Part dalmatian...

Hello there & thank you for taking the time to read about me, Bebe, a 41-lb Dalmatian mix. I’ve had a rough go-at-it during my 16 months on this earth. I was initially abandoned in an apartment so a nice person took me in. Unfortunately, he lost his home & we ended up living in a car. Thankfully, he realized that a car was not a good home for a young dog such as myself so he brought me to MaxFund. So, here I sit waiting for my Forever Family!

Even though I might be named after that high-class fashion store in the Cherry Creek Mall, I’m just a down-to-earth, optimistic gal. I get along well with other dogs and I’ve always been very well-behaved around children. I think cats are really fun to chase so I probably shouldn’t live with one. I’m housetrained, very well behaved on a leash and know some basic obedience commands. My favorite pastimes include going to dog parks and hiking (Hint! Hint!). 

I can get a bit overwhelmed here in the noisy Big Dog Room so I hope we can meet outside the shelter where you can fully appreciate what a sweet, loveable, sincere pup I truly am. Please come visit soon and be sure to ask for Bebe!

Patty

10/2/11: Patty was adopted!


Quiet, laid-back lil' gal.

Hi’ya! Hope everyone out there is enjoying their summer! I’m Patty, a 6-year old black lab mix that was brought to MaxFund as a stray. I’m thoroughly enjoying my time at MaxFund with all these nice folks but I’m dreaming of the day that I find that special someone with whom I can spend my life.

As I was a stray, not too much is known about my past. I can tell you that I’m a very polite girl who is rather quiet here at the shelter. I’m well-behaved on a leash & get along well with all people I’ve met. I haven’t had too much play-time yet with other dogs, cats or kids yet around these parts – but please inquire with the MaxFund staff if these creatures are a part of your family. 

If you’re searching for a polite, reserved gal with lots of livin’ left to do, you have found the right bio! Please come to MaxFund for a visit soon. Be sure to ask for Patty (as you might look right over my 39-lb, quiet self here in this noisy Big Dog Room)!

Ellie

8/31/11: Ellie was adopted!


This girl is cuuuuuute!!  She was just spayed - hence the cone of shame :(

Hi everyone! I’m Ellie, a young 30-lb Shar-pei who is actively searching for my perfect Forever Family. I was relinquished by my former guardians because they could no longer care for me. I’m grateful they chose MaxFund because everyone is working hard to ensure that I find my perfect match!

Did you know that, according to recent genetic research, us Shar-pei’s seem to be one of the few ancient dog breeds?!? Combine my ancient roots with my young, playful personality and you may just have the perfect 4-legged companion! I spent most of my time in my previous life living outdoors so I’m looking forward to a family that will welcome me inside their home. While I enjoy the company of other dogs, I’m not so sure about cats and younger children as I haven’t encountered too many of those lil’ buggers. If cats and kids are part of your family, please ask the MaxFund staff whether they think we’d make good roomies. And, like all young’uns, I’ll need a family with the patience to guide me in what it takes to become an excellent canine citizen.

If you’re looking for a cozy, wrinkly canine companion, I just might be the gal for you. Please make time soon to come visit MaxFund and remember to ask for Ellie!

Bonnie

11/14/11: Bonnie is back through no fault of her own...


9/3/11: Bonnie was adopted!  Some lucky family is getting a fantastic companion :)


This girl stays in the outside part of her kennel whenever given the choice.  I hope some fabulous person will teach her how wonderful being inside a home can be.

Good day to all the good people who took the time to visit my own personal autobiography site. I’m Bonnie, a 60-lb, 4 year-old perfect mix of Shepherd, Doberman & Heeler (at least that’s the humans’ best guess as to my origins!) I’m told that my job here is to advertise why I’ll make the perfect addition to your family…so here goes…

I’m a quiet, reserved girl who is oh-so-appreciative of any & all attention I’m paid. I gently lean into all pets & affection offered me. I was a stray who was taken in by some Good Samaritans. Their family included several cats & dogs and I got along well with everyone. The humans in the family describe me as a “sweet, sweet” girl but, unfortunately, they couldn’t keep another 4-legged companion. Lucky for me, they brought me to MaxFund where I just know I’ll find the wonderful Family I deserve.

It seems that I’ve spent most of my time outside but I’m on the search for a Family that will welcome me into their home. Are you the special human searching for such a undemanding gal such as myself? If so, please come visit MaxFund and ask for Bonnie. I promise to spend my entire life thanking you for you open heart & home!

Boomer

7/20/11: Boomer was adopted!


Love Boomer.

Howdy! My name is Boomer and my life-motto is: 

Play Hard. Nap Hard. Love Hard. (But don’t worry…I’m neutered!)

I’m a 50-lb, 1 year old Boxer mix who is grateful to have landed at MaxFund after my time was “up” at another rescue organization. After that close-call, I’ve got to live life to the absolute fullest!

I enjoy the company of other dogs, as long as we’re introduced properly & they don’t try to dominate me (after all - what adolescent boy likes to be bullied?!?) I am a playful guy and I hope to have a backyard to romp around in. After playtime, I hope to be able to crash on a cozy pillow (or a couch would probably do too!) MaxFund isn’t quite sure how I’d enjoy cohabitating with cats or children but please inquire with the staff if these creatures are part of your family.

Are you the lucky human looking to share some play-time, nap-time & love-time with a handsome guy such as myself? If so, hurry on over to MaxFund and ask for Boomer!

Dixie (2) Bio

8/19/11: Dixie was adopted!


Sweetie :)

Hi ya’ll! My name is Dixie & I’m a 9-month old boxer mix who was found as a stray. How someone could let such a cute gal as myself get away is beyond me! I’m an affectionate, lovable, beautiful pup who will make someone a once-in-a-lifetime companion.

Like all puppies, I’ll need someone with the time, dedication & patience to teach me what is expected of a stellar adult canine citizen. Don’t worry – I have a great head start as I’m a friendly dog who has gotten along with all people I’ve met at MaxFund. I haven’t yet met young children but have been a polite girl with children as young as 12 years. With proper introductions, I’ve enjoyed playing with some dogs (especially the boys – wink! wink!) Cats, however, are a different story as I think they were created for me to chase….so I probably shouldn’t live with them. 

I’ve heard from my neighbors at MaxFund that there are humans that will welcome me into their life FOREVER and love me UNCONDITIONALLY. Each time of I close my puppy eyes, I dream of the day that such a special human stumbles across lil’ ole me here at MaxFund. We can trot on out of here together and into the sunset…

Max (2) Bio

7/29/11: Max was adopted!!


At MaxFund, we are not allowed to walk dogs if it is over 85 degrees outside.  When I visited the shelter, it was over 90 so I wasn't able to take the pups out for pictures :(  Don't worry - all dogs were walked earlier in the day when it was a bit cooler!


Sweet, sweet big puppy :)

Hello! Howdy! How do ya do?  I’m Max, a goofy 10-month old German Shepherd pup who is eagerly peering out from my crate daily to see if my Future Family has found me yet.  


I’m a very friendly guy who loves life!  My most recent happy memory is the Lucky Mutt Strutt (the annual MaxFund walk in Wash Park) where I was a hit with the ladies, gents and canines alike!  Like all puppies, I’ll need a Family with the patience and dedication to teach me what is expected of an excellent canine citizen.


I’m a very smart guy with *tons* of potential.  I get along well with other dogs (dog park, anyone?!?) and all people I’ve met (include kids!)  I haven’t spent too much time around cats so I’m not quite sure what I think of them.


I currently weigh about 68-lbs but I may still have a little growing to do over the next few months – please don’t let that growing be in the shelter.  Hurry down to MaxFund and ask for “Max”!
