OFFERING MULTIPLE VETERINARY OPTIONS AT DENKAI THIS SATURDAY, OCTOBER 5, 2024

On Saturday, October 5, 2024, residents of Montezuma County and nearby areas will have access to a variety of veterinary care options provided by Denkai Animal Sanctuary in collaboration with Ponderosa Pet Mobile Vet Services. The event will take place at Denkai, located at 209 West Main in Cortez, CO, and will run from 9 am to 12 pm. During this time, pet owners can take advantage of low-cost vaccinations and wellness services for their dogs and cats. This walk-in clinic will offer essential vaccinations, including rabies shots, de-worming treatments, and microchipping, all at a significantly reduced price. For more details and to complete a wellness application online, interested individuals can visit www.denkasianctuary.org. It’s important to arrive early, as services are provided on a first-come, first-served basis. For any inquiries, Denkai can be contacted via email at [email protected] or by phone at 970-217-1457.

After the initial wellness clinic, Dr. Nichole Ramey will be available at Denkai from 12 pm to 4 pm to provide additional veterinary services. She is offering her office visit at a competitive rate of $75, which is quite remarkable for the area. Dr. Ramey will be able to see a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and small mammals such as ferrets and guinea pigs, as well as reptiles and exotic animals like birds.

Hey there, dear friends! As you may already be aware, we are currently in the final stages of preparing to raffle off our magnificent 24-acre Yellow Jacket, CO facility. Our ultimate goal is to find a deserving individual who can truly appreciate the beauty of this place and also fulfill our bank's requirements by paying down the note on our Hesperus, CO facility. We believe that this raffle can be a unique and creative way to achieve both of these objectives.

However, we have a small request and we hope you can lend us a helping hand. We don't want this raffle to have just one winner, but rather, we would love to have additional door prizes for the runners-up. So, if any of you or your businesses would like to contribute items that can be given away as door prizes, we would be incredibly grateful for your support!

If you are located in the Four Corners area or the front range area, we can arrange to pick up the donated items from you. Alternatively, if you prefer to mail a door prize, please send it to 970 CR 126 Hesperus, CO 81326. We truly appreciate any contributions you can make towards making this raffle a memorable and engaging experience for everyone involved.
Stay tuned for more exciting updates and additional information about the raffle.

We are working hard to put together a fun-filled event that will bring joy and excitement to all participants. Thank you for your continued support, and we can't wait to share more details with you soon!

What is happening? Giving has just stopped and it is hurting our non profit horribly. Funding that we were once able to rely on to help the animals we rescue here at Denkai Animal Sanctuary seems to have hit a pause button and the only ones suffering for that are the innocent animals.

Our basket of financial resources is spread out so that when one program is down, the others help to float the non profit, yet the two programs who tend to be our biggest part are now so far down, it is nearly impossible to pay a skeleton crew to care for animals. We are scraping every penny together and the ones we don't have together every month to make payroll.

I have been in this industry twenty-two years and have gone through some very difficult times with Denkai. I went without pay for ten years so that the organization could grow and pay other staff. I'm going without pay again so that we can stay afloat.

Most days I tell myself that I don't have to be here doing this, it is a choice that I am making and it is difficult. I could just go get a job that has stability and the ability to pay regularly. But of course I won't do it. My heart is with these animals and we as a non profit have to figure out how to adapt when what once worked, works no longer.

The beginning of Denkai was extremely difficult. No money, not a dime, living in a home with no utilities, windows that were broken and water that worked only at times, sacrificed my health and my time with my older boys. The animals were always well cared for but I was not. I had pneumonia every winter for years after that. There were mornings I would wake up wondering how I was going to get fuel to get to town and get hay for the horses. This was all before social media. I learned it all the hard way, there was no manual to work off of. Some people were kind, others tried what they could to shut our doors.

Professional Jealousy was and still is a green monster from other individuals in the industry. I have had many try to challenge the work we do here, the progress I pushed for and none have succeeded. They will continue to fail. Mainly because I'm too stubborn to give up.

I thought for sure Covid was going to be the end of Denkai. Boy was I wrong, the funding and adoptions that came from that time frame launched us into needed help and our amazing transport van. It motivated me to keep going, keep saving lives and continue to push as hard as I could for these animals.

Tonight, I sit here, trying to figure out what I need to do differently for this amazing organization I am supposed to be leading and the people who continue to walk through the fire with me for it.

Wondering what the factors are this year in giving, we know it is down for charities across the board. Thank goodness for the grant making foundations who are coming through for certain programs. Are people that scared? The elections are killing everyone financially? Ultimately it feels as though we ourselves are the ones hurting the economy when we don't or can't support it anymore.

We have so many irons in the fire here at Denkai and I for one am excited to see the end result and will one way or another reach that end result, but we need help to do that.

These projects include:

Low-Cost Veterinary Clinic - Coming Mid Summer
Rescue Dog Behavior Recovery Camp
Mobile Adoptions - regularly scheduled weekly

Animal Rescue Program Continues
Medical
Foster
Transport
Adoption
Horse Rescue - Adoptions
Retail Store - We are working to convert this to pet supplies only

Would you be willing to commit to giving even $5.00 per month to our organization and the services we offer? We have enough followers and supporters on social media that if even 50,000 people gave $5.00 per month, we would be able to budget to pay staff and cover medical bills for our rescue pets without stressing out and sweating over every penny.

URGENT PLEASE SHARE FOR ADOPTION!!!!

Morray's foster is deploying and we have to find him a place to go immediately!! Will you help??

Meet Mo, a charming lad who goes by the nickname "MO". This sweet boy weighs around 100 lbs. and is currently on a strict diet to help manage his weight. Although it's just a guess, it seems that Mo may have been hit by a car in the past, resulting in a fractured leg and a noticeable limp. Despite the pain he experiences, Mo remains a gentle and loving dog who enjoys short walks, marrow bones, and playing with his stuffies. His foster parent describes him as the best dog they have ever fostered, noting how adorable his smile is when he receives treats.

Mo's health concerns include a low Thyroid condition, which has been affecting his overall well-being. To address this, he is currently taking Levothyroxine (.5mg) twice daily, Rimadyl (100 mg) twice daily, and Gabapentin (300 mg X2) twice daily. The monthly cost of these medications amounts to roughly $170. Despite efforts to remove the Gabapentin in consultation with the Vet, it was found that Mo experiences pain and stops using his leg without it. Additionally, Mo has recently started on heartworm preventive medication to ensure his continued health and well-being.

3
In terms of training, Mo knows basic commands such as sit and is gentle when it comes to food. He is good with kids, although his interactions with cats can lead to playful barking if they run. Mo is currently working on improving his leash walking skills and recall, as he tends to wander off and enjoys running alongside goats or horses in the pasture. Despite his challenges, Mo's foster parent is dedicated to providing him with the care and attention he needs to thrive and lead a happy life.

NINE MONTHS IN RESCUE - WHAT IS HAPPENING!?!?
PLEASE SHARE FOR SCOOB, WE HAVE TO MAKE A PUSH FOR HIM!

APPLY HERE, WE WILL EVEN WAIVE THE ADOPTION FEE!
https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=1776831&name=Scoob

The pain and sadness in Scoob's eyes are palpable. It's as if he has seen the worst of humanity and has lost all hope. His story is heartbreaking - he has watched his siblings suffer and die from Parvo, and the ones that survived were attacked and killed by a pack of dogs. Scoob himself has been a victim of violence, and he has never received any medical care in his two years of life.

Despite all of this, Scoob is still capable of love. He cuddled up to the animal care staff and craved affection, even though he was clearly terrified. It's clear that all he needs is a kind and loving human to show him that life can be good. He deserves to be treated with compassion and to never suffer again. If you're that person, please consider fostering Scoob or sponsoring his medical care.

Even if you can't do either of those things, simply sharing his story can make a difference. Let's give Scoob the chance at a happy life that he deserves. This is a crisis intake situation, and any help is appreciated. If you're able to foster Scoob, please visit the Denkai Sanctuary website to learn more. If you're able to sponsor his medical care, you can do so through Venmo. And if you're not able to do either of those things, please share his story on social media. Together, we can make a difference in Scoob's life.

IF YOU ARE AROUND TOMORROW, COME ON BY OUR ADOPTION CENTER IN CORTEZ AND MEET THIS SWEET BABY!

Apply here to adopt: https://www.wagtopia.com/search/pet?id=1992016&name=Marcus

Meet Marcus, a lovable and resilient pup who is looking for his forever home! Marcus, along with his siblings Marshall, Marty, and Marvin, and their momma Sabine, were rescued from the tough streets of Houston, Texas. Sabine, a brave and caring mother, struggled to provide for her babies in the scorching heat. Luckily, they were brought to a shelter where they received nourishing meals and much-needed veterinary care for the first time in their lives. However, their time was running out as they were given only a few days to find a solution before being put on the euthanasia list.

Thankfully, Denkai stepped in to save this precious family. Last week, they made the journey from Texas to Colorado, where Sabine was welcomed by a foster family. However, Marcus and his three siblings are still searching for their forever homes. Can you be the one to provide a loving and caring environment for one of these adorable pups? They have already endured so much in their short lives and deserve a chance to experience the love and security of a forever family.

Marcus, at just 3 months, 2 weeks, and 3 days old, is a male pup with a large build and weighs approximately 9 lbs. He is full of energy and curiosity, ready to explore the world with his new family. Marcus and his siblings have already shown incredible resilience and a strong will to survive. By opening your heart and home to Marcus, you will not only be giving him a second chance at life but also experiencing the joy and unconditional love that only a furry companion can bring. So, why wait? Consider adopting Marcus and make a positive difference in his life, as well as your own.

For the Animals!

Denkai Animal Sanctuary is expanding reach into Farmington New Mexico. Our efforts on behalf of a community in dire need will continue. We plan to build into a low cost veterinary clinic, animal shelter, and provide services for funding through our brick and mortar and online retail store. Denkai’s vehicle donation program will continue as a means of support for the many animals in need in New Mexico and surrounding states.

Benefit Purpose. Denkai Animal Sanctuary has been organized to operate exclusively for charitable purposes, including but not limited to:

1. To set up and maintain a sanctuary (no-kill shelter) to provide permanent shelter for farm animals, mustang horses, and other domesticated animals; to rescue unwanted, abandoned, and/or abused animals; to provide adoption network services; and to provide information on the care and treatment of animals.

2. To research, monitor, and document inhumane or abusive treatment of farm animals, mustang horses, and other domesticated animals throughout the United States and to seek reform when abuses are found.
