My story

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

Meet Momma Callie



Callie is a 2-year-old Blue Heeler mix who came to us after arriving at an overcrowded Houston shelter with her newborn puppies. She was completely overwhelmed and shut down—but thanks to an amazing Houston foster, Callie and her babies finally had the chance to decompress and feel safe.



 



The little family had a temporary setback with some hair loss and crusty skin, so they stayed in Texas a bit longer than planned. After treatment, they made their way to Colorado, where all of Callie’s puppies have found fosters or adopters. Now it’s Callie’s turn to focus on herself.



 



She’s still wary of new people, animals, and busy environments, but once she warms up she blossoms into a happy, bouncy, silly girl. With slow, proper introductions she does well with other dogs. Cats, however, still confuse her a bit.



 



Callie is housetrained, crate trained, walks nicely on a leash, and loads right into the car. She loves to explore and has great recall once bonded. She does have a touch of escape-artist energy, so a secure fence is important. She’s also scheduled to be spayed soon—no more babies for this sweet momma.



 



Callie needs a calm, patient home that understands shy dogs and can help her continue building confidence at her own pace. If you have the love and time to help this gentle soul thrive, she will reward you with endless loyalty.

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.
