Alayne and Steve with blind Lena |
Every animal, no matter if it is a blind and/or deaf dog, cat or horse or even those with other neurological and orthopedic disablilities, who arrives at the Rolling Dog Farm, gets another chance to have a safe and loving home. Their residents come to them from humane societies, animal control shelters and rescue groups from across the US.
Thanks to the support of donors, these animals are able to have a second chance. The Rolling Dog Farm is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit charitable organization that is supported entirely by private contributions. All donations are tax-deductible to the fullest extent allowed by law.
History of Rolling Dog Farm
In December 2000, Alayne and Steve left their corporate jobs in Seattle and moved to a 160-acre ranch in the Blackfoot River Valley of western Montana creating a special place for animals with disabilities, who are often the least likely to be adopted and among the most likely to be euthanized in traditional shelters.
They named their shelter the "Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary", the name fit perfectly, the dogs just loved to roll around on their backs in the sagebrush and grass covered meadows.
In 2010, Alayne and Steve moved their operations to a beautiful 120-acre property in the White Mountains of northern New Hampshire and renamed their sanctuary to "Rolling Dog Farm".
