MaxFund Transitions to True Companions Animal Shelter & Clinic

MaxFund Animal Adoption Center and Veterinary Clinic, operating in Colorado for nearly four decades, has officially rebranded to True Companions Animal Shelter & Clinic. This change marks a significant milestone for the organization, which has emerged as the largest no-kill, nonprofit institution in the state, dedicated to advancing animal welfare and sheltering initiatives.

The rebranding comes as part of True Companions' ongoing commitment to creating meaningful relationships between animals and their human companions. According to the organization, this new name embodies the heart of its mission, reflecting the bonds they work to foster between pets and people. The change is not only a new moniker but signifies a refreshed approach to animal care and a dedication to improving the lives of countless animals.

On March 12, 2026, True Companions will host a ribbon-cutting ceremony at their facility located at 958 Inca St., Denver, CO 80204, at 10 a.m. This event will celebrate the new beginnings under their new name and showcase what True Companions stands for. Attendees can look forward to complimentary gift bags, light refreshments, and an exclusive insight into the new branding. Local media are encouraged to attend to capture the excitement and essence of this new chapter.

Over the years, True Companions has built a vibrant community of over 100,000 supporters in the Denver area, all committed to the welfare of animals in need. The organization has excelled in providing robust programs in adoption, foster care, volunteering, and community events. True Companions aims to maintain the same steadfast goals that MaxFund championed, which includes delivering compassionate care and forming lasting relationships for animals who require it most.

Since its inception in 1988, True Companions has played a pivotal role in the Denver Metro Area's animal welfare landscape. The organization has developed one of the highest-performing adoption and medical care programs available, outpacing national standards significantly. Adopted shelter dogs at True Companions engage in four to seven times more enrichment and playtime activities than the average shelter, demonstrating the organization’s commitment to providing exceptional care and socialization opportunities for animals awaiting their forever homes.

In addition to supporting the animals in their care, True Companions operates a veterinary clinic that offers the same high standard of services to shelter pets as it does to owned pets. In 2025 alone, their clinic provided top-tier, affordable medical care to over 12,000 families in Colorado, featuring advanced surgical and cardiology services.

The new brand, previously known as MaxFund, is eager to continue expanding its life-saving initiatives across Colorado while inviting more community members to partake in their initiatives. The organization remains firmly dedicated to its mission: providing shelter, care, and forever homes for pets in need, particularly those with the most urgent needs, while championing the cause of the no-kill movement through advocacy and community engagement.

Those interested in learning more about the upcoming event, interviewing leadership such as CEO Kathy Gaines or COO Todd Perry, or seeking further information on True Companions' programs are encouraged to contact Sophia Guerriero, Media Communications Manager, at 520-288-3134.

With the newly adopted name, True Companions Animal Shelter & Clinic is set to inspire a future of compassionate animal care and community involvement, ensuring that every animal has the chance for a dignified and loving life.
