If you are passionate about our mission, looking for purpose within an organization, and want to find meaning in your work, we would love for you to bring your talents to our team and make a difference for the animals.

Are you a skilled veterinary surgeon with a passion for precision and care? We're looking for an exceptional veterinary surgeon to bring their expertise to our shelter. Work in a cutting-edge facility, performing life-saving surgeries and advanced procedures that make a real impact on the lives of our animals. Join a supportive team of professionals dedicated to the highest standards of veterinary care. If you have a keen eye for detail and a heart for animals, we want you on our team

  • Experience with community cats and TNR (preferred)
  • Experience doing dentals (preferred)
The Staff Veterinarian is on call after hours every other week. Being on call will primarily be via phone to advise staff, with the rare need to come in after hours as we utilize an emergency referral center for severe injuries.
