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.
