About
Custom Tab
Annie's Orphans, located in Durango, Colorado, provides a safe haven for the abandoned, neglected, and abused pet population and has offered this service for over thirty years. These dogs have a home with us until the best adoptive homes can be found. Since our inception, we have placed thousands of dogs in carefully selected homes and have provided life-long shelter and care to countless others.
By taking on the gamut, we are accepting the possibility that a quick re-homing, for some, may not be likely. If an animal is either too sick, too traumatized or otherwise "unadoptable," s/he has a forever home at Annie's. The “Sanctuary” component of our facility shelters and cares for these dogs indefinitely, while those Sanctuary dogs with a chance at “becoming adoptable” are given as much training focus as possible.
The dogs residing at Annie’s Orphans that are readily adoptable and those that will fit well into a specified type of adoptive-home are listed on our “Adopt” pages. Annie’s Orphans is their secure harbor while life-long matches are being sought.

Mission
We open our doors to homeless and abused dogs. Many who are turned down by other organizations. We offer a warm place to sleep, good food, clean water, training and a lot of love, until we can find them a forever home. Our doors are always open in the case that they don’t work out in their new home.
Annie's Orphans No-Kill Animal Shelter provides a safe haven for abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs, as well as those surrendered for a variety of reasons. A caring environment is provided, while the best possible adoptive homes are actively sought. Meanwhile, our Sanctuary offers ongoing shelter, important interaction and life-long care to those animals for whom adoption is not feasible.
Background Statement
We started Annie’s Orphans in 1985 as a place for retired sled dogs. We also accepted wolf dogs, coyote dogs, and feral dogs. Then we expanded to any canine that needed a place to go. We network with many kill shelters in the southwest and Midwest.
