I want a team that I look forward to working with! That supports me. That knows me. With approachable, experienced leaders that are fair, present and transparent. With professional colleagues that lean on each other. I need a place that pays well and transparently. With a weekly schedule that's flexible and won't burn me or my team out. A team with leaders who empower me. A modern hospital with high standards that expects excellence from me and everyone else on the team. A place that is NOT a corporate world. A veterinarian crew that has the right core values and remembers why we are all here in the first place.

Everyone hopes to find a professional team like this! This is the culture we strive to build, day by day, one team member at a time, for all of us.

At Shelter Bay Animal Hospital, our mission is to elevate the well-being of pets and their families by delivering exceptional veterinary care with the same dedication and love we give our own. As a private, local family-owned hospital, we are driven by our multi-generational passion for animals, medicine and science. We believe in going the extra mile, working harder and smarter to ensure that every pet receives the best care possible, whether for routine check-ups or advanced treatments. 

We foster meaningful, collaborative, and personal relationships to ensure that every patient receives the highest standard of care in a welcoming, compassionate environment. Our commitment to excellence means our patients are always in the best hands, with a team that is deeply invested in their health and happiness.
