Volunteer Veterinarian

Description:

Our shelter and community clinic is looking for assistance from veterinarians currently licensed to practice in Massachusetts. Volunteer Veterinarians most often assist by performing spay/neuter procedures, but we also welcome those with a specialized skillset (Exotics, dermatology, etc.)

Due to limited staffing, we are unable to provide training on spay/neuter surgeries; we are looking for veterinarians who already have established surgical skills.

Responsibilities:

  • Perform spay/neuter surgeries
  • Additional surgeries as determined by your skillset and the animals scheduled on your volunteer day
  • Complete necessary documentation regarding procedures
  • Communication with shelter staff or owner of an animal in regard to surgery performed

Qualities/Skills:

  • Ability to work well in a small, busy area
  • Ability to work independently and as part of a team
  • Excellent attention to detail

Requirements:

  • Copy of Massachusetts veterinary license
  • Proof of professional liability insurance
  • Resume, with your average time to complete dog and cat spay/neuter surgery in your application
  • Upload these items during the application process or email to capevolunteer@mspca.org 

Time Commitment:

  • One full day a month or more preferred, Monday through Friday (The clinic is closed on weekends)
  • Six month commitment preferred – longer commitments welcome!
