Angus for Mayor 2011!

7/24/11: Angus was finally adopted!!!!!!!!


My husband helped me write this fun bio!!!!

Hello, Denver!  My name is Angus & I'm a Shar Pei mix who has decided to throw my collar into the ring as the 11th candidate for mayor in this great city of ours!  Why might I make a good leader?  Well, I've been around these parts for my entire 6-year life & believe I have an insider's view on many "hot topics".  You see, I was initially adopted from MaxFund as a puppy (I've grown to 55-lbs since then) but was relinquished to another Denver-area shelter earlier this year.  Fortunately, they were able to trace me back to MaxFund where I have launched my campaign for mayor!  Here is my stance on pertinent issues facing our city...

Education: I was fortunate to have received a great education in my youth. I follow most commands and have learned to obey the rules. While I support the education of my young human counterparts, I probably would do best not living with them during their younger years. I like to stick with adult issues as part of my platform.

Parks and Recreation: I am PRO WALKS through and through! Playing in the yard & walking the neighborhood on a leash are some of my favorite things to do---especially when I get to meet voters! In fact, I'm so enthusiastic to meet voters that I have jumped 4 ft. fences to get into the community. Therefore, a 6 ft. fence is a must!

Community Relations: I love other dogs, but have little experience with cats & other animals. I would probably do best being elected to a "dogs only" political district, although I'm open to meeting felines if they're part of your family. 

Environment: I love my environment & have a solid track record of respecting my family's indoor environment (in other words, I always make sure to relieve myself outside)!

I will be hosting a daily meet-and-greet at my temporary home at MaxFund.  All potential constituents of mine are invited to come visit.  Angus for Mayor 2011!

June 8, 2011 Update: I'd like to pass along my congratulations to Michael Hancock - your choice to represent Denver for the next four years. Please keep my platform in mind & I hope we can all work together to make Denver a better city for *all* its citizens!
