My story

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

A heartwarming tale unfolds as we learn about a courageous mother dog, Letty, who arrived at the shelter in New Mexico with her newborn puppies, fighting against all odds to survive. This momma dog, despite being just a rack of bones, displayed immense love and kindness towards her babies, showcasing the true spirit of motherhood. It is heart-wrenching to see her in such a fragile state, but her determination to protect her little ones is truly inspiring.

The challenges this family faces are not just limited to survival, as Letty has also been diagnosed with heartworm, a common issue in many southern states. The cost of treatment for her heartworm, along with the care needed for her seven nine-week-old puppies, is substantial. The total amount required to transport them to safety and prepare them for adoption is a significant $5,000. This family is in desperate need of support from the community to ensure their well-being.

Every contribution, no matter how small, can make a significant impact in saving the lives of this courageous momma dog and her precious puppies. The total funding goal of $5,000 may seem daunting, but with the help of a compassionate village, it is possible to reach this target and provide a brighter future for this family. Your generosity can make a difference in their lives, offering them a chance to thrive and find loving forever homes. Will you extend a helping hand and donate even $5.00 to support this family on their journey to safety and happiness?

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.
