About THE MAXFUND INC

THE MAXFUND INC (doing business as True Companions Animal Shelter & Clinic as of March 2026) is a Denver-based, nonprofit no-kill animal shelter and veterinary clinic founded in 1988. It provides emergency and long-term medical care for injured, abused, and abandoned dogs and cats and works to place healthy animals in permanent homes. The organization operates a multi-building campus of animal care facilities, a public-facing veterinary clinic, and mobile outreach programs (including statewide spay/neuter and mobile adoption events) to reach underserved and rural communities. In 2026 the organization completed a public rebrand to True Companions while continuing its longstanding shelter, clinic, adoption, and community-support programs. MaxFund/True Companions explicitly provides low-cost veterinary services, vaccinations and spay/neuter clinics for low-income pet owners and no-fee adoptions for specified vulnerable populations; it also runs enrichment and therapy programs that visit senior centers, veterans’ facilities and nursing homes.
