Veterinarian

About the Role

The Fort Erie Spay & Neuter Clinic with Basic Care is looking for a full-time veterinarian who wants to step away from corporate culture and work with purpose. You'll spend roughly 40 hours a week alternating between surgery days and wellness days—a rhythm that lets you maintain real balance while helping community animals thrive. This is the kind of role where your impact is immediate and visible: you're not just treating animals, you're setting them up to become amazing pets in loving homes.

The team here is close-knit and genuinely welcoming. You'll work alongside experienced RVTs and animal care assistants who understand the flow of a busy clinic and take pride in supporting their veterinarian. The practice actively mentors new graduates and values experienced vets who want something different—whether you're early in your career or looking to phase back in after time away.
