Ruleena developed her love of animals as a young child growing up in India.  As a teenager, she spent much of her time volunteering with various non-profit animal welfare organizations and fostering dogs, cats, and birds in desperate need. Many of these animals suffered from debilitating physical injuries and serious behavioral problems resulting from trauma.  After moving to the United States, she obtained her Bachelor's degree in Animal Science with a minor in Equine Science from Rutgers University.  Ruleena has traveled to Belize and South Africa where she gained knowledge and experience in large animal and wildlife veterinary medicine.  She had the unique opportunity to work with exotic species such as lion cubs, cheetahs, wild ruminants, and exotic birds.
