Berrien County is seeking applications for a new Animal Control Director. Applications will be accepted until March 21, 2017. Animal advocates who attend all County Commission board meetings are pushing for a Compassionate Director which will institute Best Practices. Although the county has a new shelter, the design is more in line with a catch/kill design than 21st century needs. The shelter does not have sheltering software and, unlike most Michigan counties, still engages in wildlife damage and nuisance control. Transformational leadership is needed. The job description and directions can be found here. Note that many of the hiring requirements are subject to waiver.
