Coeur d'Alene, Idaho · 501(c)(3) nonprofit
A sanctuary in the making — built around the dogs who need it most.

The Max Pack is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded by Kristen, with a little help from Max — her mini Aussie, and the heart of the whole idea.
Some people carry a dream quietly for years. For me, it's always been this one. I've spent my life loving dogs and imagining a place built entirely around their wellbeing — not a way station, but a true home.
We're at the very beginning, and I won't pretend otherwise. Right now it's me, Max, and a vision I believe in deeply.

A mini Aussie who never met a lake he didn't want to swim across. He's the reason this whole thing has a name.
We're officially a registered 501(c)(3) charity — so every dollar you give now goes straight toward building a grant-ready foundation and finding the land this sanctuary will call home. It's the unglamorous groundwork everything else gets built on — and early supporters are the reason it becomes possible.
We're officially incorporated and IRS-approved as a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible charity.
Open the door to grants and tax-deductible gifts, and put the groundwork in place to secure land.
Bring the full vision to life — including something special we'll be sharing more about soon.
We'll update this page as we hit each milestone, so you can see your support at work.
We've got something special planned for The Max Pack. Sign up to follow our progress as we grow.

Every sanctuary starts with the people who believed in it first. Today, that can be you.
