Our staff works in a bright, modern facility (opened in 2021) that was the first public animal shelter in the United States to meet 100% of the Association of Shelter Veterinarians' Animal Shelter Guidelines. We prioritize a meaningful, collaborative, and positive work culture and are committed to providing high quality veterinary care to those animals in our care. Compensation is competitive, the comprehensive benefits package is excellent (including continuing education, pension, healthcare and retirement), and every day offers the opportunity to engage in meaningful public service.

Licensed veterinary technician is strongly preferred.
