About Us:

As a nonprofit since 1991, Valley Oak SPCA’s mission is to provide affordable veterinary care, shelter, adoption services,and community education to eliminate the suffering of companion animals.

We are in the Central Valley of California. Conveniently located between thecoastal beaches and the beautiful Sequoia National Park.

VOSPCA Vet Clinic began with only low-cost vaccinations and spay/neuter services. Today, we have become an Affordable Veterinary Clinic with full services capabilities. We primarily see felines and canines but have seen Rabbits in the past too. Currently, we have an Ultrasound Machine, Digital Dental X-Ray System, Proper Monitoring Equipment and a full IDEXX Lab station for all blood work needs.

We are searching for a veterinarian that wants to join our team serving clients and their pets in the central valley. We have a great demand for medical exams for new and existing clients, dental procedures, surgeries including but not limited to spays and neuters, enucleations, amputations, mass removals and our very popular vaccination clinic.

Valley Oak SPCA has been a No-Kill Rescue since 2016 and we regularly pull animals from local animal control facilities with high euthanasia rates. These municipal shelters look to us for help with their major medical cases. We also take owner-surrendered animals and strays. We proudly adopt out over 1000 animals per year. Many cats and dogs are waiting for their forever homes but must be spayed/neutered before they can go to their new home.

We also partner with the Visalia Feral Cat Coalition and perform many spays and neuters for feral cats. With the overpopulation of companion pets in our area, your job security is surely guaranteed.

In the near future, our goals will be to relocate on our newly purchased 16.5 acres where our clinic and our Adoption Center will operate under one roof. Our brand new digital x-ray machine system will also be be fully operational at the new location.

We are growing rapidly and this necessitates the need for additional help. We have availability for part-time or full-time positions, weekdays or weekends. Compensation and benefits depends on availability.

Thank you for considering Valley Oak SPCA as your future employment, we hope we get the opportunity to speak with you.
