Country Dog meets City Boy!

Chris with his new jogging buddy!
Chris moved to Lexington from Seattle.   As an avid runner, he recently realized that he needed to find a jogging partner to keep him motivated.  So he searched the internet.   That's when he discovered Milla on our PetFinder site.  One look at this sweet little pooch, and Chris knew that he found the perfect companion to join him on the road to a healthier lifestyle!

The day this lucky puppy was adopted!
Dogs can be great exercise partners!  They yearn for daily exercise, and so you can be assured that they will always be ready for a run!  A daily physical workout also helps a dog stay mentally focused, plus it is known to relieve stress, boredom, and hyperactivity.  Without a daily outlet, unfocused energy in a dog can build up until it manifests into a nervous or destructive manner (such as digging holes, chewing, or tearing up objects).  Dogs need exercise, and so do people!  Its great to have that built-in commitment in a pet.      

Milla was shy and timid at first, but Chris was very willing and patient with her to gain her trust.   Milla has since been renamed Roxy, and she's already very loyal to her new running buddy.  We are so glad she found a home with such a responsible and excited owner!  We're sure her heart will be healthy and happy for years to come.

  1. My dog Leo is keeping our family in good health. Me and Leo walk daily, and now my brother's have started walking him as well! So Leo is getting a ton of fresh air and exercise! He is noticeably different when he doesn't walk. He wants to dig holes in the back yard to get his energy out!
