Every Friday afternoon, members of the Ruff Runners Club run the extra mile, literally to support shelter dogs on Davis County.

They take them on "sniff about" outings, which gives them a break from their kennels.

Animal Care of Davis County Director Michelle Hicks says those breaks are vital in reducing stress, improving dogs' health, wellbeing and behavior and provides positive human interaction.

The Ruff Runners is a dog-friendly community dedicated to getting shelter pups healthy exercise.
