Morris Animal Refuge is looking for a Full or Part-time Veterinarian to join our Amazing Team!
Founded in 1874 Morris Animal Refuge is the Nation’s First Animal Refuge and first institution in the World to shelter Cats! We take in all domestic animals from Dogs and Cats to Small Mammals, Reptiles and even Birds with the goal of finding all of them forever homes. Steeped in history and a pioneer in Animal Welfare, today Morris Animal Refuge is a successful life-saving organization with a 96% Save Rate. Morris has all of the features of a large Animal Shelter but in a smaller more intimate environment where employees develop meaningful professional relationships and pursue a common goal of lifesaving for all of the animals that come to our shelter.
The Shelter Veterinarian is an essential member of the MAR senior leadership team and is primarily responsible for performing all aspects of veterinary care including physical exams, diagnostic tests, surgical procedures, monitoring population health, and maintaining proper record keeping for all of our sheltered animals. The shelter veterinarian also performs daily rounds, initiates and follows up on treatment plans for both shelter and foster animals. Over the past two years, we have dramatically increased our medical care resources - with the building of a brand-new state of the art surgical suite and three life-saving isolation rooms. We are currently in need of a passionate veterinarian to join our medical team on either a full-time or part-time basis and offer amazing care to our ever-growing animal welfare community.
We offer a competitive salary, continuing education, wonderful benefits, a fun working environment and amazing support from our Executive Director and fellow Senior Team members. Also, with the shelter located in the bustling downtown area of Central Philadelphia, there are a multiple of leisure activities available during off work hours. Activities include but are not limited to, multiple parks and recreational activities, restaurants/bars/lounges for nightlife festivities, several fashion shopping districts, and key historical landmarks and museums all throughout Central Philadelphia. The shelter is easily accessible by public transportation which connects you through various Philadelphia neighborhoods and surrounding suburbs.
We may be small, but we are mighty - Our lifesaving mission along with our drive for continuous improvement and growth creates a wonderful environment for a full-time Veterinarian looking to pursue a successful and meaningful career in shelter medicine. If you are excited and interested in this opportunity - we would love to hear from you. |
