Company Description
Stand For Animals Veterinary Clinic is a non-profit organization operating three clinics in Charlotte, Pineville, and Lake Norman, dedicated to ensuring all pet owners have access to affordable spay neuter services and essential veterinary care. With a strong mission to reduce unwanted litters and provide high-quality care, the clinics have served over 90,000 patients and performed more than 82,000 surgeries, reducing the number of euthanized pets in the community. Each clinic is staffed by licensed veterinarians, technicians, and assistants who are committed to promoting the health and happiness of pets throughout their lives. Stand For Animals Veterinary Clinic is focused on making sustainable impacts within the local community through accessible and compassionate veterinary services.
Be part of a veterinary team that’s reshaping what accessible, high-quality care looks like for pets and the people who love them. As a Staff Veterinarian in our mission-driven nonprofit clinic, you’ll play a vital role in ensuring that families with limited financial resources never have to choose between their budget and their pet’s health. Your work will have an immediate, meaningful impact—strengthening the human–animal bond and improving wellbeing across our community.
In this rewarding position, you’ll practice progressive, compassionate medicine alongside a dedicated team of clinicians, technicians, and support staff who share your commitment to helping pets thrive. Whether performing surgery, delivering wellness care, or managing urgent needs, you’ll have the support, tools, and collaborative environment you need to excel.
You’ll also benefit from a culture that values curiosity, teamwork, and continuous learning. Mentorship is woven into the fabric of our practice, giving you opportunities to both learn from experienced colleagues and support newer veterinarians as they grow in skill and confidence. Here, everyone is encouraged to bring forward new ideas, ask questions, and develop their unique clinical strengths.
If you’re passionate about meaningful work, energized by a supportive team, and ready to make a real difference for pets and their families, we’d love to welcome you to our mission-focused community.
