Mo-Kan Pet Partners

Mo-Kan Pet Partners had their annual meeting on 6/6/26 and had some great updates! Our new website which is scheduled to go live around some time in August was introduced by one of our Team leaders Dwayne Schwartz and his partner, Captain.

The bylaws were amended and approved, and there were some other important updates followed by a raffle with great prizes.

Thanks to our leaders for organizing and to all those who attended. Here’s to another great year!!
