History
Annie's Orphans, located in beautiful Durango Colorado, is the oldest No-Kill Shelter in the Four Corners Area. We began in 1985 as a home for retired sled dogs, but quickly re-strategized to become an all-breed rescue. We were incorporated as a Not-for-Profit foundation in 1997, & have since become a safe-haven for the abandoned, neglected & abused pet population throughout the greater Four Corners area.
Annie's Orphans now has a maximum capacity of 70 dogs, & thanks to the support of our community, we are able to maintain our No-Kill status. However, due to the increasing number of rescued animals - & an increasing population of older, traumatized, & ill animals in residence - we could definitely use some help.
