Story
Meet Blackie One look into Blackie’s eyes, and you can feel it… that quiet, gentle soul just waiting to be loved. Blackie is one of eight dogs we recently took in from a hoarding case. Her world was small, unfamiliar, and overwhelming—and her recovery has been slow, but meaningful. She has come as far as she can with us, and now she needs something more… a home. A very special home. Blackie is not a “typical” adoption. She is a heart project. She will need a person who understands that what she needs right now is socialization, not training. Someone who knows how to let a dog set the pace. Someone who understands that trust is earned, not forced. The good news? Once you gain that trust—and we truly believe you will—she is going to blossom. What Blackie Needs: A calm, patient home willing to go at her pace An experienced adopter familiar with shy or undersocialized dogs Slow, thoughtful introductions to any resident dogs (she may do well with the right match) No cats or young children (fast movements are still very scary for her) Blackie cannot be cornered, rushed, or pushed. She needs someone with patience, compassion, and the willingness to meet her where she is—every single day. In return, you’ll get something incredibly special: the chance to watch a dog discover love, safety, and life for the very first time. We will be here every step of the way to guide you, and: A site visit will be required Follow-ups will be part of her journey to ensure success If you feel called to be the person who changes Blackie’s life… please reach out. Apply to adopt: www.denkaisanctuary.org/adopt Because dogs like Blackie don’t just need homes…They need humans who understand them. ##2612039##

Story
Meet Cedar   If you're looking for a puppy with brains, looks, and a little bit of charm, Cedar might be your guy.   This handsome 3-month-old Border Collie/Heeler mix is currently being fostered in Parker, CO, and has been making quite the impression. Cedar is incredibly smart—he's house trained with a good routine, lets his foster know when he needs to go outside, sleeps through the night, and catches on to new things faster than most humans before their morning coffee.   He's great with other dogs, loves kids, and has done wonderfully with his foster's young nieces, who are absolutely obsessed with him. Cedar enjoys toys, loves a game of fetch, and gets very excited about breakfast and dinner—which, honestly, is one of the most relatable things about him.   One of our favorite things about Cedar is how well-balanced he is. He loves to play, loves to snuggle, and takes his naps just as seriously as his adventures.   He's still a growing puppy and will need a family committed to continuing his training and helping him reach his full potential. With his intelligence, sweet nature, and movie-star good looks, we have a feeling he won't be available for long.   Interested in meeting Cedar?

Story
Meet Clover   Clover is the sister to Cedar and Tulip, and just like her siblings, she’s a bright little Border Collie/Heeler mix with a lot going on behind those eyes. Around 11 weeks old, Clover is already showing off her smarts—she’s picking things up quickly and will absolutely thrive with someone who’s excited to keep her mind busy and keep her learning.   She can be a little unsure when first meeting new people or bigger animals, but she warms up with a little patience (and maybe a few treats). Once she settles in, you start to see her playful, sweet personality come through. She’s currently in a foster home with other dogs, cats, and kids, and is doing well as she continues to build confidence.   Clover is still working on the basics like potty training, so she’ll need a home ready to guide her as she grows. She’d do best with someone who understands her breed mix and is ready for an active, intelligent pup who will want both mental and physical outlets.   If you’re looking for a loyal, clever companion to grow with, Clover might just be your girl   Apply to foster or adopt today! https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=2716822&name=Clover ##2716822##

Story
Baloo is a delightful, energetic 9 year old dog. My wife and I have owned him since he was 1. He loves playing fetch more than anything. He is good with kids and adults alike. He is responsive off leash. Loves the car. He is easy going and would happily crawl into your lap to be pet all day. We are sad to be trying to rehome him as he has been a part of our family for 8 years but we have grown and our space has shrunk and we just cant give him the activity and space to roam that he needs. We just had our second kid and we are spread too thinly, but he has been great with our children and and is highly tolerant of the hair pulling and poking that comes along with young children. He gets along with other dogs no problem. He would do best with an active family that can get him the daily activity he needs.

Story
Surrender Request – Topo Needs a New Home We’ve received a surrender request for Topo, a 5-year-old, 60-lb mixed breed (mostly cattle dog) who was originally adopted from Denkai. His family loves him dearly but has realized he would do best in a home without young children, as they can make him anxious. They’ve made the thoughtful decision to rehome him so he can thrive in a more suitable environment. About Topo:• Male, neutered• Housebroken & leash trained• Rides well in the car• Affectionate, friendly, and very bonded to his people• Healthy, up to date on vet care• Currently on anti-anxiety medication and has worked with a trainer Dog & Cat Socialization:Topo gets along well with many dogs—he especially enjoys playing with submissive or easygoing companions. He can be reactive with reactive dogs, so matching will be important. No known cat interactions noted. ‍‍ Best Home:Topo would do best in a calm home with adults or older kids/teens, and no young children. Current Status:His current family is able to foster him until an appropriate home is found, so he is safe and cared for while we search. If you’re interested in adopting or fostering Topo, please submit an application through Denkai: https://denkaisanctuary.org/adopt ##874073##
