About Annie's Orphans

Annie's Orphans began in 1985 as a home for retired sled dogs. However, given Anna and Bill's compassion for animals in distress, this limited scope was doomed to failure. The shelter grew rapidly into a full-fledged, all breed rescue and was incorporated as a not-for-profit foundation in 1997. Annie's Orphans now has a maximum capacity of 70 dogs, but has temporarily restricted itself to 40, due to a number of older dogs in residence with considerable health care needs. Since 1985 the shelter has placed over 300 dogs in carefully selected homes.

The goal of Annie's Orphans is to offer abused and problem dogs a safe haven until good adoptive homes can be found. Unfortunately, some arrivals have chronic health problems or are too traumatized to adjust easily to a new family. These hard luck stories often find a home for life at Annie's. Food and veterinary care for these long-term residents amounts to a larger expense than can be supported through the sale of Black Feather Jewelry. Financial assistance is therefore needed for the rescue to continue providing a safe home in the mountains.
