Relief Veterinarian - Try before you buy!

Veterinary Positions Available

If you are potentially interested in a full or part time permanent position, please contact us directly. Do not contact us through a relief service. Due to the exuberant fees the relief services charge, it is cost prohibitive to direct hire through these services. We cannot hire you for an entire year after you accept a shift through a relief service. You will also likely get paid more if you schedule relief shifts directly through TLC versus using a relief service. We negotiate!

We have both general practice and surgical relief shifts at all three of our locations. Check out our relief shift openings below. Keep reading to learn more about our surgery positions or general practice/wellness positions.

This is not corporate medicine! You have no sales goals. Leave your job at work - no on call work and no after hours!

About our veterinarians

If you love helping others who cannot afford healthcare, then this job is for you! This non-profit practice provides a spectrum of care to animals, wanting to help as many pets as possible. We do not practice corporate medicine and there are no commission-based goals you need to meet. Your job is helping pet parents and their pets.

Texas Litter Control believes in placing team members in the position with the best fit for the individual.

You are at work a good amount of your time, and it should be enjoyable. Two types of shifts are available. One type of shift is high quality, high volume spay and neuter (HQHVSN). The other is general medicine which performs wellness services for the general public, expanded healthcare (sick clinic) for low-income families and shelter medicine for our adoption animals. All our services are low cost. You, as the veterinarian, can choose the position that best fits your personality and lifestyle.

Do you want to mix it up even more? Texas Litter Control also partners with other shelters and practices in the community. Our veterinarians perform relief veterinary services for other clinics through Texas Litter Control's partnerships. We all help each other out where it is needed to benefit the community.
