Jobbeschreibung

Prevent A Litter (PAL) Veterinary Hospital is a non-profit, fully licensed facility and the very first low-cost spay/neuter vet hospital in Virginia. Since opening in April 1999, PAL has performed well over 100,000 surgeries, preventing millions of births of unwanted animals. Our mission is to eliminate the killing of healthy, otherwise adoptable companion animals simply because they are surplus and cannot be placed in loving homes. We accomplish this goal by providing high-quality, affordable, and accessible spay/neuter services to the public without regard to income or geography. We are a small, tight-knit, and dedicated staff.

After a wonderful, dedicated tenure since our opening, our beloved surgeon is retiring at the end of the year, opening a rare opportunity for a skilled, compassionate DVM Veterinary Surgeon to join our highly experienced medical team. Because our administrative and support staff handle 100% of scheduling, client communication, and check-ins, you will be completely free from the traditional burnout of client-facing veterinary medicine. This role allows you to step into a highly efficient, rewarding environment where you can focus entirely on high-quality, high-volume surgical care alongside a fully trained medical team.

• Team Collaboration: Ability to work harmoniously with a small, fast-paced, and dedicated medical support team.
• Mission-Driven: A genuine passion for animal welfare, shelter medicine, and ending companion animal overpopulation.
