We have the clientele that can benefit from Dr. Rodriguez’s expertise as their pets get older or need alternative options. We are expecting folks from Duval and St. Johns to attend the event. It will be a family-pet-fun atmosphere to connect, engage, and experience. Our mission is to bring the arts to our community. This is exactly what we are doing. Success is imminent!”
