Grow with us! The Michiana Humane Society seeks a talented, experienced, creative veterinarian, licensed (or able to be) in Indiana, to oversee the general healthcare of 900-1000 shelter animals each year, including wellness care, treatment of illnesses, wound care and neglect. Spay/neuter surgeries including dogs and cats as young as 2-3 months, per Indiana State law. Bring your experience in private practice and help guide our organization in expanding services to the community, too!
You’ll work with a fabulous, colorful RVT who has years of experience, and a team of incredible kennel technicians who care deeply about the animals and love to learn what we can do to make their time at the shelter better. We even have a behavior professional to partner with you! Our cadre of over 100 generous volunteers can also lend a hand. And all of these people might teach you a thing or two, too.
This position is ideal for the veterinarian on the cusp of retirement, who wants to stay in the game while improving the work-life balance. Or a parent who values available hours for after-school activities but needs to keep the DVM license current. Or the candidate who is curious about the burgeoning new field of shelter medicine – work part time with us, and join one of the many local private practices or 24/7 emergency clinic for a shift or two.
At MHS you will enjoy a flexible schedule of approximately 16-24 hours/week, and when you’re not working, we are ten minutes from amazing Lake Michigan beaches, twenty from Harbor Country’s wineries and distilleries, and just 75 minutes from downtown Chicago.
Yes, we are a not-for-profit organization, receiving no tax dollars. But we value your time. This endowed position offers wages of $55/hour.
The Michiana Humane Society, Inc. is a private, open admission animal shelter in Michigan City, Indiana since 1920. We accept dogs, cats and small mammals, placing over 98% once they are healthy. Our animals are either strays or owner surrenders.
We are planning for our next century of second chances, and we look forward to working with you!
