Rescue Runners is a program initiated in El Paso, TX, to recruit volunteers to help run and walk shelter dogs. The shelter environment is a very stressful place, so getting the dogs out for some fun and exercise provides enrichment, and allows for improvement in social skills. The outing also allows the dogs an opportunity to showcase their personality outside of the kennel, which can help promote fostering and adoptions.

Signing up is easy!
