My story

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

GET YOUR APPLICATIONS IN TODAY

Hey there! We are thrilled to introduce you to our adorable litter of puppies. These little cuties are an absolute delight to behold, and we suspect they are a mix of border collie and terrier breeds. At just seven weeks old, they already weigh an impressive 5 pounds each!

When it comes to their personalities, these puppies are incredibly outgoing. Most of them are quite sociable, although there are a couple who are a bit more reserved. However, they all adore people. It seems that they came from a situation where they didn't always have enough to eat, which has led to some food aggression issues among them. But don't worry, they are improving day by day.

These precious pups will require homes where they can receive continued training and kindness. It's important that they have access to food whenever they need it, so they may need to be fed separately for a while. We have been working with them, and they are already showing signs of improvement and becoming more calm.

One of our main concerns is that these puppies have already experienced so much hardship at such a young age. We want to ensure that their food aggression doesn't escalate as they grow older. Therefore, if you are interested in adopting one of these little guys, it's crucial that you have some knowledge and willingness to address their behavior issues, particularly when it comes to food and interactions with other dogs. But don't worry, with a little more time and guidance, they can overcome these challenges.

If you're ready to open your heart and home to one of these precious puppies, we invite you to visit our website at denkaisanctuary.org. We estimate that they will likely reach a size of around 40 to 50 pounds, or possibly even less. So, if you're looking for a loving companion who will grow into a medium-sized dog, these puppies might just be the perfect fit for you!

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.
