Bellow

12/20/11: Bellow was adopted!


Bellow the Bassett

“Do your ears hang low…

Do they wobble to and fro…

Can you tie them in a knot…

Can you tie them in a bow?”

Oh.  Ahem.  You caught me.  Time can get a little slow around the shelter so I have to find ways to entertain myself.  But, I promise my focus is now entirely on you and enlightening you as to why I’ll make the perfect life partner to that special someone…

I’m Bellow, a 6-year-young, 45-lb basset hound.  I was relinquished to MaxFund because my previous family couldn’t take care of me any longer.  Adjectives they used to describe me include (but are not limited to): outgoing, friendly, playful, very loving and lapdog.  Yup…that’s me in a nutshell.

I enjoy the company of other dogs, am well-behaved on a leash and I love to play fetch.  I know some basic obedience commands and I’m even crate-trained.  I don’t have much interest in cats so we could probably co-habitate just fine.   I must mention that I’m not a fan of little humans…they do annoying things like pull on my ears which I don’t find so pleasant.  So, I’ll need to be sure to go to a family that only has older, more mature folks around.

Until you get a moment to come meet me here in the Big Dog Room, I’ll be passing time by perfecting my baritone voice & gazing up longingly at each human that peers into my kennel.   I sure hope I see your face peering down at me soon!

Aussie

9/10/11: Aussie was adopted!


Sweet puppy.

G’day, mate!  I’m Aussie – a 1 year-young Aussie/cattle dog mix who would’ve been content to live out my entire life without learning the meaning of the work ‘divorce’.  Sadly, that noun became part of my vocabulary in my short life and I ended up at MaxFund when my humans decided to ‘divorce’ me too.  But, I wake up each day in this kennel eagerly waiting for my new & true Forever Family to round the corner into the Big Dog Room!

While I wait for my special family to find me, I’m using each day to learn what is expected of an excellent canine citizen.  I'm already very well-behaved on a leash & know some basic obedience commands.  I’m learning how to socialize with other dogs but, like all young’uns, I’ll need a family with the time, commitment and dedication required to teach a young pup what it really takes to mature into a superstar adult canine.

I lived with children in my previous family and we always got along just fine.  With regards to those creatures you refer to as  ‘cats’, I have yet to meet one so I can’t say how I’ll enjoy their company.  Like all of us adoptees, I’ll need to meet all potential family members before deciding if we’re a good match!

If a bouncy, bubbly, very smart young man sounds like a good match for your family, please don’t waste anymore of our time apart!  Come on in and let me show you what a great life-mate I’ll make!

Kia

9/27/11: Kia was adopted!


It was >95 degrees this past Thursday when I went to MaxFund - hence all the pics being of the doggies in their kennels :(

Hello there.  Lucky for both of us, you stumbled across the personalized autobiography of the coolest girl to arrive at MaxFund in a loooooong time.  Yep…that’s me – Kia, a 9-year-young , 71-lb lab mix who was brought to MaxFund after my previous owner passed away.  While I miss my person very much, I’m a natural optimist who is looking forward to my next life-chapter!

I’m an outgoing, cuddly, friendly girl who will make an excellent life-partner for some fantastic family!  I love to play with other dogs – especially when tennis balls are involved!  I’m housetrained, excellent on a leash, enjoy car rides and I am quite the lover.   I can’t speak as to how I enjoy the company of kids or cats (for some silly reason, they don’t let those creatures roam free here in the Big Dog Room) but please inquire with the MaxFund staff if these little buggers are part of your family!

Although I’m enjoying everyone’s kindness here at MaxFund, I know how great having a real home is & I look forward to the day that I have another home to call my very own.  Might that home be shared with you?  Please come on in to MaxFund today and ask for the coolest gal around…Kia!

Sierra

11/6/11: Sierra was adopted!


Sweet, sweet girl.

Have you ever hear of Antionito, Colorado?  Yeah…me neither.  But that’s where I, Sierra – a 50-lb, 6 year-young black lab – was found wandering around in the dead heat of summer.  Some nice folks in an RV (that was air-conditioned, nonetheless!) welcomed me into their home on wheels.  I was so grateful and tried to show my thanks by showering them with lots o’ lovin’!  These good samaritans did their research and were thoughtful enough to bring me to MaxFund where I’m safe until I meet my Forever Family!

Even though no one has claimed me, someone, somewhere taught me some basic obedience commands.  I am housetrained and already know how to sit, lay down…and roll over for tummy rubs (my favorite trick!) I have proven my ability to climb chain link so a secure fence is a must in my new home.  I’m good on a leash, enjoy car rides and like all people I’ve met (even the wee lil’ ones).  I don’t seem too interested in cats and I enjoy spending time with my canine pals around MaxFund!

If you’re looking for an all-American gal, then hurry on in to MaxFund today and ask for Sierra!  I’m waiting…

Tito

9/3/11: Tito was adopted to a great family with 2 kids :o)


Cute, little guy :)

Good day, folks!  I’m Tito, a 4-year young, male terrier mix who just wants to love you & kiss you & check on you & make sure you’re happy!   As I was found as a stray not too much is known about my past experiences or my life-preferences…but I can tell you that YOU are my #1 priority!  I can also tell you that I'm highly socialized, good-natured and easy-going - what more could you ask for?!?

Even though I’m only 23-lbs, I’m currently residing in the Big Dog Room here at MaxFund.  My fellow dog-neighbors have told me that there are people out there who will welcome me into their home & family forever…woah!  My paws are crossed that such a special person stumbles across my path ASAP.  I have a life-time of love all pent up and ready to dole out readily! 

If you’re that special person who is willing to prove to me that families are forever, I sure hope you’ll hurry on in to MaxFund today and ask for Tito!

Gandolf

9/10/11: Gandolf was adopted!


Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful guy.

Greetings good people.  Gandolf here - I'm an 8-month old, 25-lb Australian shepherd/Sheltie mix who's best described as one cool dude.  Somehow I ended up roaming the streets of Denver but some nice person took me into their home while they searched for my previous owner.  When no one claimed me, I was fortunate that they opted to bring me to MaxFund where I'm safe until some lucky human discovers me!

Like all puppies, I'll need a home where all folks have the time, patience and commitment to teach me what it takes to be a superstar adult canine citizen. Obedience training would be fantastic, although I already have a head-start as I know how to sit and I'm extremely eager to please.  I'm treat-motivated and good around all people I've had the fortune to meet.  I am not phased by other dogs as I pass their kennels and I love to play with all dogs I've had the pleasure of meeting!  I haven't met any young children around MaxFund but I can say that I ignore cats as I pass them in the alley.   If other dogs, cats or children are part of your family, please be sure to inquire with the MaxFund staff about how they think we'd all get along!

If you're on the search for a cool and collected young dude to share a lifetime of snuggles, laughs and romps then please don't waste any more of our time apart.  Head on in to MaxFund today and let's get our life started already!
