My story

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

Sun is an adorable little puppy, radiating joy and energy with every wag of his tail. His happiness is infectious, and it's heartwarming to see him thrive after the Montezuma County Sheriff reached out to us for help this week. We were able to rescue him along with his mother and siblings, who were in a precarious situation due to their owner's inability to provide proper care. The love and spirit of this little guy shine through, and it's a testament to the resilience of animals in challenging circumstances.

Unfortunately, this family found themselves entangled in a troubling environment, as they were part of a drug house in the area. Such situations are all too prevalent, and they often leave innocent pets to bear the brunt of human choices. The plight of these animals is heartbreaking, and it underscores the urgent need for intervention and support. Every day, countless pets suffer due to neglect and abuse, and it is our mission to change that narrative, one rescue at a time.

This is where your generous contributions play a crucial role. We operate without any government funding or assistance, relying solely on the kindness of individuals like you to continue our work. Your support directly impacts the lives of animals like Sun and his family, allowing us to provide them with the care and love they desperately need. Please consider making a donation; your help can be the lifeline that saves these precious lives and gives them a second chance at happiness.

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.
