Maryland’s Love of Dog Bakery has made Montana’s Rolling Dog Ranch its charity of the month and is donating 5 percent of its December proceeds to the animal sanctuary.

The animal sanctuary was featured on this blog last month. If you missed those posts, clicking HERE will take you there.

Among those who did see them were Julie and Rob Newman, proprietors of Love of Dog Bakery, located in Laurel, Md.

“We at Love of Dog Bakery have so much to be grateful for, and we felt that supporting such an amazing organization which gives so selflessly to these wonderful animals was the perfect way to express that,” they said in their newsletter this month. Love of Dog Bakery picks a new animal charity to donate a share of proceeds to every month.

Rolling Dog Ranch rescues physically disabled animals -- dogs and horses, mostly -- and cares for them on their ranch in Ovando. Among its residents for life are blind dogs, cats, and horses, deaf dogs, dogs with muscular dystrophy, dogs with autoimmune deficiencies, and dogs with neurological disorders such as cerebellar hypoplasia.

As the most loyal of you readers may recall, my dog Ace is also raising money for Rolling Dog Ranch. With every rental of the movie about him, "Hey, Mister, What Kind of Dog is That?" a few bucks is being forwarded to the ranch by Crystal Video, in Missoula.

By now, I suspect rentals of the movie have raised enough to buy a large bag of dog food for the ranch (unless they use the really expensive kind).
