Shout-out to our Veterinary Assistant Lead, Mallory, and our medical team for always using their creativity to help the animals who need it most! When a tiny kitten comes in who needs some extra help getting around, you use what's available to make it happen. Nothing a few rulers, zip-ties and Hot Wheels can't solve! 😊

Want to become a part a lifesaving team that cares for over 9,000 animals every year? Consider joining our medical team! It's not always glamorous, but we can guarantee you'll be working with some of the most passionate people you'll ever meet who will do anything to help an animal in need.

👉 We're currently hiring for a Medical Scheduler, Surgery Admin Coordinator, and Veterinary Assistants. Visit our website for details and apply today!
