Frankie and Barbara with donation

Back in early April we posted on the blog that Barbara Techel, author of Frankie the Walk n' Roll Dog — a book about her disabled Dachshund — was going to donate a portion of her book sales for April to the ranch.  Well, on Thursday evening, April 30, Barbara emailed to say she and Frankie were at $480 but "Frankie decided she wanted to give up some extra treats and toys and make it an even $500 we will be giving the ranch."  Barbara also sent us the photo you see above. 

On Friday morning, May 1st, Barbara went to our online donations Web page and made the awesome $500 gift for the animals here.  What a great way to start off the month of May!

Barbara wrote, "We hope we can do this again in the near future with Frankie's second book which will be out early next year.  Thank you for all you do for all these special animals.  I know the rewards of caring for a disabled animal and nothing compares to it, so I'm so thrilled Frankie and I could give you this donation."

On behalf of all the animals at the ranch, thank YOU, Barbara, and Frankie for this wonderful gift!

Don't forget, you can vote every day for us in The Animal Rescue Site/PetFinder's Shelter Challenge
Enter
"Rolling Dog Ranch" and our state postal code, MT for Montana,
and it will bring up our listing so you can cast your vote.  We won
$1,000 in this online contest last year because of your help and would
like to win it again this year. 

We're currently No. 7 nationwide, so your votes are adding up!  Thank you!

    I apologize, Barbara and Frankie, if my remark seemed to belittle your donation amount. That was not my intention. Your generosity is second to none.
