Junior Alex Rednak is asking the students at Law to take the time to donate and drop off dog food in the main lobby of the school. He explained why he is helping collect everything for the Milford Animal Shelter.

Emily Carroll: What made you decide to help the local dog shelter?

Alex Rednak: I love animals. Anything that involves helping them is what motivates me. I saw all of the dogs there and they looked so sad so I wanted to get some things together and do what I could to help.

EC: What other items are you collecting to bring to the shelter?

AR: Anything will help. Any food, treats, litter, and even beds or blankets can be donated.

EC: How many items are you trying to receive?

AR: To get as much as possible. As much as I can get to get them through the winter.

EC: How did you find out about the shelter?

AR: It was online on their Facebook page. I follow their page and they are always posting that they are taking donations.

EC: How does it make you feel taking the time to help the animals in need?

AR: I try as hard as I can to go once a week to visit them and see how they are doing. One of them I want to adopt. I am trying to convince my mom. I am extremely close with animals. I have a dog and two cats at home and thinking of them suffering makes me want to help those animals that much more.

EC: What are some ways for people who are interested to get involved?

AR: Well first, one way to help is to definitely donate. If someone wants to get involved they can visit the shelter and fill out the sheet to volunteer.

EC: What made you decide to bring this awareness to school?

AR: Since Bobo is a big part of this school, I knew that the school would allow me to do something like this. I want students to think about what it is like for those animals and really consider helping them.

EC: Do you have anything you would like to say to the students at Law?

AR: Just think about Bobo and if something like that was happening. To take in consideration that if you saw someone you love out on the street or starving you would want to take action and help.
