My story

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

Shaun is a big ol' boy, with a big ol' heart! He cherishes his time playing with other dogs, and running in the yard. Children bring out his softer, gentler side..and his wet, sloppy kisses. Shaun likes to stick right by your side, watching, protecting. There is so much personality in this guy, lurking beneath the surface, just waiting for the right person to come along so he can let loose.

Shaun has been with us for quite a while now. After his owner passed, he and multiple other pets were left to fend for themselves with only occasional care from some neighbors until we were contacted to help. We brought Shaun and his sister into our care.

Once the bloat from the tapeworms they were infested with subsided, we could see just how thin these pups were. Based on their behavior, we could only assume they were allowed to run free and had never been inside a house. Any chance they got, they would break out of their kennels, devouring anything in their path - food or otherwise.

Slowly, they learned they were continually getting food on a regular basis so they weren't forced to eat whatever they could find laying around. They also realized being inside is actually quite nice. Shaun was moved to a home, but unfortunately, this turned out to not be his forever and he was returned a few days ago.

If you can offer Shaun a stable environment with patience, positive reinforcement, and love, please reach out to us or fill out the appropriate application 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.
