Don Kremer takes over as the Cheyenne Animal Shelter's new chief executive officer effective February 11th, 2019.

Kremer was selected after a national search to find a replacement for former CEO Bob Fecht.

"We conducted an intensive interview process and met with some very impressive candidates," said CAS Board Chair Tammy Maas. "In the end, it was obvious that Don combined the experience, integrity, communication skills and leadership qualities we were looking for. We are excited about his vision for CAS and confident that he is the right leader at the right time for this organization. We also sincerely thank Phil Kiner for his outstanding work as interim-CEO over the past several months."

Kremer is currently an animal control officer with the shelter. He is is also Pastor of Sun Valley Community Church, the founder and CEO of World Missionary Outreach and a former Lander Police Officer.

"I am honored to be chosen by the Board to lead Cheyenne Animal Shelter," said Kremer. "The past few months have been challenging for CAS but we are excited about the opportunity to move the organization forward. We have an outstanding staff of people who deeply care about the animals in our care and I can't wait to get started working with them to make CAS a place that everyone in Cheyenne can be proud of."

Kremer’s selection is one of several steps in the board’s plan to address the concerns of the City Council after a pepper spray incident last fall involving an 8-month-old dog.

Bob Fecht resigned last October over his role in that incident.
