My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

She's a shining star, this dog, with her infectious enthusiasm for long walks and hikes, and her natural talent for being a fantastic travel companion. Sitka's high energy and prey drive mean she's always on the go, but she's also a loving companion who adores snuggling up on the couch. She's adjusted beautifully to her crate, where she can rest and recharge, and although she enjoys getting playful with the bedding, it's clear she's capable of growth and learning.

Sitka thrives as a dominant companion and would pair well with a male, non-reactive dog in the same household. Her playful growls are a natural expression of enthusiasm, but may require some adjustment for new companions. To ensure her comfort, consider avoiding busy dog parks or visiting during quieter hours. Despite her small stature, she's a lively player who appreciates gentle, considerate companions.

We're committed to finding Sitka a special home that meets her needs, and we're hopeful that with your help, we'll succeed. If you're interested in adopting, please submit an application at the link below.

More about this rescue

Founded in May of 2004 by Floss Blackburn, Denkai Animal Sanctuary has enjoyed a long running successful path in providing life saving services for domestic animals in crisis throughout the United States and Mexico.

In the formative years, Denkai established in Weld County, CO having purchased three facilities totaling over 640 acres, performing farming, conservation, large animal rescue, pet animal rescue and low-cost veterinary care for the area, Denkai quickly established as the largest and most diverse organization of its kind in the area.

Seeing a gap in services and need for a strong presence in Montezuma County, Denkai's board of directors voted to relocate the organization in 2017 to Yellow Jacket, CO. In three short years, Denkai has expanded to a second location in Cortez, CO. This location at 209 West Main was purchased in September of 2020 with the help of Region 9 and First National Bank of Cortez.

Denkai Yellow Jacket - Houses, Rehabilitates Equine and Farm Animal rescues.

Denkai -Cortez, CO - This is our 16,000 sf retail center - The store boasts an adoption center for rescued dogs and cats and sells retail pet supplies, accepts donations of used items, and provides low cost programs such as pet food and vaccinations for low income pet owners.

Since Inception, Denkai has provided hands on rescue services to 13,000 pet animals and equine in need.
