                    HUMANE SOCIETY OF PULASKI COUNTY

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I congratulate staff 
members and volunteers of the Humane Society of Pulaski County as they 
celebrate the 10-

[[Page S6731]]

year anniversary of their current shelter. I commend them for reaching 
this milestone.
  The mission of the Humane Society of Pulaski County is to rescue, 
care for and find homes for abandoned, abused, homeless and unwanted 
animals. The group provides access to healthy animals for people 
seeking to adopt pets. In 2009, the Humane Society of Pulaski County 
adopted out almost 1,000 animals.
  The Humane Society of Pulaski County is supported solely by 
donations, fund-raisers, bequests and grants. The group has achieved a 
4-star rating from Charity Navigator, which means the smallest 
percentage of donations is allocated for administrative costs.
  As a part of the ``Puppy Love'' program, the Humane Society also 
works throughout the community, taking animals to visit residents of 
nursing homes, retirement centers, and women's shelters. Puppy Love 
makes approximately 40 visits to local facilities each year.
  Mr. President, I again congratulate the staff and volunteers of the 
Humane Society of Pulaski County as they celebrate this anniversary. I 
wish them the best in the years to come.
