A HERO COMES TO MAXFUND
By Dr. Bill Suro
A
n elderly
woman lived
alone in her
apartment except for
her constant companion, a dog name
Dharma. One day she
had a severe stroke
and fell to the floor,
where she lay for two
days totally helpless.
Nobody could hear
the cries for help
except Dharma, and
both apartment doors
were locked.
Finally Dharma did something that under any other
circumstance she wouldn’t think of doing. Dharma is a
sweet, well mannered, six year old Smooth Fox Terrier
cross. She weighs all of thirty-five pounds. She attacked
the back door which had a screened section and made a
hole big enough for a Doberman to go through. This
allowed Dharma to escape to the apartment complex’s
fenced in common back yard.
Dharma began to howl, not barking, but letting out a
mournful, wolf-like howl that she kept up continually. A
neighbor responded to Dharma’s distress call and was led
to the fallen mistress. The EMTs who responded to the
911 call said that there was no doubt that Dharma had
saved her owner’s life.
Now the life-saving hero with the engaging personality
faces a crisis of her own. Every pet deserves a good home
and a happy secure life. This special dog needs a special
person to give her a very special forever home.

PEANUT UPDATE
P
eanut has been renamed Mr. Bean. He has adapted to
our household very quickly. He is loving his forever
home and we feel very lucky to have him.
He is next to me curled
up under the blankets
on the couch as I type.
He loves his big sister
very much and occasionally plays with his
kitty brother who finds
pouncing on him the
most fun thing in the
world. Mr. Bean does
beautifully with our
daily walking pack
which includes four
Bernese mountain dogs,
Mr. Bean
his big sister, one large
lab, and a rescue mix
named Belle. Long story short he is doing very, very, very
well and we love him more than words can express.
Love,
Beans Mom, Dad, Sister, and Brother.
Thank you for helping us complete our family.
Ironically, although Dharma’s owner responded well, the
stroke left the elderly owner too debilitated to care for a
pet. Knowing that MaxFund was a no-kill shelter, a
friend called us and pleaded for us to take care of
Dharma. He didn’t have to plead; that’s what we do.

FROM THE WORLD OF GUS
By Gus Suro
Mom and Dad tell me every day that I am getting better
after Gypsy went away for good. They have always
called me “goofy.” I think what they think of me now
is that I am a little more goofy than I used to be, but
they no longer feel that I am going “nuts.”
It is coincidental but another factor has been added to
the state of my mind. Mom and Dad have a good
friend who had a stroke and couldn’t take care of her
Chihuahua. The friend is apparently doing well. I don’t
know about all that stuff, but I do know that now I
have a little (about the size of my head) dog following
me around. And he is such a baby. He expects to have
human food specially prepared for him, wants to wear
a little coat if it is chilly in the morning, has to be
physically put outside to do his business if the grass is
wet, etc.
But, the fact is that I don’t mind all this too much. I
actually like him (his name is Monty), even though I
had a hard time initially to perceive him as a real dog.
In a way it is fun to go from Gypsy being my older
sister, to me being a big brother to Monty. It’s a funny
world, don’t you think?

A CAT’S UNIVERSE
by Snoopy & Gizmo
JACK-A-LOPE/DEER-A-LOPE
Got your attention now, don’t I. No, I have not gone off the deep end, but I do have a question for you two
leggers. What gives? I thought a Jack-A-Lope was just a funny idea that one of you came up with. However,
the other evening I was looking out the back window of my RV and saw several deer. No big deal, right? Well
one of them had antlers just like a Jack-A-Lope! So… are there Deer-A-Lopes also? Mom tried to tell me that
no, that just meant they were a boy deer, but if that is true, does that make all Jack-A-Lopes boys? Well
enough of that for now.
I have not stayed at this campground before. It is in a town called LaVeta. I sure hope we come back here
again. There were lots of birds, rabbits and deer and someone also said they saw turkeys (not sure what they
are). I spent quite a bit of time watching one particular rabbit while Mom and Dad were doing whatever they
do when they are not here. It is too bad that I don’t speak rabbit because I am very curious about where they
go and what things they see?
I have also made another discovery. If I want attention I do not have to just wait for Mom and Dad to sit on
the couch. I have learned that if I meow a lot, and just about trip them by rubbing against their legs they will
sit down and wait for me to jump up on my raised “lounge area” between them; then I get lots of pets from
both of them or I can lay my head on Mom’s arm and sleep while she reads. I may be a slow learner but this is
cat-a-riffic! Oh Look! I just made a new word.
All this thinking and making new words has really pooped me out. So goodbye for now, I am going to
take a nap.

Hello MaxFund,
Ellie is 10 years old
and is very passionate
about animals. She is
always looking for
ways to help animals.
Since she’s too young
to volunteer at the
shelter she decided to
do a coin drive in our
neighborhood to be
able to donate to
MaxFund. She asked
some of our neighbors
in the Homestead
neighborhood in
Centennial if they would be willing to donate coins.
She counted each baggie herself and overall collected
over $211.00!
We are very proud of Ellie and her enthusiasm and
commitment toward animals.

MEET SOME MAXFUND DOGS
By Ilene Johnson
TIPPER
Tipper is an Australian
Kelpie/Cattle dog mix
who was born in 2013.
This very handsome boy
weighs in at about
45 pounds. Tipper came
to MaxFund when his
owner suffered a stroke, and he was relinquished
through no fault of his own.
Tipper is the epitome of handsome: he has a gorgeous
silver coat, and a smile that brightens everyone’s day. He
also has mesmerizing eyes, with a unique golden rim.
Tipper loves to play with tug toys and with tennis balls.
You would never know it, but he has three legs. One of
his back legs had to be amputated, but he can still run
like crazy and get around very well. In order for his other
back leg to get stronger, he needs to take it a bit easy
with regard to physical activity, but that does not prevent
him from loving life and being a very happy boy.
Tipper is very observant, and loves to take in his
surroundings on his walks. In fact, he loves to
observe the local wildlife, that is, the squirrels in the
neighborhood, and will sit under a tree and study
them with those gorgeous, mesmerizing eyes.
Tipper is very smart and eager to please. He knows a number
of commands: sit, stay, down, and speak, and would love
to find a home that will work with him on continued
training. He loves being with people of all ages. Tipper
will likely do best as the only fur child in his forever home.
Please come and meet this resilient, carefree, handsome
boy with his mesmerizing eyes. He promises to be a
loyal, happy companion, and will bring much joy to
his forever home.
MEET KENNY
Kenny is a dreamy, handsome boy who is a wonderful
mix of Jack Russell terrier and Papillon, two very awesome
breeds. Kenny was born in 2005.
Kenny has beautiful brown eyes that can melt anyone’s
heart, and that resemble melting pools of chocolate. He
is a happy, energetic boy who loves to run and play. He
gets along with other dogs, and loves his playgroups.
PAW PRINTS | November 2015
Kenny is an absolute dream to walk. He has excellent
leash manners. He is also as patient as a saint; he sits
quietly and calmly while you put on his harness, and
does the same when you take it off. This little gentleman clearly enjoys going out for a nice walk, and is
polite and friendly at all times.
Kenny gets along with all people, big and small. He is
also housetrained.
You can see Kenny in action in his video; click on the
link under his bio on the MaxFund website. This wellbehaved boy is looking for his forever home. Can you
make this dreamy boy’s dreams come true?

SHELDON UPDATE
O
ur little
Sheldon has
become a great
member of our family.
As you can see, he is
now a happy 50 lb
puppy. We always
laugh at the crazy
ways he lays during
naps. His favorite toys
are ones that make
crunchy noises (with
water bottle inserts)
and he goes nuts over
peanut butter filled
Kongs. He doesn't
have his howl yet, but
every once in a while
his bark cracks and he
scares himself, it's
hilarious!
We have been working
with Colorado Dog
Academy in
Broomfield on trainSheldon
ing and he is doing a
great job of, as they put it "finding his brain". We are
so grateful that he became part of our family!
