At the Humane Society for Hamilton County , we’re rewriting what shelter medicine looks like. As one of the only no-kill, open-admission shelters in the country, we welcome every animal—abused, abandoned, injured, overlooked—and give them the medical care, love, and advocacy they deserve. Our placement rate? Consistently over 98%.
Our brand-new $12 million facility includes a surgical suite with top-of-the-line radiology and surgical equipment, triage and recovery areas, dedicated behavior and quarantine zones, and everything you need to provide gold-standard shelter medicine.
About the Role
As our Shelter Veterinarian , you’ll:
- Lead the charge in high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter, soft tissue, orthopedic, and emergency surgeries.
- Triage and treat cruelty, abuse, and neglect cases with empathy and urgency.
- Implement and refine best-in-class medical protocols and SOPs.
- Serve as a mentor—not a manager—to a skilled team of techs, RVTs, and medical coordinators.
- Collaborate cross-functionally to raise the bar of animal care and shelter medicine.
What Makes This Job Extraordinary
- No red tape, no egos—just impact. You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with a tight-knit, mission-driven team that leads with heart.
- Innovation over bureaucracy. Your voice and medical expertise will shape protocols, not sit on a shelf.
- A workplace that walks the talk. We live our values, from our “Whatever It Takes” mentality to our commitment to equity, empathy, and excellence.
Compensation & Perks
- Salary is competitive, negotiable based on experience
- Full benefits : Medical (Anthem), dental, vision, disability, HSA/FSA, identity theft protection
