Pet Grocer is proud to support and shine a spotlight on the incredible work our local rescues do for our community. This month we have the pleasure of featuring podcast interviews with three local rescues an we are excited to help them get their message out.

Outrun Rescue

Outrun, co-founded by Emily Day in 2020, specializes in rehabilitating rescue dogs that face behavioural challenges, particularly those with aggression and anxiety issues. Emily's journey into dog training began after rescuing an aggressive dog named Zip, which inspired her to pursue formal education in applied animal behaviour at the University of Washington. With her extensive experience in the veterinary field and certifications like Karen Pryor and Fear Free, Emily is committed to helping overlooked dogs in shelters get the behavioural support they need to increase their chances of adoption.
