We offer an exciting opportunity for the veterinarian(s) who wants to be a leader in effecting change for underserved dogs and cats. We work to reduce shelter intake and euthanasia by providing services to pet owners, shelters, rescue groups, and community cat caregivers. If you want to make a profound impact while enjoying a healthy work/life balance, we invite you to join our mission.

Each year, Spay Neuter Network (SNN) conducts more than 25,000 spay and neuter surgeries across Texas through our 4 stationary clinics in Crandall, Dallas, Fort Worth and San Antonio, our mobile clinic and our fleet of four transport vehicles. In fact, our surgeons complete more sterilizations in one day than other veterinarian offices do in three months.

Spay Neuter Network’s mission is to eliminate pet overpopulation through spay/neuter, while empowering communities to care responsibly for dogs and cats. Overpopulation places a strain on our shelters and communities. By offering free or low-cost spay/neuter, and by empowering our communities to care responsibly for their pets, we can be the pet health experts for animals and owners who need us the most. We serve the 15 counties in and around the DFW Metroplex and across North Texas as well as San Antonio, Texas. We selected clinic locations where the overpopulation problem is the most dire: South Fort Worth, Southern Dallas and rural communities.

Our staff is experienced, enthusiastic and skilled. We are committed and focused within an upbeat and compassionate environment. This is a fun and satisfying place to work. Everything is in place and ready to support you.
