It wouldn’t be a stretch to say that Kim Krueger has been at the forefront of one of the largest facelifts in the Huron area.
For the past 22 years, the 47-year-old Krueger has served as the executive director of the Beadle County Humane Society, located south of Huron on Highway 37.
“The Humane Society is charged with providing a safe haven for the homeless animals — mostly cats and dogs — in Huron and the area,” Krueger said.
The BCHS provides animal control services on a call-by-call basis for the area as well, and is the first call for local authorities when there are abandoned animals.
As the executive director, Krueger manages a staff of two full-time and three part-time employees, as well as a small army of volunteers.
