                        Thursday, April 28, 2016

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
the Foothills Animal Shelter for receiving the Golden Rotary Ethics in 
Business Award.
   The Ethics in Business Award was established by the Golden Rotary to 
honor for profit and non-profit businesses. The recipients of this 
award must maintain integrity, conviction and possess high ethical 
standards, demonstrated by treatment of customers, employees, community 
and the environment.
   Since its creation in 1976, the Foothills Animal Shelter (then known 
as the Jefferson Animal Center) has dedicated itself to providing the 
best possible care for every animal that comes through its doors. The 
organization cares for more than 9,500 animals every year and never 
turns an orphaned animal away. With the completion of its 33,000 square 
foot facility in 2010, the organization significantly improved care by 
adding a new medical suite to offer more on-site, cost-effective care 
and increasing the number of spays and neuters.
   Congratulations to the Foothills Animal Shelter for receiving this 
well-deserved honor by the Golden Rotary, and thank you to all the 
employees for their continued commitment to our community and the 
animals they serve.
