Anne Mealey is a veterinarian in Orlando, Florida.  In her off time from work she helps vaccinate and take care of homeless people's animals.  She says the animals are their family and sometimes all they have.  In some cases the animal is the only thing they own and the only thing that makes them happy.  This has been something she has been doing for five years.  A lot of the supplies are donated to her, but some of it she has to pay for herself.  She calls these house calls even though in most cases the animals are in the woods where they live with their owner.  She treats the animals for everything.  She enjoys doing this and will continue for a while.
