My story

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

Are you ready to fall in love with those puppy dog eyes?

Checkers, this adorable little 11 week old border collie mix is just starting to discover the world. She unfortunately had a rough beginning when her family was surrendered to a shelter in Kansas due to their owner losing his house. We are grateful we could help the babies and brought them to safety in Colorado.

Checkers was placed in a foster home where she could receive more personal attention and training. She's learning the ropes from her foster momma dog Nala. For the most part, she's a relaxed little pup! Yes, she's still young, so occasional hyper moments are to be expected. But with her irresistibly adorable and sweet face, who would mind?

If you'd be interested in adding Checkers to your family, please submit an application here: https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/16519/generic

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.
