EVERYTHING THAT WE DO AT ANNIE’S IS IN HOPES OF FINDING PERMANENT, LOVING HOMES FOR OUR “ORPHANS” AND GIVING THEM THE SAFETY AND LOVE THAT THESE GREAT DOGS DESERVE. OUR ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO GET DOGS OUT OF THE SHELTER AND INTO THEIR “FOREVER” 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.

TO ADVOCATE FOR CLEAN AIR, PURE WATER, AND HEALTHY LANDS – THE FOUNDATIONS OF RESILIENT COMMUNITIES, ECOSYSTEMS AND ECONOMIES IN THE SAN JUAN BASIN.

In 1986 a group of concerned citizens joined forces, launching the Alliance to protect their families and neighbors from the impacts of unchecked oil and gas development. Over the years, the organization grew to address a broad array of issues concerning the quality and protection of regional air, land, and water resources. The Alliance helps protect clean air, pure water, and healthy lands in the San Juan Basin through our regional energy, public lands, and rivers programs. We work to ensure the viability of this landscape and all of its inhabitants. If we don’t protect our public lands, no one else will.

Four Corners Slow Money is a volunteer-run effort for and by the community. We are based in Durango, CO and currently serve the five counties of Southwest Colorado, and Northwestern New Mexico. We have zero staff, keeping our overhead extremely low, so that the vast majority of the funds we raise can go directly into our revolving loan fund. All members of Four Corners Slow Money have a voice in our loan-making process, which strives for consensus. Our volunteer Steering Committee handles the administration of our organization.
