Carolyn "Nicky" Ratliff

I started my career in Animal Welfare in 1972 and I have been Executive Director here at The Humane Society of Carroll County since June of 1982. Over the past 35 years I have had the good fortune of being able to work along side of some of the most dedicated and genuinely decent people imaginable. Being of service to the citizens of Carroll County as well as their animals gives me great personal pleasure and much satisfaction. This has been my Dream job and I love it!

Hi! I'm T.J. I have been part of the Carroll County Humane Society since March of 2002. I have a soft heart for the animals that come to our shelter. Since I am part of the Animal Care Staff, I have the opportunity to work with the animals. I really enjoy my work! It's great to see our animals be reunited with their families, OR be ADOPTED by a nice family, who will give their new pet the best love and care.

Linda Rinehart

Hi, I've been a part of the Humane Society since 1985. I am the Office Manager, but have worn "many hats" over the years. The opportunity to work with animals and animal related problems every day is very challenging and rewarding. Our staff is dedicated, competent and compassionate. The Humane Society of Carroll County is one of the finest facilities of its kind, and I am proud to be a part of it.

Jannie "Jane" Muller

Hi, my name is Jane. I started here in 1985 as an Animal Control Field Officer. I did that for 10 years. Since then I have relocated to the front office as a receptionist. Now my jobs are many. My main job is to enter dog license into our data base. I handle all lost and found reports and take animal related complaints over the phone for animal control. I also sign in animals as well as return animals to their owners. Most importantly I help educate the public in regards to animals.

Kelly Keiner

Hello. I am the Assistant Office Manager and Adoption Coordinator. I am responsible for making sure that everyone who adopts from the shelter gets their pets rabies shots and has them spayed or neutered. I also pickup the license that are sold throughout the county which is over 12,000 a year. I have been working at the shelter since January of 2003. I never imagined having a job that I truly enjoy coming to everyday. I love working with the animals and I have made many wonderful friendships.

Hi, I'm Brian Rupp, Chief Animal Control Officer. I've been with the Humane Society since April of 1988. I started as a field investigator to enforce county and state animal laws involving animal situations. For the past few years my duties are involved mostly in house working with the very capable staff and field officers. Here at the Humane Society all staff members truly do care about all animals. Please be kind to your pets.

Hi, my name is Mark and I have been a Animal Control Officer since October of 1990. I got in this field because I enjoy working with people & animals.

Bill Walkling

Hi there, my name is Bill and I have been working here for about a year and a half now. I clean kennels and help the staff as much as possible. I am retired, so I figured I could help out here. I also adopted my little dog, Tinkerbell from here. She is a real joy in my life, along with my wife and grandkids.

Hello. I have been volunteering at the Humane Society since 2000. I help out with paperwork in the office, and also record the stats on animals arriving here throughout the year. I thoroughly enjoy doing my small part for the organization, and I look forward to my weekly visits to the Humane Society.

By the way, I am not only a volunteer, but also the adopter of the best cat!
