Denkai has secured the old Haliburton building site located at 3110 Bloomfield Highway and 909 South Hutton Street in Farmington, NM.
We plan to build into this location in phases as we work on the planning and fundraising needed for the animal shelter.
Our initial phase will involve setting up and operation of the bargain/thrift store and vehicle donation program as sustainable, income producing activities supporting the non profit activities.
Planning and fundraising for the shelter piece is currently in process as these two stages are developing.
Please remember that Denkai has encompassed the store and vehicle donation program for most of our organizational life and we are so very excited to have a location to operate out of for every service we offer.
Area of Need
New Mexico is a state heavily impacted by stray, unwanted, abandoned and severely abused domestic animals.
There are between 100,000 and 200,000 stray dogs on the surrounding Navajo reservation alone.
Numbers located within area municipalities are in addition to the reservations. Currently the Farmington Regional Animal Shelter aids between 7,000-9,000 animals within its jurisdiction alone. This does not including animals in need on surrounding reservations or within the County.
Area shelters and rescues provide services to over 13,000 animals in Northeastern New Mexico alone. A number that can not begin to touch the needs of a vast area.
Denkai plans to help and here is how we plan to do it and sustain operations:

- Sheltering of Animals on-site
