My story

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

Who would want to adopt Taco?

A sweet soul, this pup had nowhere to turn and was facing certain death by starvation or dehydration after being dumped on the reservation in the middle of nowhere. A mere skeleton, he was found in the nick of time.

If only he could tell us how this could have possibly happened to him, maybe then we would have a clue.

This little man is safe now, he has an amazing foster home in which he has made himself comfortable on the couch, dog beds and everything soft. He immediately rolled over on his back, happily wagging his tail and scratching back and forth.

At some point in time, he clearly had a loving home. We can find that for him again with your help.

He has a lot of weight to gain before he can be neutered, but in the meantime, if you are interested in this lovely three year old Pughuahua, fill out the adoption application via our website at www.denkaisanctuary.org/adopt

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.
