My story

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

Phoenix, a beautiful Golden Retriever mix, found herself on death row along with her entire litter of puppies. It's a heartbreaking situation that happens all too often when owners don't want to take care of their pets and leave them to be euthanized. But Phoenix's story takes a turn for the better when a networking post asking for help caught the attention of some kind-hearted individuals who were determined to find her a safe place.



Despite the trauma of being in a shelter and facing death, Phoenix's personality shines through. Her foster says she is truly amazing. She is great with kids and okay with other dogs if introduced properly. Due to her past, she is extremely sensitive to correction and wants nothing more than to please. Phoenix will even tuck herself in at night and sleep with her crate open. It's clear that Noreen is a sweet and gentle dog who deserves a chance at a happy life. And that's exactly what the people who rescued her are hoping to give her. Phoenix deserves a forever home that will spoil the absolute crap out of her.



Noreen's story is a reminder that there are so many dogs out there who are in need of loving homes. It's heartbreaking to think of all the dogs who are euthanized simply because their owners didn't want to take care of them. But it's heartwarming to see people come together to save a dog like Noreen and give her a second chance. We can only hope that more dogs like her will find their way into loving homes and never have to face the threat of death again.

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.
