Role Description

As many know, a growing shortage of veterinarians is impacting hundreds of thousands of California’s shelter and companion animals. We’re seeing delays in medical treatment, overcrowding in the shelters, and more outbreaks of disease. Sometimes, shelters are left with no other option than to euthanize treatable, adoptable pets, while some pet guardians are forced to surrender their animals because they cannot get the care they need. 

The San Francisco SPCA is seeking a qualified, experienced RVT who wants to contribute to our goals by helping to fill open shifts with our Stockton shelter partners. Interested professionals with proven veterinary nursing skills, a commitment to teamwork, a positive attitude for problem solving and communication, and the desire to learn and grow should apply. Previous experience in High Quality High Volume Spay Neuter (HQHVSN), animal welfare or shelter setting is preferred. 

Shifts are scheduled based upon your availability.
