Babs

2/5/11: Babs went home with her New Family!


Babs was brought in over New Year's weekend.  So, I tried to tie in the New Year with her bio.  She looks like she might have some dal in her (this is just my opinion...nothing in her chart says dal) so I'm a little drawn to her ;)

   

2011 is going to be my year!  Hello there - my name is Babs and I'm a 2 year-old, 55 lb Boxer/border collie mix.  In my short few years, I've never been fortunate enough to experience the stability, trust and comfort of a good family - but I just know that the tide will turn in 2011!  Here's what MaxFund does know about my history: I was in a very high kill shelter and was "rescued" by someone who had WAAAAY too many dogs in her home.  She had good intentions but wasn't able to care for us all.  Therefore, I moved to another shelter and was adopted by a family in the Fall of 2010.  Unfortunately, they didn't have time to care for me properly.  Lucky for me, they brought me to MaxFund where I am confident that I will be matched with MY Family!

I am a very, VERY cute pup - with my beautiful, sleek, black coat, white face and even some spots!  As I'm still a rather young gal, I really love to play - fetch, tug-of-war, toys...you name it and I love it!  I'm oh-so-grateful when people pay me any sort of attention and I can get REEEEALLY excited!  Although I know basic obedience commands ("sit" and "come" among them), I'll need some patience, guidance and training to learn how YOU expect me to behave (I've had so many mixed messages in my many "homes".)  I've lived with cats before and think they're just fine.  However, I'd probably prefer to be the only dog-type in your home - I've had my fill of living with other dogs in my short two-year life!  I've lived with older kids (as young as 9-years) and enjoyed their company - but MaxFund isn't aware if I've ever been around younger kids.  If you have younger kids around your family, MaxFund can help us all decide if we'd be a good match together!

I've met many 4-legged friends on my journey and have heard rumors that there are people out there who will welcome me into their home and family FOREVER!  I find this concept AMAZING and am committed to finding those SPECIAL people quickly!  Are you that person?  If you're in the neighborhood, I'd love to get to know each other on a walk.  I'll be oh-so-thankful for any visitors.  When I trot out of MaxFund into YOUR home, I wish more than anything that the match is FOREVER!  Cheers to 2011!
