Current Pets

These sweet souls have so much love to give! Playful puppies. Curious kittens. Loyal mutts. Lazy cats. While we’ve enjoyed every minute of providing tender, loving care for these sweet rescue animals, we know eventually they need to find their forever homes. If you’re excited to adopt one of these rescue animals, then let’s get the conversation started.

Take a look at the following snapshots and then peruse our Forms & Adoption page to schedule the initial interview with us. We’re here to answer any questions and make sure you have all you need to share your love and home with our furry friends!

Opal

Opal is wonderful, loving and happy girl! She loves her people, loves playing with other dogs, and is one of the most easy going and fun dogs we've had. She has special needs and was born with a deformed vertebrae in her spine that is causing the rest of her spine to curve to compensate and will eventually lead to nerve damage in her hind end. She is currently receiving acupuncture and vet care and gets around perfectly. Her special needs are easy peasy and she is so worth it!

Communicative

I adopted my best friend for life from Durango Animal Connection in July of 2020 and it was the best decision I have ever made. Erin was very communicative throughout the whole process and continued to check in with me afterwards to see how things were going which was something that I really appreciated. I have so much love and admiration for Durango Animal Connection.
