Annie's Orphans - Durango, CO Durango Colorado's only no-kill dog shelter. 🐶
Providing a safe haven for dogs until their forever homes can be found. 💜🐾

We began our work in 1985 as a home for retired sled dogs, but quickly turned into a full-fledged, all-breed rescue incorporated as a not-for profit foundation in 1997. We have a maximum capacity of approximately 70 dogs, but try to keep our numbers under 50 in winter so that we can give all our residents the care and attention they each deserve. We are a safe haven for the abandoned, neglected an

d abused dog population from throughout the greater Four Corners area. Our mission is to offer these dogs and those labeled as “difficult-to-adopt” by typical shelters, a refuge were they can live safely, comfortably, happily, and healthily until each can find his/her special person and forever home. Since opening our doors, we’ve found homes for approximately 2,000 dogs. Durango is a very dog friendly community. Someone once said “it’s not IF you have a dog in Durango, it’s how many dogs you have”. In caring for, readying for adoption and adopting out dogs, we believe we are doing a great service to the Durango community - human and canine alike. We also help reduce pet overpopulation by spaying, neutering and providing medical care for all dogs prior to placement in their new homes.

****Home Has Been Found***

Courtesy Post

This stunning boy Max is a purebred Spaniel (likely Brittany), 9 months old and has had all of his shots.

His current owner is 88 (with serious medical back issues) and has realized he can not handle a 9 month old puppy.

This sweet boy needs a fun loving home!

You may send inquiries to Annie’s Orphans and we will connect you to the current owner.

Please share!

This rain and cooler weather reminds us that the cold days of winter aren’t far behind. As most of you know we are an outdoor shelter and we utilize hay and heat lamps to keep our pups warm.

This is expensive and we need to get prepared now starting with the purchase of the hay, repairs, electric bills, etc.

Please help us with what you can. We are eternally greatful for any and all assistance. Monthly donations are especially welcome.

Courtesy Post for one of our long time and fantastic volunteers (these dogs are NOT at Annie’s Orphans).

These two sisters are available for adoption. Roxy (black) and Vanilla (white/grey) were rescued from the streets of Mexico by our kind hearted volunteer Kim.

They are 2 years old, very sweet, spayed, and up to date on their vaccines and weigh about 25 lbs. They currently live in a home, get along great with other dogs, cats, and children. They are very bonded and need to be adopted together.
