FOX 32s Scott Schneider cages himself for West Suburban Humane Society fundraiser

FOX 32s Scott Schneider spent an hour inside a kennel to raise funds and challenge misconceptions surrounding a misunderstood dog breed.

DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. - FOX 32's Scott Schneider on Thursday participated in a unique fundraising event called "Caged for a Cause" organized by the West Suburban Humane Society, demonstrating his support for animals in need.

Schneider, a volunteer at the West Suburban Humane Society in Downers Grove for nearly nine years, spent an hour inside a kennel to raise funds and challenge misconceptions surrounding a misunderstood dog breed.

During the event, Schneider highlighted Rennie, an American Staffordshire Terrier mix who has been at the shelter for two years without finding a permanent home. Through Instagram, Schneider showcased Rennie's gentle nature, aiming to dispel myths about the breed.

"Caged for a Cause" has already raised over $15,000, with all proceeds dedicated to the care of the shelter's dogs and cats.
