Pick out your new running buddy at IMHS! We've got many great dogs to choose from so start the new year off right & keep that commitment to get in better shape by adopting TODAY!
Top 10 reasons to run with a dog:
- it keeps the mountain lions off your tail
- dogs don't judge your running form, it's all about the fun of being out together
- running fries about 100 calories per mile (even more if you run in the mountains!)--more than any other aerobic exercise
- you'll be your own biggest hero and the light of your dog's life, too--you've nearly achieved celebrity status!
- no one will notice your unflattering running shorts, they'll all be looking at your cute dog
- lower your blood pressure and relieve stress at the same time
- endorphins, endorphins, endorphins!--running elevates your mood!
- dogs keep you motivated- they always want to go out, even when your human buddy wants to sleep in
- you can eat carbs without the guilt, it's now called "fueling up" for the run
- you'll get the best sleep of your life
Lace up and head over to IMHS! We've got a blue heeler, border collies, Labradors, and some terrific one-of-a-kinds waiting here on stand-by as your personal trainer and best work-out buddy ever! We're open 7 days a week for adoptions.
