Sam and Ronnie own six dogs: Three shelties, two rescued border collies and one rescued aussie/sheltie mix. All the dogs are active in dog agility.

Ronnie has always wanted some type of retail store. "I used to turn my parents' bedroom into a store. I would go around and price everything. I used Monopoly money and set up the cash register by the door," Ronnie recalls. The creation and realization of Beans Books & Barks is a dream come true. It combines three of her life joys.

Ronnie is also passionate about animals. 100% of the tips are donated to animal rescue and welfare groups throughout Arizona. An organization is selected each quarter and all the tips received during that quarter are donated to the selected animal organization. To be considered for this donation, animal groups may contact Beans, Books & Barks at info@beansbooksbarks.com for more information.
