PARTNERS! Mission
Once a canine training and behavior counseling business, PARTNERS!Canines became a non-profit, 501c3 registered organization in 2008 in order to continue to grow our shelter canine transport and rescue efforts throughout Virginia and the surrounding states. All proceeds raised through our training and teaching sessions, donation collections and product sales go toward transferring great (friendly, healthy, non-aggressive) but unadopted dogs and puppies from shelters in rural Virginia and North Carolina to other states and national "no kill" facilities and rescue organizations where they are held until they are adopted. Most of these dogs and puppies are adopted in days.

| In memory of Mona |
|
|
Mona was not just a pet but also my organization's mascot, she was my demo dog, obedience dog, farm dog, hiking companion, transport co-pilot . . .she went w/me to most of my speaking engagements and workshops. She was a very special little dog who fulfilled so many of the roles required by my organization. We miss her terribly, but as Tom says, the true tragedy would have occurred if I had not pulled her from the Aiken SPCA in SC 7 years ago, the day she was scheduled to be euthanized. She woke up each morning excited and ready to tackle the world, and she taught us that every day is a gift to be cherished and lived to the fullest. She was loved and will be missed by many.
