My story

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

That Face!!!

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION – Blackie
Female | Australian Shepherd–Border Collie Mix

Blackie is a gentle, soulful girl who seems just a bit older—and a bit wiser—than the rest. Outside of her pack, we truly believe she’s going to be the sweetest companion in the world.

In just a day or two, Blackie has already come a long way. She’s still learning to trust, but every small step shows her incredible potential. With patience and kindness, her true personality is already starting to shine.

What we love about Blackie:
• Absolutely lovely and gentle
• Wonderful with other dogs
• No food aggression and no aggression of any kind
• Would do well with calm, respectful dogs in the home
• Deeply loyal once she bonds

Ideal Home:
We’re recommending a calm, quiet environment for Blackie—one where she can continue her socialization at her own pace. A home with experience socializing shy dogs would be ideal. At this time, we are not recommending a home with children.

If you have the patience, understanding, and heart to help a shy dog blossom, Blackie will reward you with unwavering loyalty and devotion. She’s the kind of girl who will be forever at your side once she knows she’s safe.

Sometimes the quiet ones love the hardest.

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.
