What Makes Us Stand Out

From small animals to large, exotics to equine, this role provides endless learning opportunities in a supportive and mentorship‑driven environment. Our commitment to client relationships, flexible care, and a team‑based culture makes us a standout practice for veterinarians who want variety, mentorship, and a close‑knit community. We are open to mentoring a new graduate and encourage those who are eager to develop their skills in surgery, emergency medicine, and mixed animal medicine to apply.

The Area

Dawson, MN, is a small, welcoming community that offers outdoor recreation such as hunting, fishing, hiking, and ATV trails. It’s a peaceful rural setting with a strong sense of community, yet larger cities like Minneapolis and Sioux Falls are within driving distance for weekend getaways. With local amenities, small‑town charm, and access to outdoor adventures, Appleton is an ideal place for those who enjoy a slower pace of life with plenty of opportunities to explore.
