My story

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

Atlas is a Pyrenees mix with a soft soul and a very shy nature. The world still feels big and overwhelming to him, and he will need an experienced, patient adopter who understands that trust takes time.

Atlas is not a dog for a busy or chaotic household. He will do best in a calm, adult-only home with no children, where his boundaries are respected and his confidence can grow at his own pace. This sweet boy will require continued socialization, consistency, and a commitment to helping him feel safe.

The good news? Atlas does get along well with other dogs, and a confident canine companion may help him come out of his shell. With patience, gentle guidance, and lots of reassurance, Atlas has the potential to blossom into a loyal and loving companion.

Atlas is searching for a special person — someone willing to put in the time and work to help him feel secure and show him that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. If you have the heart and experience to help Atlas thrive, he will be worth every step of the journey.

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.
