Brief Company Description:

Founded in 1978 as a low-cost spay and neuter clinic, The Animal Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that has grown into the highest-volume single-site animal shelter in the United States.

As an open-admission shelter, The Animal Foundation serves every animal in need, regardless of age, condition, or species. Much like a public hospital, we provide care for animals who are healthy, injured, sick, or vulnerable — from dogs, cats, and rabbits to pigs, chickens, and exotic pets. Through compassionate care and strong community support, we work every day to improve the lives of the animals who come through our doors.

Our mission is to reimagine animal welfare by providing lasting impact in the lives of animals, supporting the people who love them, and strengthening our community through compassion.

Position Summary:

Under administrative direction, responsible for providing high-quality veterinary care of shelter and/or client-owned animals, shelter medicine, spay/neuter surgeries, and disease control protocols. Some positions may require an emphasis on high-volume spay and neuter surgery, and others may require emphasis on duties related to shelter medicine and herd health.
