RECOGNITION OF MS. SUE DILLON, FOUNDER AND PRESIDENT OF TAIL'S END FARM 
                             ANIMAL RESCUE

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, it is at this time that I would 
like to recognize Ms. Sue Dillon for her efforts as founder and 
president of Tail's End Farm Animal Rescue. Ms. Dillon started this 
organization to save horses from going to slaughter and focused on 
finding them good homes.
  In 1993, she realized that there were no organizations or facilities 
in Pennsylvania to accommodate homeless farm animals needing shelter. 
Consequently, in order to save the lives of these animals, Ms. Dillon 
decided that she would take on the challenge of providing a safe haven 
for these animals. In 1996, she discovered that she needed to turn her 
facility into a full-scale, no-kill, animal facility. She obtained a 
non-profit status, the correct licences and opened her doors to cats, 
dogs, and any other homeless animals.
  Although Ms. Dillon has volunteers to run the farm, help with 
adoption, and other facets of the operation, she remains to be a huge 
part of the Rescue. She continues to be actively involved with the 
everyday operations of the organization.
  I would like to take this opportunity to recognize Sue Dillon in 
taking the lead to provide a safe haven for many of these animals. She 
is an exemplary citizen, and I applaud her efforts on this 
issue.
