- Michigan, USA -
According to the Michigan State Police press release obtained by Voice For Us, on the morning of October 8, 2024, a trooper from the Michigan State Police Cadillac Post was called to a report of animals at large. Upon arrival at the scene the Trooper saw 61-year-old CAROLYN JEAN BRAUN (pictured), who was loading several dogs into a pickup truck.
The Trooper questioned BRAUN about it and she said she was taking the dogs “to a veterinary appointment downstate.” The Trooper asked which vet office and BRAUN provided the name.
However, when the Trooper called the vet, he learned that there was no appointment scheduled for BRAUN.
BRAUN told the Trooper she had eleven dogs but the Trooper counted them and realized there were eighteen dogs instead.
From an inspection of the premises, it emerged that the dogs “had been living [in] very poor conditions”, stated the release.
Manistee County Animal Control stepped in to remove all the furvictims.
After a report was turned over to the Manistee County Prosecutor's Office, a warrant was issued for BRAUN’s arrest and she was taken into custody at her property in Thompsonville.
During her arrest, another dog was located inside a large conversion van and the furvictim was turned over to Manistee County Animal Control.
BRAUN was arraigned in the 85th District Court in Manistee County on one count of abandoning/cruelty to animals, one count of stray dog, and one count of failing to keep dogs vaccinated. She was given a $2,500 bond.
BRAUN’s next court appearance is set for November 5, 2024, at 1:00 p.m.

Humans are failing animals right & left. I wager this monster was loading the blessed souls up to abandon them elsewhere. Thank goodness they were spared from that fate. I just pray they are not killed by the shelter for “room”. It happens so much in Texas! I truly wish mandatory spay/neuter was a thing in my state of Texas. This woman should be banned for life from ever being in the presence of animals. Bless these babies.
