FITZGERALD AUTO MALL HONORS SUPERHEROS OF THE HUMANE RESCUE ALLIANCE

February 8, 2022 (Rockville MD) Fitzgerald Auto Mall proudly presented Super Hero Awards to key members of the Humane Rescue Alliance (HRA). After two recent stories surfaced about worlds colliding, animals bringing people together, and a rescue mission that saved a life, Fitzgerald Auto Malls knew some special people (and animals) had to be recognized.

After Delores Bushong's cat Hank got out of the yard and found himself up a tree, the community came together to help them out. Over five days and four nights, Delores' neighbors and friends all pitched in and gave her support. When Delores called HRA, they jumped into action immediately, and news of the CAT-astrophe spread through their office. HRA med-tech Lydia Kressensky shared the idea to rescue Hank from the tree, and the HRA Field Services Division showed up with rope and basket in hand! Hank was successfully and safely brought down from the tree and into Delores' arms.

Earlier that month, Milo the beagle, who was adopted at a Fitzgerald Subaru pet event a year prior, saved his neighbor's life. Milo's owner Mikayla Swift, was preparing to take him for a walk, when she opened the door, Milo bolted and began scratching on the neighbor's door across the street. Milo's behavior confounded Mikayla, but when she caught up to him, she heard the faint cry for help from inside. 85-year-old Sherry Star had fallen and could not get up, pinned next to the bathtub. Mikayla quickly called the fire department, and Sherry Star is alive and well today because Milo was the only one who could hear her.

Lisa LaFontaine, CEO of HRA, closed out the celebration with remarks reminding people that HRA finds solutions to both big and small problems, from providing direct care to animals in crisis to tackling systemic barriers to affordable, pet-friendly housing.

Dottie Fitzgerald, who hosted the event at Fitzgerald Subaru, said, "Today we honor the hero's you never see that are behind the scenes. Thank you for all you do." Honorees along with Hank and Milo were presented with certificates and gift baskets for their service.

Recognized: Lydia Krassensky (Med tech at HRA), Lauren Crossed, Ellen Kurland and Stormy Farr, (Field Service Officers, HRA), Mikayla Swift, Milo, and Hank.
