Sadie

Update: Sadie is in foster :)


Sweetie.

Got ball?  ....or anything I can fetch for that matter?  My name is Sadie and my favorite activity is fetching!  At 41-lbs and 9-years young, I'm an active, playful Australian Shepherd who cannot wait to meet my Forever Family!

I was brought into MaxFund with my canine buddy (Sydney) when our previous guardian could no longer care for us.  Unfortunately, I have spent most of my life as an outside dog so I have yet to experience all that family life has to offer.  But, despite my surroundings, I'm a gentle, friendly gal who is great with all people, dogs and cats (did you hear that?!?  I'm good with cats!!)  I've ever met.  As I've spent my life outdoors, I haven't learned what is expected of an indoor dog...with that said, I'm a *very* smart girl who should quickly pick up on any new training, commands or whatever else you expect of me!  And, even though I am rather active, I know when it's time to stop, drop and relax (unlike those silly puppies!)  

While I'm quite easy on the eyes, I must mention my most unique feature.  I'm missing the tip of my left ear!  This occurred several years ago during a particularly rough-and-tumble play session with my canine buddies.  Don't worry - it's completely healed and I don't even remember it's missing until I cross paths with a mirror (hee! hee!) 

Are you that special someone looking to welcome a GREAT GAL into your home?  Well...what are you waiting for?  Your newest addition is just waiting at MaxFund for YOU...just remember to ask for Sadie!

Rascal

12/20/11: Rascal was adopted!


Big, sweet guy

"You little Rascal?!?"  Howdy!  I'm Rascal - a fantastic 95-lb yellow lab who hasn't heard those words for a while since I'm such a great guy!  I was relinquished to MaxFund as my former guardian became ill and could no longer care for me.  While I'm a little confused with all the life changes, I've seen several of my canine neighbors trot out of here with their new Forever Families and I'm dreaming of the day when that happy Family includes me!

Not too much is known about my former life but I can say that I get along great with all other dogs and cats I've ever encountered.  I've never lived with small children but a great guy such as myself would probably do just fine with them - with that said, be sure to inquire with the MaxFund staff if little tykes are part of your family.  I'm a champion cuddler & live for time spent with my family (4-legged and 2-legged alike!)  I enjoy playing fetch, as well as leash walks around town.

I'll make a great family member to most any family.  Won't you please hurry in to MaxFund soon and let me be one of the next dogs to trot off into the sunset!?!  Remember to ask for Rascal!

Zimora

12/20/11: Zimora was adopted!


Little, sweet husky

Hello Hello!  Thanks for stopping my by very own autobiography site!  I'm Zimora - a 2 year-young petite husky weighing in a 42-lbs.  I'm not sure how such a SMART and FUN girl as myself ended up as a stray...but it happened.  Luckily, I was brought to MaxFund by a good samaritan (thank you!) where the staff is letting me fully participate in finding myself my very own Forever Family!

While I stayed with the aforementioned (now that's a big word for a canine, eh?!?) good samaritan, I lived with children aged 2 to 14 years and we all got along swell.  I also shared space with another dog and even a CAT - and we all enjoyed each other's company.  As an active gal, I'll need an active family who has time for frequent walks or other forms of exercise (dog parks or doggie daycare would probably be fun!)  I'll also need someone who is dedicated to teaching me the canine ropes (that's a fancy way of saying I need some basic obedience training).  Don't let that stop you, though, as I'm so smart (did you catch my extensive vocabulary?!?) that I'll make YOU look like a great dog trainer!!

Like all adolescent gals (and true to my husky breed), I can be a bit of a chatter-box.  But I'm just trying to communicate all these brilliant thoughts that are passing through my head.  If you get a chance to come on in to MaxFund (today, please), I promise you won't regret it - I'll spend my entire life impressing you with my good looks, brilliance and goofy antics! When you arrive at MaxFund remember to ask for Zimora!!

Lacy

11/29/11: Lacy was adopted!


Sweetie :)

Hello there.  I hope you're having a wonderful day!  I'm Lacy - the prim-and-proper lady.  I'm a 4 year-young, 55-lb black labrador/shepherd mix who was found wandering the streets of Denver.  While I was out and about, I may have witnessed some things that weren't meant for a lady's eyes so I can be a bit nervous when you first meet me.  Keep in mind that all ladies may play a little hard-to-get at first (wink! wink!)  However, with a little loving, I warm right on up to everyone I've met!  And once I realize you're respectful of a lady such as myself, I'm full-steam-ahead with my cuddling and loving!

My MaxFund human-friends describe me as an all-around GREAT GIRL!  I thoroughly enjoy the company of other well-behaved dogs as well as all people I've met around MaxFund.  I've not spent much time around cats or small kids but please inquire with the MaxFund folks if these creatures are part of your family.  Car rides are swell and I'd love to accompany my future guardian around town (who wouldn't want such a pretty lady as their co-pilot!?!)

Might a sweet, attractive lady be a good addition to your family?  If so, then please hurry on down to MaxFund and ask for Lacy the Lady!

Sydney

Update: Sydney was adopted!!


This gal has spent her whole life outdoors.  Here's to finding a family who will show her how great a *home* can be!

I hear you're looking for a Best Friend?  Well...here I am!  My name is Sydney and I'm the definition of (wo)man's best friend!  I'm an 8 year-old, 96-lb yellow lab and I'm what everyone is looking for when they think of (wo)man's best friend!  

Unfortunately, I have spent most of my life as an outside dog so I have yet to experience all that family life has to offer.  But, despite my surroundings, I'm a gentle, friendly gal who is great with all people, dogs and cats (did you hear that?!?  I'm good with cats!!)  I've ever met.  As I've spent my life outdoors, I haven't learned what is expected of an indoor dog...with that said, I'm a *very* smart girl who should quickly pick up on any new training, commands or whatever else you expect of me!  

I'm searching for a patient Best Friend who has time to play, cuddle and go on frequent walks (quality time is my number one priority!)  I've recently heard about those so-called "dog parks" and I'd love to check one out sometime!  Maybe we could even try swimming next summer...I am a labrador after all!

Are you that special someone looking to welcome a GREAT GUY into your home?  Well...what are you waiting for?  Your Best Friend is eagerly waiting for YOU at MaxFund.  Hurry on over and ask for Sydney!

Calvin

11/21/11: Calvin was adopted!


Calvin was out and about so I don't have a pic.  


Calvin bio

Muah!  Hello friends - I'm Calvin, an 11-month old akita/shar pei mix who was found running on a busy street.  A good samaritan was nice enough to stop their car and call me over.  I headed straight toward this nice soul and s(he) brought me to MaxFund where I've quickly emerged as a social butterfly who gets along great with other dogs (I'm rather smitten by my female canine neighbor!), as well as all people I've met.  In addition to my handsome-ness, I'm known for my affectionate personality (I love hugs & prefer kisses on the lips!) & eagerness to please those around me.

Like any young'un, I'll need a family with the time, dedication and patience to teach me what is expected of a stellar adult canine citizen.  I promise to spend my entire life thanking you for your up-front investment!  In fact, I love car rides so I would love to accompany you around town and show-off what a great dog-guardian you are!  

If a young, playful, handsome, affectionate 4-legged companion would mesh well in your family, then please hurry on in to MaxFund today so I can demonstrate what a great kisser I am!!  Muah...until we meet!

Jitter Bug

11/29/11: Jitterbug was adopted!


Sweet, shy guy

Single, somewhat reserved but excessively sweet gray terrier mix seeks caring, lovable family for lifelong companionship.  A bit about myself: I'm a 50-lb, 11-month old guy who was transported from a high-kill shelter in a neighboring state when someone realized what a catch I truly am.  I'm currently in the big dog room here at MaxFund actively searching for my Forever Family!


I'm searching for a companion (or companions) who realize what my laid-back approach to life.  When you first visit me, I'll quietly wag my tail while looking deep into your eyes to see if you might be my soul-mate.  The MaxFund folks are working hard to to teach me some typical doggie aspects of a life such a how to walk on a leash and some basic obedience commands.  My easy-going nature allows me to appreciate the company of all people and many canines I've met around MaxFund.  Since I've had no witnessed encounters with cats or young children, I'm unsure how we'd enjoy each other's company.  At the end of each day, I'm hopeful to spend some quality time cuddling with my family (and I'm not a big shedder so I'll take all my hair with me at the end of each cuddling session!)


Are you that special someone searching for a fantastically sweet four-legged companion?  No pressure!  Let's just relax and get to know each other a little.  We can figure out if we're a good match...and THEN I can trot right on out of here into the sunset and into my FOREVER home.

Chanceux

12/26/11 - Chanceux was adopted!


Chanceux was out-and-about when I was at the shelter a few days ago so no picture for now...


Chanceux bio:


Bonjour!  Today is your "Chanceux" day!  Chanceux (pronounced Shawn-sue) means lucky in French...and it's also a great name for such a fabulous guy as myself!  I'm a 70-lb, 3-year old Plott Hound who was relinquished to MaxFund when my family couldn't care for me anymore.  While I'm having a tough time figuring out why all the changes have occurred, I know I'm one lucky guy who will end up with my meant-to-be Forever Family!

My previous guardian left a long list of all the reasons that make me a superb dog.  While the list is too long to provide here in its entirety, I'll try to cram in as much as possible in my allotted space (I'm advertising for myself already!)  

First and foremost, I give *some* amazing kisses...one might go as far as to call them legendary (I have a French name after all!)  I love the company of other dogs and having a doggie roomie and/or frequent outings to dog parks or doggie daycare would be wonderful!  My favorite outdoor activities include swimming, playing fetch (I can even catch in the air!), jogging, and hiking (and probably any other activities that can be done outdoors...)  I'm extremely intelligent - I'm housetrained and know many commands (sit, stay, lay down, shake, jump (in which case I'll "place" wherever you want me), etc, etc).  You should come check out the list for yourself...pretty impressive!!  Oh, did I mention that I'm fine around horses?  On the other hand, I must admit that I believe cats were made for chasing so the MaxFund folks say I probably shouldn't live with one.  And I haven't spent too much time around kids (although a big, active guy as myself does pose a knock-over hazard) so please inquire with the MaxFund staff if les enfants are part of your family.

Well...I'm told I'm out of space here so you'll just have to come on down to MaxFund to make my "Chanceux" day! Salut until we meet...

Lucas

11/29/11: Lucas was adopted!


9-months on doggie-death-row without so much as a walk :(

Hello ya'll!  My name is Lucas and I'm a 60-lb, canaan/akita mix who is true Southern Gentleman!  I was rescued from a Southern U.S. State's doggie-death-row and brought out west to find the perfect western Family.  I'm loving the friendly folks - both human and canine.  In fact, my female neighbors' fur looks much more stylish in the absence of humidity!  Don't worry, I'm neutered so my admiration won't progress beyond friendship...

At 3-years-young, I love to frolic with the best of them.  In fact, I'd prefer a home with another friendly dog for me to share my life with.  I have yet to meet any Colorado cats or children up close and personal so I'm not sure how we'll get along...but if they're part of your family, please inquire with the MaxFund folks about how we might enjoy each other's company.

During my 9-month death-row stent, I didn't get out-and-about too much so I'm oh-so-appreciative of the staff and volunteers at MaxFund who are helping me rediscover how great life is.  After all,  "When life hands you lemons, you must just squeeze those lemons right on into some homemade sweet tea!"  

If you're looking forward to welcoming a loving, optimistic 4-legged companion into your Family, I just might the Gentleman for you!  And as us Southern Gentleman always look on the sunny side of life, I keep telling myself that "...tomorrow is another day..."  I hope it's the day that YOU come meet ME! 

Azlo

11/6/11: Azlo was adopted!!


Love this young guy!!

Bonjour!  I'm Azlo, a 110-lb, 10-month old puppy who makes my breed proud!  Us Great Pyrenees are a very old breed, and have been used for hundreds of years by shepherds in southern France and northern Spain.  In nature, we are confident, gentle, and affectionate. Our general demeanor is one of composure, patience and tolerance.  Yup....that's me in a big, white nutshell!

As I made my way to MaxFund courtesy of a good samaritan who found me as a stray, not too much is known about my first few months of life.  Of course, any 110-lb puppy will need a family with the time, patience and dedication to ensure that I grow up into a superb adult canine citizen!  While I really appreciate the MaxFund folks working tirelessly to find my perfect match, I can say that I'm not a huge fan of this shelter environment - my genetic makeup (and personality) is much more suited for some running space and human-bonding than sitting in a kennel!  As an optimistic guy, I'm hoping my shelter stent is short & sweet and that I'll soon be bringing warmth and love into my true Forever Family!  As more information about me is gathered, I promise to update my bio...but I'm hoping that I'm "home" before anyone has time to enter that update!!

Are you the special (and lucky) person who will get to enjoy my coziness this winter?  If so, please hurry on over to MaxFund so we can get on with our lives together!  

Prince-Kingston

Update: Prince-Kingston was adopted!


He is truly handsome - this picture doesn't do him justice!!

Hello mon!  And thank you for taking time to visit my own personalized autobiography page!  Vital statistics first...I'm Prince-Kingston, a 4 year-young, 54-lb handsome shepherd/ridgeback mix who is searching for my Forever Family.  Yes, yes, I know....some may initially think "handsome" isn't part of my vital statistics - but I assure you that once you lay eyes on me, you'll agree that "handsome" belongs right where I placed it in this bio!

As a polite young man, I'm already housebroken and couldn't imagine chewing any non-edibles in your home.  I'm an active guy who loves to swim and I am a great jogging partner.  I'm also known for my champion snuggler skills!  In my previous home, I was always well-behaved around children-visitors but my experience is limited.  I need to go to a home with no other pets but I promise that I'll do everything within my power to fulfill all your 4-legged companion needs!

If a brilliant, snuggly, handsome young canine sounds like a good match for you, please hurry on in to MaxFund and ask for Prince-Kingston!  I'm waiting...
