My story

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

Injured, Afraid, and Still Wagging His Tail



Bear is one of our most recent rescues, and when we picked him up, he was badly injured. He’s still not putting any weight on his right hind leg and is very fearful and not very handleable yet. His injuries were caused by other dogs before he came to us — not the dogs he is with now. He was kept separately when we rescued him.



When Bear first arrived, he was terrified. He truly believed that everything around him was going to hurt him. And yet… every single day when I go in to care for him, he wags his tail and tries to come greet me.



This boy has the kindest face. You can see it in his eyes — an incredible soul who wants nothing more than to be loved. Despite the pain, despite the fear, Bear is still hoping.



Bear has been seen by our veterinarian, and thankfully his leg is not broken. He is currently on antibiotics and pain medication, and we are giving his body time to heal. We are still very concerned and will be reassessing him again this weekend.



Bear urgently needs a foster home.
He needs a quiet, patient place where he can rest, feel safe, and learn that he will never be hurt again.



If you can help this sweet boy — by fostering or by making a donation toward his care — please fill out an application or donate through Denkai Animal Sanctuary.

Bear has been through so much… and yet he still wags his tail.
Let’s make sure the rest of his story is filled with love.

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.
