Career Center

Want to make a difference? We are not a corporation. We are a general practice veterinary clinic with a TWIST! Not only do we provide an essential service to an underserved area, we work with over 20 different rescue organizations, helping in almost all aspects of animal rescue. We are also in the process of setting up our own non-profit arm of the clinic.

Our services include spay/neuter, other soft tissue surgeries (mass removals, amputation, eye surgeries, etc), dentals, general appointments, low cost vaccines, full diagnostic capabilities, emergency services during clinic hours, and more! Because of the volume of cases we see, we keep our prices low, helping many clients and their pets as well as all of the rescue organizations.

We see dogs, cats, rabbits, pigs, other exotics, the occasional chicken or goat. What we can offer is solely dependent on the desire of the veterinarian - you want to see other species? We can do that. You want to perform more advanced services on exotics? We can do that. You want to spend more time with clients? We can do that. You want to focus on surgery? We can do that. Our clinic is very open to growth, exploration, and input from ALL staff.

Are you going to be a new grad in May/June? We value your input just as much as a seasoned veterinarian. We also offer mentorship and one-on-one training. You will not be alone in the clinic until you and your mentor are completely ready.

Our clinic is located 30 minutes to Chattanooga, a cool little city in Tennessee, and 80 miles from Atlanta. There are amazing hiking and biking routes within 15 min of the clinic. Rivers and lakes allow for great kayaking and paddle-boarding experiences. Even though the city of Dalton may not be on your bucket-list, there's so much more to this area than being a little rural city. We hope you take a chance and check us out. Our clinic, focusing on compassionate, affordable care, does so much good for our community, and the good we do can be amplified when you come on board!

Compensation is generous! We are not a corporation but we strive to be competitive with big business!! We even offer help with paying down your student loan!

We would love to discuss your interests and your opportunities with our clinic. Please feel free to reach out for more information.

Strong work ethic, DVM or equivalent, kind heart with an utmost love of animals, a desire to make a difference.
