Whereas the Cheyney State College Wolves basketball team 
made history in 1978 when they defeated the team from 
the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay with a score of 
47–40 in Springfield, Missouri, bringing home the 
school’s first national championship victory; 
Whereas just as the victorious 2018 Super Bowl Champions 
Philadelphia Eagles defied all the odds to prove that un-

number-1-ranked University of Wisconsin-Green Bay 
team in the 1978 NCAA Division II Basketball Cham-
pionship game; 
Whereas Coach John Chaney was the NCAA Division II

Coleman, All-American Milt Colston, Tournament MVP 
Andrew Fields, Kenny Hinson, Jeffrey Hutcherson, 
Roger Leysath, Gerald Mills, Charles Murphy, Gilbert

Whereas increased knowledge and awareness of animal rescue 
programs throughout the United States will significantly 
reduce the number of cats and dogs euthanized and re-
duce the number of animals returned to a shelter who 
have been rescued; 
Whereas loving families welcome pets to their new ‘‘forever 
home’’ every day, but more adoption is needed; 
Whereas lowering the number of animals in need of rescue, 
by spaying and neutering, can help alleviate the over-
crowding of our Nation’s shelters; 
Whereas years of animal abandonment has left thousands of 
homeless pets in overpopulated shelters and rescues; 
Whereas a ‘‘National Animal Rescue Day’’ would encourage 
the rescue of animals like Winslow, a basset hound who 
spent his first 8 months of life starved and confined in 
a cage so small that his rear legs were unable to fully de-
velop and then was placed in multiple shelters before 
being adopted into a loving home; and 
Whereas the first Saturday in October would be an appro-
priate day to designate as ‘‘National Animal Rescue 
Day’’ to be celebrated through adoption events, festivals, 
and charitable giving which will increase revenues for 
shelters and pet adoptions: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the designation of a ‘‘National Animal Rescue Day’’ to 
create awareness for animal rescue programs throughout 
the year and address the challenge of overpopulation 
through continued spaying and neutering.
