The City of Albuquerque's Animal Welfare Department is looking for a high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter (HQHVSN) veterinarian to join our Community Clinic. In this role, you will provide efficient, compassionate care for cats and dogs, ensuring affordable spay/neuter and preventive care services reach families who need them most.

You'll work with an experienced, skilled and dedicated team of veterinary staff and shelter professionals who are deeply committed to the health and well-being of our city's pets. We currently have six veterinarians on staff—there is always someone to consult with, discuss cases and back you up if needed!
