A 14-year-old Boy Scout is raising money for a local animal rescue.

Robert Yardley of While Plains is raising money for Paws Crossed Animal Rescue in Elmsford. He says the money will go towards building an enclosed exercise structure for the animals.

Yardley says he is doing this in honor of his dog Louise, who passed away about a year ago.

Yardley will be at Choice Pet Store on North Central Avenue in Hartsdale Saturday afternoon to collect donations. He will also be collecting donations online.
