Job description
Are you passionate about improving access to veterinary care and preserving the human-animal bond? At one of the largest animal shelters on the East Coast, you'll do work that a private practice simply can't offer.
Your caseload will span the full range of shelter medicine: performing surgeries and wellness exams on shelter animals awaiting adoption, treating privately owned pets through our community care programs, handling cruelty and neglect cases on location, and providing care for pets in our foster network.
Whether you're a new graduate building confidence across a wide variety of cases, or an experienced veterinarian looking for meaningful, mission-driven work — this role offers something rare: variety, purpose, and a team that has your back.
What the work looks like:
Surgeries and physical exams for shelter animals
Wellness and sick visits for privately owned pets in our community programs
On-location treatment of cruelty and neglect cases
Wellness exams for animals in our foster care network
Collaboration with a multidisciplinary shelter medicine team
Compensation & Signing
Competitive salary
Sign-on bonus
Relocation assistance
Benefits
Health, dental & vision insurance
403(b) Retirement with 3% organizational match
Continuing Education - annual CE allowance provided
Licensing fees - 100% paid by BVSPCA
Liability Coverage - 100% paid professional liability insurance
Life insurance - 100% employer-paid
Pet Care Discount - Discounted care for your pets
Paid Time Off - Generous PTO package
Location:
Harrisburg, PA, the state capital — whether you prefer the countryside or urban environments, Harrisburg has it all. Just a quick drive to Hershey Park, public transportation access to Philadelphia, New York, and more!
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree from an accredited college or university and one year of professional veterinary medical experience.
Possession of a current license to practice veterinary medicine in Delaware and/or Pennsylvania or ability to get one.
Shelter experience or high volume experience preferred but not required willing to mentor the right candidate.
