Founded in 1952, the Humane Society of Sarasota County (HSSC) is Sarasota?s oldest animal welfare organization. In 2009, HSSC became a no-kill shelter and with the completion of our shelter expansion and renovation project in 2021, HSSC is now the area?s premier no-kill organization. At the heart of our mission is the core belief that every animal is cared for and loved.
We are seeking a compassionate and passionate veterinarian dedicated to helping animals in the community that would benefit from our care. In all that we do, HSSC holds true to our mission to save every dog or cat in our care that can be saved. Our core values reflect a commitment to transparency and accountability to our community. In all our interactions with our community, we want to present ourselves as welcoming to the community and helpful. We are committed to kindness and compassion to our team and aim to create a workplace culture that embraces diversity and in which everyone feels respected and valued.
