Debbie Faulkner always
wanted to be a veterinarian, ever since she was a little girl. But life, kids
and a husband took center stage and her dream? Well she’s had a wonderful life
and a move to Crawford Colorado was the icing on the cake. A 40-acre
ranch with famed Singer, Joe Cocker as your neighbor? And horses and assorted
farm animals?... life was good. But her love for animals was still there…you
know the abandoned ones, the ones left on the side of the highway or owners who
somehow grew tired of a pet they’ve had for years. You see, Delta County
Colorado has no Animal Rescues, none run by the city anyway…and Debbie? She saw
an opportunity to make a difference. 6 years later and with more than two
thousand animals rescued and given brand new, loving homes…she has found her
calling in the form of The Black Canyon Animal Sanctuary. Like
free range chickens, the dogs are free to roam and play in large open grassy
pens…as long as they prove they can get along…its called communal grouping. And
judging by her success and the tail wagging I saw at this beautiful valley
ranch…these are some very fortunate rescues!
Debbie is passionate about
getting the dogs great new homes and posts all the animals on her Facebook page
– as she says “ the good, the bad and the ugly” of some of the heartbreaking
stories of the critters she sees everyday.
