The Mountain Ear, Thursday, August 12, 2010 - Page A7 Owners and animals at Rolling Dog Animal Sanctuary settling in 60 blind and disabled By Edith Tucker animals move from Staff Writer Coös County Democrat Montana to Lancaster

LANCASTER — It took 17 trips for Alayne Marker and Steve Smith to move nearly 60 blind and disabled animals to their new 120-acre Rolling Dog Ranch Animal Sanctuary in Lancaster from the remote Blackfoot River Valley in the Rockies of western Montana where they had operated for 10 years. The second and last moving van pulled off the North Road on Saturday, July 24, and passed through the Sanctuary’s gate. This delivery was followed two days later by the arrival of the last flatbed trailer load. In total, professional drivers delivered two moving van loads, seven flatbed trailer loads, two semi-truck flatbed trailer loads, the dog-and-cat caravan, two large animal trailer loads, plus the trips that they made themselves, each hauling a trailer with animals on board in addition to Steve’s mid-April trip in a truck hauling a horse trailer.
