My story

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

Allow us to introduce you to Zeus, a delightful and somewhat trained purebred German Shepherd. This affectionate dog thrives in an environment where he has space to roam, regular walks, and plenty of attention, as his breed is akin to having a lively three-year-old child in the house. While he may not be the best fit for homes with cats, small animals, or young children, he excels as a loyal companion and protector.

Zeus is an exceptional watchdog, always alert and ready to safeguard his loved ones. His protective nature makes him a reliable guardian, and he forms strong bonds with those he trusts. He does well with other medium to large dogs, especially when introduced in a neutral setting like a park, as evidenced by his positive interactions with a Golden Retriever. This social aspect of his personality highlights his potential to thrive in a loving home with the right companions.

We are urgently seeking a forever home for Zeus, one that can offer him the love and care he deserves. It is truly heartbreaking to consider placing him in a shelter, as he has been a cherished part of our lives for five years. If you or someone you know can provide a nurturing environment for this wonderful dog, please reach out for more information. Sharing this message could make all the difference in finding Zeus the loving home he needs.

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.
