3h•Onsite

About The Position

Heartstrings Pet Hospice is a privately owned, rapidly growing in-home euthanasia and end-of-life care practice founded on our core values of Compassion, Dignity, and Respect . Unlike corporate or private-equity–backed organizations, our focus is on people—our families, our patients, and our medical team. We are Hiring DVM Team Members in Tucson, AZ and Surrounding Area's and we are seeking exceptional Associate Veterinarians who want to practice meaningful medicine in a supportive, values-driven environment. At Heartstrings, you will never be asked to sign a non-compete agreement . We believe great veterinarians stay because they’re valued—not because they’re restricted. As an Associate Veterinarian with Heartstrings Pet Hospice, you will provide compassionate, gentle in-home euthanasia, hospice, and palliative care. You’ll work independently in the field while being fully supported by a collaborative medical leadership team, dedicated Veterinary Care Specialists (VCS), and strong operational infrastructure. This role offers flexibility, autonomy, emotional fulfillment, and a low-stress medical environment , allowing you to focus on what matters most—supporting pets and families during life’s most meaningful moments. Heartstrings is privately owned, not corporate with direct access to leadership and medical decision-makers. There is no private equity or volume-driven pressure with a collaborative, family-centered culture where your voice matters—clinically and professionally. There is no Non-Compete Requirement. There are full-time and part-time opportunities with thoughtfully scheduled appointments. There is no clinic chaos, no double-booking with autonomy over your workday. Every visit is centered on comfort, compassion, and dignity—for pets and the people who love them.
