14. Thalia L.
“Thalia Leon Rodriguez is very caring and responsible with animals and brings a lifetime of experience caring for and nursing pets. She is respectful, reliable, and excels particularly with special needs animals. She meets them where they are at, with close attention. As her aunt, I have personally seen her care for a diabetic foster cat and an elderly dog with a heart condition. The cat required daily shots and specific dietary requirements; the cat was prone to stress and had several health crises. Thalia became very in tune with his health indicators and responded swiftly when he became ill. Since childhood she has rescued dozens of animals, primarily homeless cats, back to health. She is keenly interested in biology and veterinary medicine so her respect for and interest in animals extends beyond domestic pets. I have had several dogs with health complications and would trust her with any of them in a heart beat. Your furry loved ones are in excellent hands with Thalia.”
