Job Description

Job Description

Salary : $120,000 - $160,000 annually

If youre a veterinarian who wants to practice meaningful, mission-driven medicine without the grind of a traditional private practice, Anderson Humane would love to welcome you to our team.

Anderson Humane is a progressive, non-profit, no-kill, animal welfare organization serving more than 3,500 animals annually through adoption, veterinary shelter medicine, community programs, and wildlife assistance. Our medical team is impact-focused, collaborative, and dedicated to delivering the highest standard of care to animals who truly need it. At our clinic, your clients are primarily in-house departmental teams and foster families; partners who work with you, not pet owners expecting transactional service.

At Anderson Humane, you can practice with purpose, stability, and genuine support.

Why You Matter

Our veterinarian shapes the quality of life for every animal who enters our care. Youll provide compassionate medical and surgical services to animals across our shelter, our network of foster families, and our low-cost community clinic without upselling, revenue quotas, or production pressure. Youll help guide protocols, collaborate across departments, and play an essential role in shaping future facility planning.

This is ideal for someone who wants autonomy, teamwork, and a healthy work-life balance.

What Youll Do

Medical & Surgical Care

  • Deliver high-quality diagnostic, medical, and surgical care to dogs, cats, and small mammals.
  • Perform spay / neuter and other routine shelter procedures.
  • Support foster families and departmental teams managing medical cases.
  • Perform limited low-cost clinic procedures (not a general practice workload).
  • Triage and stabilize urgent medical cases.
  • Provide humane, progressive care using Fear Free principles.

Collaboration & Internal Support

  • Serve as the primary medical partner for our animal care, intake, foster, and adoption teams.
  • Mentor veterinary technicians and clinic support staff.
  • Collaborate with leadership on policies and protocols, workflow improvements, and future clinic planning.
  • Standards, Safety & Compliance

  • Maintain high ethical and professional standards.
  • Ensure accurate medical records and adherence to safety protocols.
  • Contribute to a supportive work environment for staff, volunteers, and animals.
  • Organizational Support

  • Provide input and feedback on program development and operational improvements.
  • Participate in mission-focused meetings, trainings, and organization events.
  • Embrace additional duties that support our organizational mission.
  • What to Expect

  • Consistent daytime schedule and no evenings.
  • Minimal weekend needs.
  • No sales pressure.
  • Indoor clinic setting with occasional outdoor activity.
  • Handling and interacting with animals of varying temperaments.
  • Ability to lift 4050 lbs with assistance.
  • What were looking for

    Required

  • DVM from an accredited program.
  • Illinois Veterinary License in good standing (or ability to obtain).
  • Illinois Controlled Substance License and DEA License (or ability to obtain).
  • Strong diagnostic skills and clinical judgement.
  • Surgical proficiency including spay / neuter.
  • Collaborative mindset and strong communication.
  • Commitment to humane and progressive animal care.
  • Willingness to pursue Fear Free Certification (provided).
  • Preferred

  • Shelter medicine or nonprofit experience.
  • Comfort with small mammals or willingness to learn.
  • Ability to consult on occasional wildlife cases (managed by wildlife staff).
  • What Youll Love

    This is not a high-pressure, revenue-driven clinic. This is mission-centered veterinary work with internal teams that value respect, collaboration, and innovation. A place where your expertise truly changes lives.

  • Competitive annual salary; $120,000 - $160,000
  • Sign-on bonus : $10,000 paid out in 2 installments, at 90 days and 6 months of full-time employment.
  • Generous PTO accrual.
  • Medical, dental, and vision insurance.
  • Short-term disability and Life / AD&D options.
  • Continuing Education (CE) stipend and paid CE days.
  • Covered licensing fees.
  • Retirement plan.
  • Strong technical support.
  • A collaborative, positive team culture.
  • The ability to shape future medical protocols and facility design.
  • The opportunity to make an immediate impact on animals who need you most.
