Our full service, non-profit veterinary hospital, and soon to be 9-doctor practice has been open to the public since 1997. Our veterinary hospital team provides quality and compassionate medical services to pets with guardians, and the same high-quality care for animals in our shelter. Across the shelter and public practice, there is a diverse patient caseload with unique backgrounds, histories and living environments. This provides opportunities for veterinarians to encounter a wide range of conditions, illnesses and behavior challenges to hone their diagnostic skills while staying versatile in their approaches. The exposure to such varied cases stimulates collaborative problem-solving involving team members in all roles and an innovative working environment. Hospital and grant programs help to reduce the cost of urgent and general wellness care for pet guardians needing access to affordable veterinary services. Revenue generated by the veterinary hospital directly supports the mission of the Humane Society of Boulder Valley by funding health care for shelter animals.
We encourage applications from members of underrepresented groups including but not limited to women, members of the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, people with disabilities, and veterans. Spanish/English-speaking individuals are encouraged to apply. Applications and/or curriculum vitae will be accepted through March 23, 2025.
