WE HAVE THE MOST AMAZING COMMUNITY!
Thank you all so much for your blanket donations. All the dogs were nice and toasty despite the cold weather this weekend. 🥰 And not only that, but we received so many donations, that our blanket storage is now FULL for storms to come! We are so thankful to all who stepped in, so graciously, and helped make that happen. We also want to give our thanks to Durango Pet Resort for offering their space to collect many of these donations for us. We ❤️ our Durango community!

Please keep a watchful eye and keep your furry companions safe. Please share to spread the word! 💔😢

Reminder.... We are going into the coyote mating season. January and February they are extemely agressive and active. Coyotes will be on the prowl looking for food. They have been known to scale a 12ft fence with ease. A coyote can literally wait in the shadows for when you take your little dog out for potty break and turn your head and that is how long it can take for you to lose your precious fur baby. They have adapted to being the best skilled hunters and they go into peoples backyards all the time and on front porches. All of these pictures that we are posting, are coyotes with beloved cats and dogs in their mouths. Most rural areas where coyotes roam, don't have natural enemies in the area. Protect your dogs and cats when outside especially.

I’m truly grateful to everyone who offered to help us transport dog food from NM to Annie’s.

***Annie’s Orphans is sending out a gigantic shout out and thank you to Greater Good Charities for all the work they do 🙏🏼 and to Angela at Rez Dog Rescue 🐕 for helping us feed our dogs and Jenni and Brandon Manos for fixing the lights on our trailer and driving 🚗 to New Mexico to transport the food back to Annie’s Orphans. It really takes a village and we have the best village on earth. 👍 These people and organizations truly help keep us going. We don’t know where we would be without them. 🥰 Look at all this food. Our hearts are full and our doggie food pantries are as well. 🎉

***Shout out to Pet Haus for the donation of 40 bags of quality food.

***We would also like to thank everyone who delivered or got food delivered to us during our rough time.

Thank you so very much. You are true heroes. ♥️♥️♥️

UPDATE!!!!!I found someone to go pick up the food!!!YAY!!! She’s also a brand new volunteer at Annies. Welcome to our little family, Jennie!!! We’ve had some new additions to our family this year. Welcome Kelli and Inga!! Great ideas and great energy!! I gotta mention Kim. She’s been here a little over a year and has helped so much with the adoptions and volunteer coordinator. And Katie, helping with training and sometimes grooming. I’m a hap, hap, happy dog!!!
Anna

Thank you, thank you thank you everyone for your ideas and offers. I found somebody that can come and get my trailer and go get it.

A note from Anna!

“We’ve (Annies Orphans) scored some dog food this coming weekend. 💥 Possibly 4 pallets down in Moriarty, near Albuquerque. We are looking for someone who might be able to go pick it up for us. My friends, who usually go, are unable to go this weekend. This would get us through the winter, and leave us with more funds to pay bills. 💵

I know we seem to be asking for something all the time, but things are hard right now. 😢 Nothing matters more to me than taking care of these beloved dogs and cats. Not forgetting the donkeys and goats. 🥰 But we were able to secure enough hay, thanks to this wonderful, animal loving community.

We have a 16 ft flatbed but my truck is old and I don’t trust it to go that far. I barely trust it to go to town. 😃

If anyone knows of someone and can share this, I would be so grateful. We can help with gas.
Thank you so much!!!
Anna and the dogs and cats
PLEASE SHARE!!!”🐕

❗️We need our community more than ever!❗️
Things have been so hard lately, adoptions are down, donations are down, prices are up, and intakes are up, and we are totally full! It takes a lot to run a non-profit shelter; we go through about 85 pounds of food every day to feed all of the dogs and our vet bills have become overwhelming even with the discount they give us. With winter coming and the dogs being housed outside, we keep them warm by using heat lamps in their dog houses, but that takes a lot of electricity which gets very expensive! Cost is an average of $1500.00 a month for electricity through the winter.
Annie’s is the only true no-kill shelter in Durango and we take dogs that other shelters turn down or dogs that are scheduled to be euthanized at other shelters. We are totally full right now and have to turn away dogs daily which is truly heartbreaking! The shelter needs your help so we can continue to help the helpless dogs of our community! If everyone could donate what they can, it would hopefully help get us through the winter and allow the dogs to be fed, vetted, and kept warm! Annie’s Orphans has been operating for almost 40 years and Annie has dedicated her life to helping Animals. But now she is asking for help from the community. We are in desperate need of donations. Please look into your heart and help if you are able to! Thank you so much for your consideration! PLEASE SHARE THIS POST!
