EXECUTIVE BOARD
Secretary Jeremy Huston
Sergeant Huston and K9 Sam of the Albany County WY Sheriff’s Office became a dual certified K9 team in 2016. For the past six years this team has successfully seized hundreds of pounds of illegal narcotics and several hundred thousand dollars in illegal proceeds. K9 Sam was forced to retire in 2022 due to medical issues. Sergeant Huston currently serves as the K9 Team Leader for Albany County WY.
Treasurer Joe Clingan
My name is Joe Clingan. I have been with the USPCA since 1980. I found that no other association could match the USPCA. The court recognition is the most powerful. When you go to court and the attorneys and judges see USPCA and you are already ahead of the game. Attorneys and judges alike know that to obtain certifications as a K-9 team, a K-9 judge or a K-9 trainer you have had to earn it. Like I said, since 1980, I have seen this region grow and I have seen the membership shrink. We are now in a growth period. I hope you will get on board. You will not regret it. If you have any questions, feel free to give me a call or an email.
