Our mission is to enforce the dogs laws in Franklin County and keep the public safe from animal-related health or safety dangers.

We respond to service requests, impound dogs, file criminal charges, make court appearances, assist the police in cases involving dogs, investigate animal bites and livestock attacks.

We provide compassionate care for impounded animals, as well as adoption and lost dog services to the community. We also educate the public and teach pet owners to be more responsible citizens.
