Description
Are you a dedicated shelter veterinarian passionate about delivering high-quality medical care to animals in need?

Do you thrive in a dynamic and complex environment, where teammates work together to continually advance our field?

Success will also hinge on the ability to collaborate well with the Operations and Behavior branches at the CRC, embracing the power of teamwork. Ideal candidates will have shelter medicine expertise, experience working with legal cases and disaster response, and superior interpersonal skills, including experience leading teams of veterinary professionals, and working alongside equals in other areas of expertise.
