  Mr. CARBAJAL. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize Jill Anderson for 
her Congressional Women of the Year Award and for all the incredible 
work she does to improve the quality of life on the Central Coast.
  Ten years ago, Jill Anderson and her husband founded Shadow's Fund, 
an organization to help find homes for senior and difficult-to-adopt 
dogs. Starting the organization with only a few dogs, they have now 
grown to caring for 42 dogs on-site and even more in foster homes. 
Along the way they established a sanctuary for those dogs, as well as 
pigs and wild horses. Jill has developed programs in the Lompoc 
community working with local residents on dog ownership, as well as 
bringing the community to their sanctuary. She also created a program 
to rescue Pitbull puppies from backyard breeders, socialize and train 
them, and make them breed ambassadors. Jill works 60 to 70 hours a week 
as a volunteer for Shadow's Fund, It's an honor to recognize Jill's 
efforts to make the Central Coast a more humane place for animals and a 
happier place for its residents.
