Alexandria Pet Of The Week: A Border Collie To Be Your Fitness Partner

ALEXANDRIA, VA — If you have a goal of staying in shape, perhaps a furry friend is all you need to motivate you.

Mckenzie, a 2-year-old Border Collie mix, is one of the available pets from the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria. She could be your own personal fitness coach, accepting walks and play time as payment. Border Collies need plenty of exercise, so she'd love to accompany you on walks, hikes or fetch in the backyard.

Mckenzie, 2-year-old Female Black and White Border Collie Mix

Mckenzie is ready to sign on as your personal trainer! Are you looking for something - or someone - to keep you active as we approach the cool fall months? Look no further than Mckenzie. This 2-year-old ball of energy would love the opportunity to help you meet your fitness goals, whether they are walking, running, hiking or just repetitively tossing a tennis ball over and over again - Mckenzie's here to help. But this sweet border collie mix knows that working out is not so much about the pain, it's about the gain, and she is ready to help you celebrate your every milestone, with snuggles, happy dances and squeaky toy serenades. After all, what use is a personal trainer if they don't give you the support you need? Mckenzie is currently open to new clients and would love to meet you to learn more about your fitness goals. To set up an appointment with her, contact her people by calling 703.746.4774 (opt. 2) or emailing Adopt@AlexandriaAnimals.org, and get ready to make your fitness dreams a reality!
