Amanda DiMarzio, Bethel - Observing wild cats in the neighborhood led Amanda to the Danbury Animal Welfare Society (DAWS), a volunteer-run animal shelter in her town.  To address animal abandonment, Amanda set forth a campaign to promote pet-owner responsibility, pet safety, adoption appeal, a shelter clean-up, and a collection drive to benefit the shelter.  She created a Pet ID booklet - complete with ID tags - to keep track of a pet's health history.  Pet ID booklets were distributed at a DAWS event and also donated to local veterinarians to be handed out for free.  Amanda graduated from Immaculate High School in 2007.
