Dr. Daley spends four weeks a year working as a contract field vet for the Humane Society Veterinary Medical Association-Rural Animal Veterinary Service (HSVMA-RAVS), an organization that provides free veterinary services for the pets of people located in Native American reservations where veterinary care often does not exist. She returns home from these clinics excited having helped so many animals and having worked with talented veterinary professionals from all over the country, as well as grateful for a bed and a hot shower. Dr. Daley and her fianc퀌� have been living it up since moving to the beautiful state of Colorado and spend their days off hiking, biking, rock climbing and snowboarding. When home, they spend time with their cats Pip and Boogie Man, and their Mastiff, Boomer who is not aware of his greying muzzle and continues to act like a puppy.
