GLOUCESTER, MA—As recuperation from the March 4th, Pleasant St. fire continues, Cape Ann Animal Aid (CAAA) honors Detective Steve Mizzoni and Firefighter Daryl Wonson for their heroic efforts at the scene. The law firm of Schlichte and Johnstone was greatly affected by the fire and the neighboring Raymond Agler Gallery suffered significant water and smoke damage as well. It was in this gallery that Mizzoni and Wonson rescued gallery owner Agler and partner Jack Carter’s cat Lulu.
Cape Ann Animal Aid presented the Humane Hero Award to both Mizzoni and Wonson in appreciation and gratitude for their actions on March 4, 2011. Carter specifically thanked Detective Mizzoni for risking his own safety to rescue Lulu from the smoke-filled building. CAAA echoes this thanks and applauds him for the compassion and courage he showed.
“We recognize Steve Mizzoni and Daryl Wonson as humane heroes,” says Nancy Tarbox of CAAA, “and will commemorate this award with an honorary brick for them both at our new shelter.”
CAAA’s Buy a Brick Program allows donors to purchase a personalized brick to add to the new walkway or entryway of The Christopher Cutler Rich Animal Shelter. This new shelter, which is currently under construction, will be located at 4 Paws Lane in Gloucester.
For more information on the new shelter and the Buy a Brick Program please visitwww.capeannanimalaid.com or call the shelter at 978-283-6055.
Cape Ann Animal Aid is a non-profit, no kill organization dedicated to facilitating appropriate placement of adoptable animals and enhancing the lives of all companion animals by promoting respect and well-being through education and outreach.
