Hi Floss! It's been two years since I adopted my little Maggie (she was DeeDee at DenKai). A lot has happened. She and I were doing just fine and she was my little lover girl. Always sweet and cuddly...very much the baby and happy she didn't have to share my affection.

Well a little over a year ago I ended up having to take my niece's infant in as a Foster child when he was taken away from a Meth house. I had never been a mother and didn't know what to do. I worried Maggie would not adjust to it either. However, because she had been a mommy in her previous home, she knew exactly what to do. Instead of being jealous of the attention I gave Austin, she became his best buddy and adopted him. Those first nights he was here and he would cry, she would run to him and snuggle him and kiss him and just lay beside him. They have a tight bond as you can see in the attached picture.

So, I just wanted to tell you once again how thankful I am for the sweet girl you rescued for me. She is happy in her forever home and loves her family. I wish you and DenKai nothing but blessings in the wonderful work you do.

All my best,
Donna Webb

Maggie was rescued from a Wyoming Animal Shelter and came to Denkai with a treatable eye infection for which she would have otherwise been euthanized.

New Sanctuary Arrivals

Prince, 12 ducks and 1 goose:
Jerre Fisher, an amazing rescuer, mother and wife most recently passed away after losing her battle with cancer. Jerre had an enormous heart and many rescued animals, most all of which her family was able to place. A few of the very special have come to reside at our Sanctuary. Their story follows;
Never have I had such a group of animals come in with so much spirit in them.


Jerre’s animals most definitely carry her within them. This was obvious the minute I saw them. Twelve ducks and one goose, all reside together at our Sanctuary now and as I observed these animals after placing them in their yard, I began to realize just how special they really are; They all carry scars like Jerre did of injuries past that they mostly healed from.


The goose had a broken wing and leg that are now long healed, this goose has a very kind eye, there are a couple of the ducks that have had broken legs and still get around just fine with the flock thanks to Jerre saving them.













Prince is Jerre’s 34 year old appaloosa gelding who came to Denkai with a very special diet. Prince has no teeth so is on senior feed, beet pulp and several other supplements to keep his health up. Never have I ever experienced a horse this angry and hurt. For the first two days here, Prince refused to eat, after all he had been removed from the only place he had called home for about 10 years, what was this strange place and where was his mom; The woman that used to feed him every day by hand and pet him while he ate?

About day three Prince had had it with me, he was ticked off and letting me know about it. I walked into his pen to feed him his grain and he came at me with ears pinned and eyes bloodshot. I figured, ok, he either eats or he bites me. Well he went to the bucket of food as I was holding it and ate. I cried hard and began to pet him, his ears went forward as through my tears I told him that I was so incredibly sorry he had lost his mother and that she missed him so badly and wanted him to be ok. The anger in his eyes began to disappear and just like that we had made headway. I stood there that day petting him, crying and talking to him for an hour while he ate. Since then, Prince has been a little bit better about eating on his own, but always welcomes the company of Sweet Pea. Volunteers are needed for Prince to give him the one on one attention he deserves and has grown used to. Please contact us if you can help or would be willing to contribute towards the cost of his care: info@denkaisanctuary.org or (970) 895-2337.

Jerre Fisher Memorial Fund

Jerre Fisher:

Greeley, CO - Jerre Fisher is one of the most amazing individuals that I have come across since founding Denkai Animal Sanctuary. Aside of caring for her own wonderful bunch of animals, Jerre reached above and beyond the call of duty for Denkai's Sanctuary animals and most recently the arabian horses in need.

On February 20, 2009 Jerre lost a very long battle with Cancer and still in those moments prior to her passing strongly advocated that her animal companions be taken care of.

In Memory of Jerre Fisher; Denkai has Established the Jerre Fisher Memorial Fund to carry on her heartfelt work on behalf of animals in need.

Contributions toward this fund will help to establish a much needed veterinary facility at Denkai Animal Sanctuary and will help to provide emergency care to homeless animals who would otherwise perish.

Aug. 4, 1936–Feb. 20, 2009

Age: 72

Residence: Greeley

Jerre Lee Fisher, loving grandmother, mother and wife, passed away Feb. 20, 2009, at Hospice and Palliative Care of Northern Colorado after a long and brave battle with breast cancer.

She was born Aug. 4, 1936, in Long Beach, Calif., to Arthur and Florence (Chamberlain) Frederiksen. She grew up in Greeley and graduated from Greeley High in 1954, excelling in band as majorette, Pep Club, athletics and a member of National Honor Society. In 1965, she married Charles Largent. They later divorced but remained good friends. She married Errol Fisher in 1998. Jerre retired from the State of Colorado 19th Judicial District in 1998 after 29 years.

She loved taking care of her many animals, especially her inseparable chemo companion yorkie, Amazing Grace. She lived and loved life to the fullest and enjoyed Dixieland and Queen City Jazz, cruising to Alaska and the Caribbean and Harley trips to California Highway 1 with her husband, Errol and her brother, Doug. Jerre was past director of the Weld County Humane Society and was instrumental in the early development of the organization as a safe and humane shelter for homeless animals. She was a member of the Greeley/Evans Moose Lodge No. 909, a longtime member of the Greeley Harley Owners Group No. 1462 and editor of the H.O.G. Herald newsletter. She was an avid supporter of many needy groups, including Denkai Animal Sanctuary, American Humane Association, Triangle Cross Ranch and Relay for Life. In her spare time, she crocheted dozens of baby blankets and hats and donated them to the Monfort Birthing Center at N.C.M.C. Jerre enjoyed sharing her many artistic and creative talents, including sewing, drawing, calligraphy and flower gardening.

Jerre is survived by her husband, Errol; two daughters, Lynn Largent and Lauris (Brad) Laue, all of Greeley; a stepdaughter, Kelly (Scott) Wheeler of Dallas, Texas; five stepsons, Mike of Dallas, Tom, Steve and Rick of Greeley and Mark of Denver. She loved and will be dearly missed by her 15 grandchildren, Mark, Mitch, Lauren, Sarah, Jeff, Tyler, Ronnie, Demi, Nick, Jake, Derek, Josh, Atienne, Tony and Nate.

She was preceded in death by her son, Scott Largent; her brother, Doug; and her parents.

Rosie is perhaps the most precious little girl many of us have ever known. Her story is nothing short of miraculous, so similar to those you may view on Animal Cops.

Rosie is a 4 year old Chihuahua, she grew up at a local Fort Collins Dairy in a home with many people and children whom she absolutely adored. Rosie would anxiously wait for the School bus every day looking for the children and following them home. Rosie's life was no cake walk. She resided under the trailer house with her own family of dogs.

One day all of this changed for Rosie, she was running along her merry way as she did every day when she was run over by a truck. Rosie, in an enormous amount of pain was placed by her owners on their front porch step next to a filthy jacket and a dead starling that the cat had brought as an offering. The weather was below freezing that day. She lay for two days, in shock and freezing on the front porch of this run down house with her frozen bowl of milk next to her. Her pain was unbearable.

A kind woman came to Rosie's rescue after two days had gone by. Dawn from Fort Collins saw this poor little girl and immediately came to her rescue. Dawn was able to gain ownership of Rosie and set to calling every rescue group she could find asking for help for this little girl. Dawn had x-rays done and discovered that Rosie needed an orthopedic surgeon immediately. Dawn Contact Denkai Animal Sanctuary, we were happy to send out an e-mail requesting help.

Lori Montano brought her down to Downtown Animal Clinic here in Denver, were Dr. Umlauf, the premier orthopedic veterinary surgeon in Colorado, performed the necessary surgery to fix her several injuries.

There were, I believe, four fractures to repair, including one of her acetabulum/femoral head area. There were no dislocations, so there shouldn't be a problem in the future with aseptic necrosis of the femoral head often caused if this kind of injury is not repaired quickly.

Dr. Umlauf donated all of his time to perform the surgery, and more importantly paid the clinic to use the surgical suite and the facilities for her subsequent recovery out of his own pocket. If there is any way donations for this pup could be used to pay some of the vet clinic expenses, it would it be much appreciated.

Thank you all for all of your concern and help with this sweet girl. She wins the hearts of everyone with whom she comes in contact and I am so glad she will have a caring and responsible home to go to. In particular, thanks to Dawn who showed the concern in the first place to rescue this pup from her former owners who left her to languish in pain, and who continues to check in with Lori every day to find out how she's doing. Thanks to Floss Blackburn of Denkai Sanctuary who sent out the appeal. Thanks to Lori Montano who contacted the surgeon after I forwarded Floss' email to her. Thanks to Dr. Emily for keeping in touch with the surgeon to get regular updates that I can pass along to all concerned. Thanks to Bob for giving this sweet pup a home when she's ready to leave the clinic. Thanks to Dr. McManus and Mary and all the staff at the Downtown Animal Clinic for their time and care and concern for this pup. And a very special thanks to Dr. Ed Umlauf who performed the surgeries on this sweet angel pup out of his own pocket.

And most importantly, thank you to Bob Grube, Vice President for Denkai Animal Sanctuary for giving Rosie the best home she could have ever hoped for!

Ways to Give - We need Your Support!

Taken from Kathy Zaffore: A dozen things to reduce taxes

MAKE A CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION – TAKE YOUR CHOICE AND
BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE DURING THIS HOLIDAY SEASON:
• GIVE MONEY
You can use your credit card as long as the date processed is in 2008 (even if you don’t pay until January or even later). Or mail checks early because the charity may process your contribution on the date received rather than the date of post mark. For a gift over $250 at one time – you MUST get a receipt!!!! Your cancelled check is not good enough.

To give on line, simply go to your favorite charity’s web site –almost all allow you to make a contribution on line with a credit card. Otherwise, try www.guidestar.com .

For your friend who has everything, make a contribution in his/her name to his/her favorite charity. It is deductible to YOU.

• CLEAN OUT CLOSETS, GARAGE, KITCHEN AND MAKE A
CHARITABLE CONTRIBUTION OF NONCASH GOODS TO
GOODWILL OR ARC OR DISABLED VETERANS ETC ETC.
To assure that your contribution is deductible – DOCUMENT it.
Take photos, make a list of items along with their original purchase price and their current thrift store value. BE REALISTIC. You can use www.itsdeductible.com as a guide, but remember that the IRS does NOT sanction that web site’s valuations. You are now required to have receipts to prove the purchase price. Just be aware of that. Get a signed and dated
receipt if your gift exceeds $250 per trip. Be sure to give us your lists to use in preparation of your tax return.

• GO SHOPPING
Pick up an “angel” ornament in almost any store or mall and buy a gift for someone who really needs a smile. Keep the receipt – it is deductible.

• CONSIDER GIVING AWAY THAT OLD CLUNKER CAR (OR BOAT OR TRAILER OR TIMESHARE OR…OTHER BIG THING).
If you give a car to charity before the end of the year, you could get a big deduction. Here are the rules, briefly. If the charity sells the car at auction, your deduction is the amount the car sold for and the charity will supply you (and the IRS)
with a 1099. If the charity will use the car in its mission or gift the car to a needy person, you will get a fair market value deduction and the charity will give you a letter indicating that it will indeed make use of the car itself. Big difference. Shop
around to find a charity that can use your car. If it isn’t running, how about a school for mechanics?? ☺

• VOLUNTEER MILEAGE IS DEDUCTIBLE!
If you drive your car to do volunteer work…your mileage is deductible. Pull together your log showing date, reason, and miles. Don’t overlook this deduction! If you drive thousands of miles, have the organization give you a letter thanking you for
driving A LOT (have them use your specific amount from your well maintained log). For 2008, the deduction is 14 cents per mile – which doesn’t sound like much, but if you drive 1,000 miles (a mere 20 miles a week) driving seniors to doctor appointments (for example), you will have a $140 deduction.

• GIVE WITHOUT GIVING A CENT
For a nondeductible, but ongoing gift, to your favorite charity, look at www.goodsearch.com. Goodsearch will give money to your charity EVERY TIME you do an on line search through Goodsearch. It works! Try it!

Daisy's Surgery A Success!

After only two weeks of waiting and fund raising, Daisy, the three year old rottweiler who survived the California Wildfires last fall has successfully undergone her TPLO surgery and is recovering nicely in her foster home.

A huge thank you goes out to Dr. Kerrihard, Kristin Des Marais, Colorado's Helping Hands Foundation, and our many caring and supportive individual contributors. Together with your help, $1,500.00 was raised!

We will continue to keep you updated as to Daisy's progress. Thank you for giving her a very Happy Holiday!

Meet the Birds of Denkai!

Denkai Houses Many Turkeys, Chickens and Ducks. View the below videos for a sneak peak. Please excuse the background noise, we were unloading hay and this video camera picks up everything!

Give the Gift of Life this Holiday Season!

This year, Denkai Animal Sanctuary has given assistance to hundreds of domestic, farm animals and mustang horses throughout Colorado and the United States. We operate through contributions from kind and caring individuals such as yourself.

Make a contribution in the name of your family or friends this holiday season by sponsoring one of our many special animals who would otherwise have been homeless without your support. For a mere $25.00 per month, you can help to save a life!

Contributions are tax deductible within the means of the IRS 501(c)3 code. Visit www.denkaisanctuary.org and click on any donation icon to contribute towards the animal of your choice.

Read below about some of our special animals and their special needs!



Meet The Fonz!
This 300lb goat roamed the streets of Fort Collins for about two weeks creating a flood of calls to the Larimer Humane Society. They were unable to apprehend this large escapee, so it was Denkai to the rescue! Fonzie has a very happy go lucky personality and has quickly become a favorite here at the Sanctuary!






Meet Babs!
Babs is one of our senior residents here at the Sanctuary. She was taken in when another farmed animal Sanctuary closed its doors. Babs resides here along with two other ewes all are near 14 years of age!




Say Hello to My Little Friend! Chico is a polish rooster. He was one of many purchased at a feed store and since he did not turn out a hen, he was unwanted. Chico is very sweet, loves to roost on his little house and would love to meet his sponsor this holiday season!















Charlotte!

Charlotte is brand new to our Sanctuary. She was picked up as a stray in the streets of Loveland by Larimer Humane Society. They quickly discovered her escapee potential after chasing her a few times and when nobody claimed her, she was passed on to our Sanctuary. This little lady is around a year old and has a lot of growing to do! This is one pig that will never see a holiday dinner from the plate! She will live her life out here at our Sanctuary! We would like to thank Cache La Poudre Feeds in Fort Collins for supplying her with plenty of feed for the next few weeks!




Sweet Pea!

Sweet Pea is a favorite to anybody who has visited Denkai Animal Sanctuary.
She was the victim of severe neglect which left her crippled, but still able to walk. We have maintained her for the last few years and are finding that she now needs a cart to help ease the strain on her front legs, shoulders and her back. We are working round the clock to raise a very needed $1,000.00 for her cart: www.doggon.com A contribution on her behalf would change her life!

Max the Potbellied Pig finds a home!

I had the pleasure of driving Max the potbellied pig who came to our Sanctuary from Denver Dumb Friends League to his new home in Grand Junction, CO with Lynn and her furry family of birds, dogs and horses. Lynn does and incredible job maintaining and caring for her animals and Max fit right in.



Upon arrival, Lynn had a nice comfy futon bed with blankets ready for Max who has his very own room. He contentedly allowed Lynn to give him a much needed belly rub, gently closed his eyes and even smiled! He wasted no time in settling in, curling up, pulling his new blankie over him and taking a nap.




He met new doggie friends, two older Dobermans, very kind and gentle along with two bird friends, both macaws. He walked on his leash like a pro when Lynn took him out for bathroom duty too.

We would like to thank Lisa for finding Lynn and introducing us to her and Lynn for taking Max in after losing her potbellied pig of 16 years.

Save a life, Sponsor a Mustang

Caution, the following video is Graphic. This shows the failed BLM roundup and adoption processes. It flows from the actual round up with helicopters to Tripping rodeos (mustangs are roped by the leg and brought down) to bucking strings and then to the slaughter plant. Thank you to Cindy and the SacredIntent Channel for putting this together.



Here at Denkai Animal Sanctuary, we currently house 5 mustang horses on a permanent basis. Please read below for their photos and stories and find it in your heart to help us in keeping them safe!

To Sponsor Any of these mustangs, please visit our website at: http://www.denkaisanctuary.org/sponsor.htm

These mustangs are not listed on our website sponsor page yet, but you can sponsor them by clicking on any donation button, just specify which mustang you would like to support. For a mere $150.00 per month, you are helping us to house and care for these special one of a kind horses that would have otherwise perished in a slaughter house.



Dakota is a 7 year old Mustang Gelding. He was dropped at a local kill sale before being rescued. He has a bad stifle on his hind leg, but is not terribly lame. Dakota is handleable and would love a visit from a special sponsor





Hope (R) and Faith (L) are two 11 year old mustang mares originally from a New Mexico Herd. They were adopted out by the BLM and used for breeding until the adopter decided that she no longer wanted to care for them and was going to shoot these two mares with two 5 day old babies at their sides. Another failed adoption by the BLM.



Liberty is now 12 years old. He was rounded up at the age of 7 by the BLM from a Nevada mustang herd. Liberty was then adopted by a Fort Collins area dude ranch that planned to use him as a trail horse with no previous training. When this backfired the owner ran Liberty through a local kill sale. Liberty has been safe with our Sanctuary for the last 5 years.





Cutter is a 5 year old mustang gelding. He has had no handling other than round up, branding and castration by the BLM. We do not have his complete history and he has a ton of potential for training still. Cutter has a long way to go in trusting people.

First Snow, Winter Needs!

This is a video of our first snow last night. This is a very minor glimpse into what we are in for this winter here at the Sanctuary. We still need your help to stockpile feed for the animals and in getting functional equipment. The areas that you see drifting in this video will be 5 times that size when winter really does hit and we need your help to be prepared.

Items needed include:

60 more tons of hay. We have access to this, we need help gaining the funding in the amount of $7,000 to accomplish this. We are able to get this hay hauled into us from South Dakota for $120 per ton including delivery. To buy locally, the cost would be $180 to $200 or more per ton, that doesn't include delivery. We save a lot of money this way and your contribution stretches farther. Hay is our largest and most urgent need.

To contribute: donate online at: www.denkaisanctuary.org, click any donation button or mail donations to: Denkai Animal Sanctuary 36710 WCR 126 Grover, CO 80729

We need a skid steer with tracks, these work really well in getting over deep snow drifts, digging out of them and keeping the animals fed in the worst of conditions. If you can help out with this need, please contact us: (970) 217-1457 or info@denkaisanctuary.org.

We are working to stockpile feed for pigs, chickens and grain for horses. To contribute towards any of these items, please contact Cache la Poudre Feeds at: (970) 482-5092 or J&T Feeds in Greeley at (970) 378-0240. Any amount contributed will help. We can pick up donated items.

Thank you for caring, these animals would have been much less fortunate without your help!

2 Pit bulls Scheduled for Execution Need Help!

Urgent! Two very sweet black and white male pitbulls are awaiting their
execution in Gunnison, CO. These two, one year old pit bulls are set to be
executed for killing a rabbit. The county they are located in is not
pitbull friendly and would rather kill these two dogs than give them
another chance.

They did not attack a person, they have never threatened a child or any
other animals and they are absolute lovers.

You can help. In order to save them,they need to be transfered out of the
county that they are in. These two boys will need to be neutered.

1. Does anybody have room to take one or both of them in?

2. Can anybody help to sponsor them in order to cover transport costs,
neutering, vaccinations (we assume they are not up to date, but will know
more), and possible boarding costs if we can not find a home or rescue
facility that has openings? Cost would be around $400 per dog. Any amount
will help with them though.

These dogs only have two more days until they are executed. Please contact
Sara Hoffman for more information at: (970) 596-6594.

If Sara can not be reached, feel free to contact our Sanctuary at:
info@denkaisanctuary.org or (970) 217-1457.

For more information on the Pit Bull Breed, please visit our website at:

Thank you for Caring!

Cortez Yearlings Finally Home!

Thanks to a very generous transporter, the Yearling horses rescued from an Ignacio Kill Buyer are now safe at Denkai Animal Sanctuary in Grover, CO. These little babies have remained healthy other than a few snotty noses and are doing very well. We will be looking for homes for these horses and will begin basic ground training with them in the next week or so. To make a contribution towards the care of these babies or for any other information, please contact Denkai Animal Sanctuary at: www.denkaisanctuary.org or info@denkaisanctuary.org. Thank you for Caring!

Cortez Horse Photos

These are some photos of the Cortez Yearlings. More to come. We are planning to move them to their temporary Cortez facility tomorrow. We ordered vaccinations from Mountain Veterinary Supply in Fort Collins, they are half the price of vaccinations here, so will accomplish that tomorrow along with de-worming.

Keep in mind these babies will need recovery time along with lots of food and TLC, they are kind of beat up and look a little scraggly right now. This is all part of the rescue process.

More photos to come!

Tow Truck Picking up Stranded Transport

1:00 in the morning, Tow truck picking up Denkai Animal Sanctuary pickup near Monte Vista.

Truck Diagnosis

Rescue Transport Stranded; Monte Vista to Cortez

On October 5th a transport loaded with 2 horses and 2 donkeys headed for Cortez, CO from the Sanctuary's home in Grover, CO. At 1:00 in the morning on Monday while driving down Hwy 285, the engine quit. We coasted to the side of the road and waited more than an hour for a tow truck, cost: $505.00.

We were towed to Alamosa, CO where the trailer was dropped in an empty lot at 3:00 in the morning, just across from the Ford Dealership, where the truck was dropped off and across from our motel room. At the break of dawn, we unloaded horses, packed them with food and water and started making phone calls to find anybody that would allow us to house the horses in Alamosa until the diagnosis would come in on the truck. Thanks to one of our Board Members, Bob Grube, we made contact with Johnie Payne, who kindly hooked up to our horse trailer, helped us load the animals and towed it to his home, where corrals were ready for the horses. That was a huge load off.

The diagnosis on the truck was in: The valve had dropped and destroyed the piston. Our options were to replace the engine for a cost of $5,500.00 or leave it in Alamosa until we could come get it and tow it back to the Sanctuary. We chose to leave it and Johnie gave us a place to store it.

Our Cortez Contact sent her friends to come get the horses and us in Alamosa. They showed up Monday afternoon, we loaded horses and the trailer and headed for Cortez. Wolf Creek Pass was not an option because of Ice and our lack of trailer breaks, so we arrived in Cortez at 3:00 this morning. The Horses are safe and happy, the yearlings will be moved to safety tomorrow until we can find a way to get them back to the Sanctuary in Grover, CO.

Here is how you can help:

Option A: we can raise another $1,000 to hire a transporter to come get these yearlings and bring them to the Sanctuary.

Option B: You can help us to get a truck donated or the use of a reliable truck donated to drive these horses back to Grover, We'll pay fuel costs.

Option C: We have a person willing to transport the yearlings to Saguche in 2 weeks if we can meet somebody with a truck that has a gooseneck hitch and pass off the trailer and our Director with 2 dogs.

5 Yearling Horses In Need on Cortez Kill Lot!

Denkai Animal Sanctuary
www.denkaisanctuary.org
info@denkaisanctuary.org
(970) 217-1457

Five Yearling horses are currently sitting on a kill lot in Cortez,
Colorado awaiting their fate in a Mexican Slaughter Plant. These innocent
babies are the result of backyard breeders and have become a byproduct of a
falling economy along with irresponsible owners.

Denkai Animal Sanctuary is asking not only for your help in ransoming these
babies and saving their lives but in finding them lasting homes where they
will never face such a horrifying death again. A ransom has been placed of
$90.00 for each of these five babies, $450.00 total to get them to freedom.
The youngsters would normally bring him .40 per lb at a Mexican Slaughter
plant. For more information regarding horse slaughter please visit:
http://www.hsus.org/legislation_laws/citizen_lobbyist_center/help_end_horse_slau \
ghter.html

If we are able to raise this funding, we are also looking for individuals
and other rescue organizations to place these babies in. If none can be
found, we will be sending some of our rideable and trained horses to
another facility for better adoption viewing where homes have already been
screened in order to help these babies.

The absolute latest date for ransom is Saturday, October 4, 2008. We plan
to have a transport pick these babies up October 11, 2008 in Cortez. Any
contributions towards fuel cards/gas money would be greatly appreciated as
well. Fuel costs are estimated at $400.00.
