"Shelter vets" is a phrase that refers to veterinarians who work at animal shelters. These vets provide medical care to animals in need that have been abandoned or rescued and are living in a shelter.

And when I see these new shelter vets who are amazing and so well prepared, and give the profession a good name? (sheltermedicine.vetmed.ufl.edu)
