                  HONORING ANIMAL EDUCATION AND RESCUE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBERT J. DOLD

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 23, 2015

  Mr. DOLD. Mr. Speaker, April is Prevention of Cruelty to Animals 
Month, so I would like to take this opportunity to rise in recognition 
of Animal Education and Rescue, a humane society in the 10th District. 
Founder and director Sandy Wisniewski has dedicated herself to 
improving the lives of both animals and people in our community.
  Ms. Wisniewski works to prevent cruelty to animals by educating the 
public through school and community center visits. Her curriculum 
emphasizes the need to properly care for pets. She understands the 
strong correlation between animal abuse and other violent crimes, and 
she seeks to break the cycle of violence through education. As a humane 
investigator, Ms. Wisniewski responds to reports of animal abuse and 
neglect. She often rescues these neglected animals and places them with 
foster families until they find permanent homes. Her work is vital to 
our community.
  Mr. Speaker, in honor of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Month, I am 
pleased to recognize AEAR and Ms. Wisniewski. I am grateful for their 
work and wish them continued success.
