About

An introduction to the new owner of Country Air Vacation Kennels: Ann-Marie Transue grew up in Pennsylvania and Charlottesville, Va. but has called the Roanoke area home after graduating from Virginia Tech with a bachelor's degree in Wildlife Management. After doing her time in corporate America, Ann-Marie made the decision to return to her love of animals as a career and went back to school to become a professional dog trainer. She has been a supervisor in a local dog daycare, taught many hours of training classes for pets and their caretakers, and has provided boarding for her clients for the past several years. She took additional training and went through an apprenticeship to become a certified dog groomer as well.

Ann-Marie is active in the local dog rescue world as a foster and has especially enjoyed teaching a Train to Adopt class for shelter dogs to help them learn the skills they need to be adopted into a loving family. Her life has fully "gone to the dogs" since leaving her office job and she loves it!
