Speaking of celebrities, did you know...

...That Oleysa Rulin, one of the stars of High School Musical and High School Musical 2, loves dogs? She has fostered six dogs, and fell so in love with the last one that she adopted him. In an interview in Bleech Magazine, Rulin says "There is something beautiful in coming home to an animal that gives you unconditional love...always. Your pets can't lie to you...they don't care what you look like or if you showered that day...they just want your love."

If you know a teen or pre-teen, consider encouraging them to get involved with animal activism. Contact your local animal shelter to find out how children and teens can help. If Oleysa can do it, they can too!
