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.

Michelangelo and Donatello

These two big brothers are a couple of sweet goof balls. Choose one or both and you are sure to be in for an amusing fun time.

They are about 9 months old and still working on leash training and general manners. They can sit, love to play and want to be near humans. They are good with other dogs and all around fun!

Text Annie’s to meet these big lugs.

Rowdy

Rowdy is one of our newer dogs. She was relinquished due to her owner having to go into assisted living. She had lived in a home and was loved, unfortunately she had no where else to go and was welcomed at Annie’s taking the last available kennel.

From what we know she does not get along with all dogs but does great with humans. She is very loving and sweet.

Please consider this girl, text for more information or to meet this sweet girl.

TEDDY

Teddy is overdue for his new home. He is one of the last of 9 puppies taken in over a year ago and we are surprised he hasn’t found his family yet.

He is good with other dogs, smart, excited when you meet him but eventually settles down. He would be loyal to his adopter and probably a good cuddler.

He is 16 months old and about 65-70lbs. We aren’t sure about cats but we can test him. Please give this handsome loving boy a visit and better yet a loving home!

Please….Nala and Simba need your help covering surgery costs!

These two are active siblings originally rescued from an over crowded shelter in California. They are incredibly sweet dogs and it’s beyond us how they haven’t been adopted other than the fact they are bonded and need to go together.

They love to play, swim, and get chest rubs and unfortunately they are very much into kennel/dog house parkour. This has resulted into first Nala and now Simba having ACL injuries requiring surgery.

The quoted cost is $4000 each!

Please help us help these two heal with your donations and please share.
