In this episode of the Stix & Stuff Podcast, host Tom Crawford sits down with Jono “Big Cat” Agurto—retired detective, insurance exec, and co-founder of Ellijay Paws in Need.
From earning the Silver Medal for Bravery in law enforcement to raising over $100,000 through the Lasagna Cook-Off at Buckley Vineyards, Jono shares his journey of service, community impact, and love for “pittie” rescue dogs.
He and his wife Ashley (“Blondie”) have transformed shelter life in Gilmer County—ensuring every dog is walked daily and building new play yards through grassroots fundraising. Beyond animals, Jono also champions causes like Meals on Wheels, Tunnel to Towers, and Neurofibromatosis awareness. Special thanks to Buckley Vineyards for letting us record this conversation at their beautiful winery.
