Giving forgotten dogs a second chance.

A true “NO KILL” dog shelter located in Durango, CO.

WE ARE FULL!

We are sad to say it, but we are at max capacity at Annie’s Orphans and can no longer accept any more dogs. Funds and adoptions are at an all time low so we must focus on the dogs we currently have.

If you are looking to rehome your dog, please consider finding them a home rather than taking them to a shelter. If you would like to post your dog on the Courtesy Postings portion of our website, please submit a thorough bio and images to Katie.DurangoDog@gmail.com.

“You can tell that Annie loves all of the doggies here! Her compassion is admirable. We adopted a sweep puppy from her and are so excited! Here is a picture of our Maple. She is by far the best family dog we have ever owned. Thank you Annie for helping us find our sweet puppy!”

Support The Cause

Annie’s Orphans operates solely on donations and volunteers. Without the support of our community and partners, we would not be able to serve our mission. There are many ways you can help. We accept financial and item contributions and are always in need of volunteers and fosters. You can learn more about our specific needs on our How You Can Help page.

We are grateful for any and all contributions made!
