THE LONG ARM OF MAXFUND
REACHES ALL THE WAY TO
CLEVELAND
By Phil McPeck
I
n the middle of introducing a new employee to MaxFund
Animal Adoption Center, co-founder and director Nanci
Suro left her office with as much hurry in her voice as in her
step: “Abraham, stop what you’re doing. You’re going to
Cleveland. That dog’s not going to die.”
“That dog,” he would learn, had been surrendered to MaxFund,
adopted, returned in late 2011 and adopted out again in April
2012. Now the dog was at Cleveland Animal Control in Ohio,
according to a phone call from a staffer there. Reports were that
he was within 48 hours of being euthanized on May 24.
The nonprofit MaxFund, 1005 Galapago St., Denver, microchips
every dog and cat that comes through its doors and even when
animals are adopted out the true no-kill shelter remains the
point of contact in the chip-maker’s nationwide registry. A pet’s
new owner has the option for a small fee of also associating his
or her name with the chip.
Paper files of who had last adopted the dog, named Stimpy, did
not migrate to MaxFund's current computerized system. But
an exhaustive search of records and memories, including the
memories of staff at MaxFund Wellness Clinic, put together
proof that Stimpy was a MaxFund alum. The microchip
became the bull terrier's lifeline. He would be rescued — again.
Never mind that the clock was ticking, that there would be
costs or that there were 1,300 miles to cover to reach him.

Abraham Mares is facilities manager for MaxFund’s three
adjacent entities: the dog adoption center, cat adoption
center and MaxFund Wellness Clinic on the edge of downtown
Denver. He laid down the tools where he had been putting
up white boards for cat center staff to track monthly

intakes and adoptions. The boards would have to wait.
He was on his way to Cleveland.
The white van with the MaxFund logo on the sides rolled
into the eastern Ohio city on Lake Erie just before animal
control closed for the weekend at 3 p.m. Traffic on freeways
and tollways was awful on the Friday afternoon, a barely
rested Mares said. Still 9 miles from Stimpy, a senior clerk
at the city shelter, Mary Galaska, did something extraordinary
for a government agency — she told Mares by phone that
she would stay until he arrived and the rescue was complete.
“They were wonderful,” Suro said afterward. “I don't know of
any animal shelter that will wait for you.”
Mares, a 12-year employee of MaxFund, recognized the bull
terrier like a long-lost friend. Within the hour, Stimpy again
belonged to MaxFund.
Galaska said her agency sees only a handful of the distinctive
bull terriers each year. “Four or five — if that,” she said.
“I know this dog,” Mares said he told Galaska.
What isn’t known is Stimpy’s journey to Cleveland or how he
became a stray on the city’s lower west side, known as the
Tremont area. Stimpy was turned in May 10 and had no collar,
Galaska said. “He wasn't in bad shape. Whoever had him was
taking care of him.”

THANK YOU FOR
RENOVATIONS!
A huge thank you for Bill Peyer, who has done an
amazing job for us on a couple of projects. Don’t you
hate to have someone who comes and bids on a project,
starts it and then goes somewhere else for days. We do
too, and then we found this amazing guy who not only
has affordable prices, but is there till the job is finished.
He says no job is too small or large.
FROM THE WORLD OF GUS
Dad is happy these days. In his little fenced off place everything has grown up tall and bushy. Some parts look like a
jungle! He spends a lot of time out there. It looks like he
pulls other green stuff out of the ground that he doesn’t like;
it all looks the same to me. He takes our hose and squirts
everything with water every day, sometimes more when it’s
hot and it hasn’t rained. Every day he goes out with a basket
and brings things from there to the kitchen. I don’t have any
idea why he does all this, but it seems to make him happy,
and that’s a good thing!
Mom and Dad had a new guy (Gypsy and I didn’t know him
but he turned out to be a nice guy) spend a lot of time at our
house. He took off our back steps and all the railings of the
back porch and the steps. That was scary because Gypsy and
I usually come out of the back door and down those steps at
ninety miles an hour seeing who can get to where the squirrel is sitting on our fence. For a while we had to get to the
back yard through the basement door. One day Mom and
Dad let us come out on the deck (slowly) when there wasn’t
any railing or stairs. We went to where the stairs used to be
but there was no way to go anywhere but back into the
kitchen. It was scary. Squirrels fascinate me, but I wouldn’t
want to climb to the top of a tree. I guess the strange man
didn’t like it either because he then made the deck much bigger and new railings and steps. The steps don’t go straight
down now but turn in the middle to go toward the back
yard. Mom and Dad like this but I don’t. I always make sure
that I get through the door first, giving me a head start over
Gypsy, but she’s more athletic and that turn helps her catch
up. The good part is that Mom and Dad now eat breakfast
on the deck. That allows Gypsy and me to have them all to
ourselves. The cats aren’t allowed outside.
If you have any job you want done you really should
call Bill.

A CAT’S UNIVERSE
by Snoopy & Gizmo
Hello!
It’s me, Gizmo, finally it is my turn. Snoopy probably just did not want to share as he knew I would be talking about
him. He now has to take a pill and gets “special food”. It sure smells good but I am not allowed to have any and just
forget about that pill! They feed us at the same time so hopefully we will not get the other one’s food; but sometimes
we still manage to sneak a bite or two of the others food if they get busy and forget to pick it up. (That is the “not
nice” part of the special food, we used to have food down all the time but now we only get it 3 or 4 times during the
day.) Since Snoopy has his special food you would think he would not care about mine but he does. He is not supposed
to eat my food as it is too high in something they call fat and it makes him throw up (yuck). I think his food tastes
pretty good but Mom says that is just because I am not supposed to eat it; something about “forbidden fruit”, whatever
that is. However, the good side for me is that he isn’t allowed to eat his canned food or his treats, so guess what, I got
them. Yeah for me! Oh, Mom says that is not very nice of me rub to it in; sorry Snoopy. The big down side to this
as I see it, is that he is feeling better and he is back to aggravating me at night, right around 9pm just like he used to.
Snoopy’s supposed grooming of me, especially when he bites too hard is his way of saying it is time for me to go
upstairs for the night and have the gate put up so I cannot come back down. Come to think of it that is another
negative about this “special food.” At night I used to sleep on the desk chair down stairs and now I have to sleep
upstairs with the dogs! No special chair or lamb’s wool mat, no anything. Bummmmer.
Mom, Big D and Snoopy are going camping again so I guess you will be hearing from him in the next newsletter.
He gets to write more because he is a traveling cat and not a whole lot happens here at home, but there is no way
you would get me in that thing they call an RV. Loki agrees with me but Lexi is nuts like Snoopy, she even likes to
ride in cars. To me it’s nothing more than a very big car and I prefer that my home does not move or make strange
noises. It makes me think I might be going to the vet.
Well, I guess that’s all for now. Hope you had a great summer, I sure did.

MEET SOME MAXFUND DOGS
By Ilene Johnson
Since Gunner is a hound dog, he loves the great outdoors. He is equally happy going for a leisurely stroll
to the park as he is going on a hike. And as mentioned, he is a joy to walk wherever you want to take
him.
MANNY
This handsome boy
is a Coonhound
mix (with some
Bernese Mountain
dog in the mix)
who wants to be
your new best
friend!
Gunner clearly was trained somewhere along the
way, as he knows his commands. He gets along well
with both other dogs, as well as with cats. He also
loves kids, and can be a great family dog.
Manny was born in 2006. He is a people lover in general;
he truly seems to love everyone that he meets, old and
young. As an added bonus, he also gets along great
with other dogs.
Manny loves getting out for nice walks. He is a lot of
fun to walk, as he is not too fast and not too slow. In
fact, he is a right-by-your-side kind of dog.
Manny loves attention and affection, and also loves his
treats (and who doesn’t, right?).
Manny does suffer from separation anxiety, and would
do best in a home where he is not left alone for long
periods of time. As Laura McGaughey, ABCDT, RVA,
Certified Dog Trainer/Veterinary Assistant, pointed
out in her excellent article in Paw Prints last month,
there are many ways to successfully deal with separation anxiety, and there are many resources available.
Manny is also on thyroid medication.
Manny is available for adoption or foster care. Please
come and meet him - he promises to win your heart!
GUNNER
Gunner is a handsome American Foxhound mix
who was born in 2007. Gunner was relinquished to
MaxFund by his owner through no fault of his own;
his owner had to relocate, and was not able to bring
Gunner with him.
While his name means,
variably, “battle strong”
and “bold warrior,”
Gunner is actually a
very “chill” kind of guy,
who is very easy to
walk, easy to be with,
and who is truly a no
fuss kind of dog. As
PAW PRINTS | September 2014
well, he knows how to be lively and playful when
you want him to be.
If you like kicking back and stopping to smell the
roses (or anything else that smells good), and just
enjoying life and nature, Gunner can be your best
new companion to share that with. He is looking
forward to making your acquaintance!
CHUCHO
Are you looking for a
quiet, sweet Chihuahua
mix? Well then, you have
found him! Chucho is
waiting patiently to
meet you.
This good-looking boy is
two years old, and came
to MaxFund from another shelter. You could not
ask for an easier-going boy. He is quiet in his kennel.
Additionally, Chucho loves his walks, and gets along
well with both cats and other small dogs. He is
understandably afraid of big dogs, due to an injury
he suffered in the past.
When you first meet Chucho, he is quiet, and perhaps
a bit shy, but he warms up very quickly. His very
favorite thing is getting a tummy rub, and he will be
asking for you to rub his tummy in no time at all.
One of our volunteers took him home for an overnight
visit, and said that he was a delightful guest, who got
along famously with both her dog and cat.
Chucho would love to meet you, and promises to give
you lots and lots of love.

MAXFUND’S
MAILBAG
Dear MaxFund,
Thanks for caring for animals. I have two former
Maxfund critters. Papon is a 7 year old Chihuahua
Terrier adopted 5 years ago and Gandhi is an 11 year
old Siamese cat (the love of my life) adopted 10 years
ago.
His lymphoma is “contained”
and he has outlived his
expectancy. I’m
hoping for a cure,
but so far none
is available.

DOG TRAINING TIPS:
1. Keep it simple and short. Begin teaching
any new trick or skill with brief lessons
throughout the day.
2. Patience. Make sure you are not overly
tired. One bad training session can set
your dog back.
3. Remember your dog needs repetition to
understand. Use the same words and
actions each time you train.
4. Reward! Reward! Reward! For every small
or large success. Your dog needs to know
when he/she is performing correctly. Make
a big fuss and you'll reap big rewards!

Long Arm Continued from page 1
Mares’ assessment was the same. “He’s not skinny. He’s
really clean, too.”
Stimpy also is deaf.
STRAY FACTS
Cleveland Animal Control sees between 4,000 and
5,000 dogs a year, and a dog’s fate can depend on its
health, aggressiveness toward people and suitability
with other animals, among other things, Galaska said.
“We try not to euthanize any adoptable dog,” she said.
The city posts its canine wards on FaceBook and works
with Cuyahoga County, local shelters and scores of pet
advocacy groups to place dogs in homes.
Animal control’s policy, as it is at most shelters, is to
scan strays for a microchip in the hope of locating
owners, Galaska said. Only MaxFund information was
on Stimpy's chip.
Rarely will a registrant go as far as MaxFund did to
retrieve a dog, Galaska said.
Among Mares’ photos on the return trip to Denver is a
sleeping Stimpy, a solid lump of white fur nestled in
pillows on the rumpled white sheets of a motel bed. In
another picture Mares sits on a lawn during a driving
break, the clearly muscular dog on his lap. Stimpy's
pink tongue matches the lining of his erect, pink-lined
ears. Small, dark eyes and a black nose punctuate an
otherwise snowy face.
IN THE CHIPS
The Avid-brand microchip that saved Stimpy is no
different than any of myriad chips on the market. “The
important thing is to get the animals chipped,” said
Heidi Hahn, manager of MaxFund Wellness Clinic.
The low-cost veterinary practice that’s open to the
public microchips dogs and cats for a one-time fee of
$40 — no annual re-registration fee, Hahn said.
The chip, about the size of a grain of rice and easily
injected through a needle into the area of an animal’s
shoulder blades, contains only the registrant’s contact
information. It’s keyed to the chip's unique identifying
number and held in the maker's database for the life
of the pet.
Abraham Mares, facilities
manager of MaxFund
Animal Adoption Center,
takes a break with Stimpy
on the return trip to
Denver. Mares concurred
with animal control staff
that whoever had the deaf
bull terrier Stimpy before
he was found as a stray
on the lower west side of
Cleveland had taken
care of him.
time you move, first thing on the list is the post office.
The second thing is to call the chip company.”
She has a second bit of advice, too: “Every time you go
to the vet, have them check to make sure the chip is
there. Chips can migrate,” although that’s not common,
she said. “You rarely will hear a not-positive story
about a microchip.”
NAMESAKE?
MaxFund adoption counselor Erica Jenkins said
she can only wonder whether early in life there had
been a “Ren” to the re-rescued bull terrier's Stimpy,
referring to the 1991-1996 Nickelodeon cartoon
series “The Ren and Stimpy Show.” The series
revolved around often off-color adventures and
antics of a hyper Chihuahua named Ren and his
pal, a less-than-brainy cat named Stimpy.
If that was the source of Stimpy’s name, “Ren” would
have been more apropos. “He’s a high-energy dog,”
Jenkins said. “I can tell you he’s strong. He’s superfriendly. Loves people.”
Phil McPeck is chief of media relations for MaxFund
Animal Adoption Center — A True No-Kill Shelter.
Last year, MaxFund placed 1,572 dogs and cats and
spayed/neutered 4,900. He may be reached at
headwriterphil@gmail.com.
“I chip my animals because I hope that if anything
happened, God forbid, they would come back to me,”
Hahn said. She said her advice to pet owners is “Every

VOLUNTEER FINDS MAXFUND
IS JUST RIGHT
By Phil McPeck
M
axFund Animal Adoption Center just feels
right to Carol Bennett, much the way a scratch
behind the ears can comfort or win over a dog.
Denver's premier no-kill animal shelter has engendered
in her a loyalty matched only by that of a fine dog and
explains why six mornings a week MaxFund can count
on Bennett to be at 1005 Galapago St. to walk as many
as 20 of its small dogs.
In 2007 volunteering and working with shelter animals
came together for her at MaxFund. Bennett also has a
part-time dog-walking and pet-sitting business.
All but one morning a week, rain or shine, she starts a
cacophony of eager barking when she walks into the
MaxFund kennel about 7:30. She talks to the dogs as she
leashes them and two by two they go on a 15- to 20minute walk around the block or through the neighborhood on the southwest edge of downtown. “I give them all
potty breaks,” Bennett said. After as many as 10 such trips
to accommodate 20 dogs, she takes some for “play time” in
MaxFund’s fenced, parklike courtyard with its artificial
turf, trees, kiddie swimming pool and toys.
Hopefully life in a kennel is a temporary experience for
most of the dogs, Bennett said. “I look at my own pets
and they have a house to roam.”
Bennett has two cats — her own and one she fosters for
MaxFund. The canine member of her family is Betty,
an American Eskimo-corgi mix she rescued in 2005.
Betty had been living on the streets of Denver with a
homeless man who no longer could keep her, Bennett said.
Every morning walk is an opportunity to be an ambassador
for MaxFund and encourage an adoption. A chance
meeting and chat with a man on his way to the dog
shelter led to one of Bennett’s favorite stories.
MaxFund volunteer Carol Bennett logs her
walking of dogs from the animal adoption center
at 1005 Galapago St.
“I love getting them out of their kennels,” socializing
them and “letting them know they're loved and
valued,” Bennett said. The dogs’ pictures and stories
can be seen at www.maxfund.org.
Large or small, dogs awaiting adoption to a permanent
home are in the shelter through no fault of their own,
Bennett said, and “I feel like I’m kind of a bridge
between their former life and their new life.”
A new life is something she knows about. For 30 years
Bennett, of Denver, was an employee of then-telephone
company Qwest and essentially was forced into retirement by layoff in 2009. As a volunteer, she had worked
with the Denver Dumb Friends League but found the
scheduling there unworkable. Bennett said that over the
course of six years she also traveled occasionally to Best
Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah, where she
would care for cats in the mornings during her visits and
walk dogs in the afternoons. But the travel was taxing.
PAW PRINTS | September 2014
The man was arriving to see about a particular dog, an
older mixed breed he wanted to give a second chance.
If that dog didn't work out, for whatever reason,
Bennett said, she asked that he look at Delilah.
Carol Bennett leaves
the dog shelter with
two small dogs for a
15- to 20-minute walk.
She makes as many as
10 such trips a day, six
mornings a week.
Delilah, a coonhound,
had been in the shelter
for three years. “I could
see she was getting
depressed. She wouldn't
walk far,” Bennett said.
As it turned out, the retired gentleman met Delilah and
the two have been together since.
And that just feels right, too.
