Shelter Veterinarian

Nashville, Tennessee

Full-time

Ideal Candidate
You're a veterinarian who thrives in dynamic environments and finds purpose in shelter medicine. Beyond your clinical expertise, you bring a collaborative spirit and the ability to make confident decisions while valuing team input. Your strengths include clear communication, efficient workflow management, and the emotional intelligence needed to lead in a high-volume setting. Most importantly, you share our commitment to compassionate care and understand that every medical decision impacts both individual animals and our broader community goals.

As a veterinary professional, you already understand the core responsibilities of clinical practice. What makes this Shelter Veterinarian role uniquely rewarding is the opportunity to combine your medical expertise with broad community impact.

Here are the key areas where you'll make the most difference:
Lead High-Impact Medicine: Direct a comprehensive shelter health program, performing both high-volume spay/neuter surgeries and complex medical procedures. You'll handle everything from preventive care to emergency surgery, making real-time decisions that save lives.
Drive Program Innovation: Shape and implement protocols that affect thousands of animals annually. You'll develop medical guidelines, train staff, and collaborate with local universities to advance shelter medicine practices.
Champion Animal Welfare: Combine your veterinary expertise with forensic work in animal cruelty cases, providing expert testimony that brings justice to animal victims. Your medical assessments will directly influence animal protection in our community.
Guide a Medical Team: Provide leadership and mentorship to veterinary technicians and shelter staff, fostering a culture of compassionate care while maintaining high medical standards.
Build Community Solutions: Work beyond the shelter walls by participating in public health initiatives, managing community clinic programs, and developing partnerships that expand access to veterinary care across Nashville-Davidson County.
