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

Available for Adoption, Foster, Rescue Transfer Name: David Age: 2 years Breed: Great Pyrenees Mix Weight: approx 60 lbs He Wants to Trust You. He Just Needs Time. He is very shy… but oh, does he want to be your friend. This sweet boy absolutely loves people — he just hasn’t quite figured out how to navigate the world yet. He has not been on a leash up to this point in his life, but he is incredibly smart and eager to connect. You can see it in his eyes. He leans in. He tries. He just needs someone who understands that trust isn’t rushed — it’s built. He is part of the over 100 Great Pyrenees rescued from a local hoarding case and he is now one of only two adult dogs left still waiting for placement. Imagine surviving that kind of life… and still choosing kindness. That’s him. He will need: • A patient, calm home • A secure yard • Someone willing to allow slow acclimation • A person who understands shy/undersocialized dogs • Zero pressure — just consistency and kindness If you can continue his socialization without pushing him beyond his limits… if you understand that progress may come in inches, not miles… if you believe the quiet ones are worth the work… Please reach out. He is friendly. He is trying. He just needs someone to finish what rescue started. Visit our website to fill out the proper application: www.denkaisanctuary.org/adopt ##2651048##
