Veterinarian

About Us:
Lucky Chi Dog Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has made it their mission to ensure dogs and cats are spayed and neutered as well as placed into loving forever homes. Opening up the low-cost spay and neuter clinic has been the best way for this organization to not only give back to the rescue community, but to create a legacy - and we need your help to do this.

We are seeking a dedicated and licensed veterinarian to join our team at our newly opened, fully equipped, low-cost spay and neuter clinic.

Being that this role does not require a full week schedule, we are looking for candidates who want to work with a great organization alongside their current job or simply those who want a lighter schedule.
