What are the responsibilities and job description for the Veterinarian position at Save-A-Pet USA?
Job Overview
Save-A-Pet USA is seeking a compassionate, experienced veterinarian to join our team and help shape the next chapter of our veterinary program.
Save-A-Pet USA is a nonprofit animal rescue and shelter dedicated to giving vulnerable animals a second chance. Since 1994, we have rescued and rehomed more than 40,000 companion animals, with a particular commitment to senior, special-needs and hard-to-place animals.
About the Position
This is an exciting opportunity for a veterinarian who wants to combine shelter medicine, preventive care and community veterinary services in a mission-driven environment.
We are reimagining our veterinary clinic with an emphasis on wellness and preventive medicine rather than a traditional high-volume sick-patient practice. The veterinarian will have an important voice in helping us develop and grow the clinic while providing exceptional care to our shelter animals and the families who have adopted from Save-A-Pet.
Our planned clinic model includes:
- Shelter medicine and surgical care for Save-A-Pet animals
- Wellness examinations
- Vaccinations
- Preventive testing and bloodwork
- Microchipping
- Senior wellness and geriatric care
- TNR/community cat medicine
- Wellness services for Save-A-Pet alumni
- Canine and feline preventive-care clinics
- Medical oversight and care for animals with special needs
We are intentionally creating a practice where the veterinarian can focus on quality medicine, meaningful relationships and prevention, rather than emergency medicine or a constant schedule of complicated sick visits.
Why Save-A-Pet?
This is more than a veterinary position—it is an opportunity to make a direct and lasting difference in the lives of animals and the people who love them.
You will work closely with a dedicated rescue team and have the opportunity to help shape the direction of our veterinary program. Our veterinarian will be an important part of developing a clinic that serves both the animals in our care and the community of families who have welcomed Save-A-Pet animals into their homes.
Schedule
We are seeking a veterinarian for 32–40 hours per week.
Our clinic operates Monday through Friday, with a flexible schedule to be determined with the successful candidate.
Our current model is structured around dedicated days for:
