Staff Veterinarian
About The Position
As one of ten shelter staff veterinarians at HSPPR, you will rotate through different tracks daily. You may spend your day performing HQHV spay/neuter surgeries for shelter, TNR, and community animals, or maybe you are designing life-saving treatment plans, performing advanced procedures (like amputations and foreign body removals), or perhaps you are providing some much-needed dental care for our shelter animals prior to adoption. Every day is different, offering a new, rewarding challenge. You will collaborate and work with a team of ten highly skilled veterinarians in areas of shelter medicine, HQHV spay/neuter, TNR, emergency procedures and dentals, or provide wellness services to the owned animals in our community. You will work in a renovated, fully equipped Colorado Springs shelter clinic. You will use your skills to help fulfill the need in the Pueblo community at our Pueblo shelter, the Pueblo Wellness Clinic, or our mobile unit, the Wellness Waggin'. You will enjoy a busy, but supportive working environment with skilled medical staff aiding you in surgery, patient care and wellness. You will work with a leadership team that is as committed to your wellbeing as we are to animal welfare. Bring your passion, find your purpose!
