animal Control

Mission

The mission of the Branch county Animal Control is to strive to improve the quality of life and safety for both humans and animals by protecting and serving the residents of Branch County. This will include the enforcing of state and county laws as well as promoting and providing when possible, education on pet care and responsibility. We will also provide a safe environment in the Branch county Animal Shelter for the holding of strays for both Branch and Hillsdale counties.

The Branch County Animal Control Facebook fan page was created by the Sheriff's Office to facilitate the exchange of information with the public at large. To promote such exchange the department encourages and welcomes postings and comments from the general public about issues related to law enforcement in the Branch County area. With that said, however, the Sheriff's Office reserves the right to regulate the content of, and where necessary delete completely, any objectionable entry that appears on its fan page. The Branch County Sheriff's Office is responsible for monitoring all postings to its page and may take appropriate action whenever necessary, and at its sole discretion, to protect other fan page visitors from inappropriate or otherwise harmful information and links.
To that end, the Branch County Sheriff's Office will remove as soon as feasible any posting that involves:
• Advertisements of any kind.
• Profane language or content.
• Content that promotes, fosters, or perpetuates discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, age, religion, gender, marital status, status with regard to public assistance, national origin, physical or mental disability, or sexual orientation.
• Explicit or implied sexual content.
• Conduct implying, promoting, or encouraging illegal activity.
• Information that might compromise the safety or security of the public.
• Any other posting that, by its nature or content, might harm public welfare.
