Annie's Orphans - Durango, CO

16/11/2025

It’s time to say THANK YOU to so many that have donated funds for food, bags of food, toys, their time.

Everyday at a rescue brings new challenges and each day is full from dawn to dusk. So we don’t have time to thank everyone individually but we assure you we are so happy and thankful when;

- we open a box from Chewy and it’s full of new tough toys, pupperonies and other treats!

-we get a bag of high quality food we asked for delivered each month

- we get support and donations from a top Colorado government official and his family

-we get a paper Walmart bag full of treats and $ donations

-we get a volunteer that says “heck yes I can clean that for you”

- we get so many fosters and adopters to step up that we don’t have a single tiny/small dog spending the winter in an outdoor kennel (although heated dog house)!

-we have new young volunteers from Ft Lewis that walk dogs a least once a week and give the dogs lots of love.

- we have other volunteers that come usually 2x a week to walk and love dogs. You have a question about one of the dogs….a volunteer would love to share, they love all the dogs (Lauren, Jen, Katie, Inge, Kim, Aaron, Jo, Jake, Mariah, Scott, Peggy, Ashley, etc)

-we have dedicated hard workers Mike, Kurt and Liam that we could not do this without, you guys are the best! Note: we are hiring for help 4 days a week, please let us know if you have any leads.

-we have a volunteer that rolls up her sleeves and gets donations, dumpsters, projects and office work done. She posts on TikTok (check out all the videos), cleans, and drives her brother to work at Annie’s 4 days a week in a car that needs repairs.

Harmony, thank you for all you do!

If anyone knows of a mechanic that’s willing to do some brake work at reduced cost and payment plan please let us know. Annie’s really needs Harmony and her brother to help with feeding, watering and cleaning the 4 + days they come. A car breakdown would not be good.

Fawn

This slim curious and fun beauty would love a good home. She is timid initially and needs a patient human to give her a chance.

Once she knows you she is very loving and playful and would be a great partner.

Teddy

This handsome guy has a personality to match his name…a big teddy bear! He enjoys other dogs and more than anything loves to lean in and get hugs and chest rubs from a willing human.

Penelope

Penelope will be shy around you the first time you meet, but given a little bit of time in the play yard and some cookies you will see this girl lighten up. She loves kisses and hugs and walks.

Zuko

The name means “glory”….and also a character from Avatar 🙂. This boy is so sweet and loves to play. He is slightly smaller than medium size so not too big.

Rowdy is such a sweet, smart, fun loving girl. She would need to be the only dog in the household but she is all you need!

We’re heartbroken to share that Murphy’s test results came back, and the news isn’t good. He’s been diagnosed with metastatic cancer that has spread throughout his body.

We’re currently exploring every possible treatment option to give him more time and comfort. As long as Murphy is eating, drinking, and enjoying moments of good quality life, we’re not giving up on him.

Please consider donating to help cover costs of treatment for Murphy.

Please help us find an emergency foster for Murphy until we can medically stabilize him and his weight. Thank you. Medical costs and food are covered. Must be local. Murphy will be needing to attend some vet appointments which we can and will coordinate during his foster care. Once he is medically stable he can be returned to the rescue or even adopted by his foster if they decide they want to move forward with an adoption. Thank you.
