My story

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

Tay came in like a wrecking ball. This little lady will waggle her entire body to the sound of your encouragement like the happiest dog in the world.

While she is the most adorable and sweet girl, she has clearly experienced the absolute wrong kind of pupbringing. To the tune of zero manners, forget the leash walking, she's over, under to the side, upside down everywhere lol. She doesn't fully trust people but she tries really hard. Little lady was like a snappy gator when we got her because she had no idea where to direct her energy. She could be found bounding on top of her furry companions (they didn't appreciate that), crawling beneath them, full tilt running into them and side rolling. We kid you not.

Fast forward a couple few weeks....

Tay has been an amazing student. She is learning so quickly with our behavior team here and holy smokes has she been turning it around. This girl is much better on leash, understanding boundaries with people and other dogs. Her mouthiness has subsided and she isn't so worried about the food situation anymore!

Tay has also shown to be pretty good off leash with a decent recall, she will need more work through positive reinforcement with that. Her buddy, Flameo has had a HUGE role in her socialization and learning curve here.

Tay plays hard, she possesses the typical herd of elephants rough and ready pibble play personality and will need a dog who can keep up with that if you have other pets in your home! Tay is a toy hoarder, often loses them..and then finds them...

What a personality on this girl! Did we mention she is also doing VERY well with children? We definitely do not recommend kids under 8 years old for her but she does absolutely adore them.

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.
