Northeast Ohio SPCA is a no-kill non-profit pet shelter that is searching for a veterinarian to care for our shelter pets, as well as some community outpatients. 

Candidates must be DVM & DEA licensed and have some diagnostic and surgery experience.  The individual that fills this role will be responsible for maintaining the health of our shelter population.

Routine duties include:

• Collaborate with the shelter manager regarding the composition and quantity of all animals brought to the shelter.

The ideal candidate will understand shelter medicine, have worked or volunteered in a shelter environment, or be willing to learn. A great attitude and the ability to maintain good relationships with other veterinarians in our community is a must.
