Veterinary Surgeon – Shelter Medicine
Become an exceptional surgeon. Transform thousands of lives.
Every day, between 20 and 40 injured, sick, and vulnerable animals are admitted to Animal Aid Unlimited’s hospital. From emergency trauma cases and complex wounds to fractures, tumours, amputations and high-volume sterilization surgeries, our veterinarians are exposed to an extraordinary variety of medical and surgical cases rarely found in a single workplace.

Learn from exceptional mentors
Our veterinary team is led by a highly experienced shelter surgeon who has successfully trained many young veterinarians to become confident, skilled surgeons. You'll receive hands-on guidance while developing your abilities in both routine and advanced soft tissue surgery.
You'll also benefit from the support of senior shelter veterinarians from around the world, who regularly provide advice and guidance on unusual and challenging medical cases.
