Part-Time Veterinarian

About Heartstrings Pet Hospice

Heartstrings Pet Hospice is a privately owned, rapidly growing in-home euthanasia and end-of-life care practice founded on our core values of Compassion, Dignity, and Respect. Unlike corporate or private-equity–backed organizations, our focus is on people—our families, our patients, and our medical team.

We are expanding into Vancouver, Camas, Ridgefield, Battle Ground, Salmon Creek & Other Surrounding Area's and we are seeking exceptional Associate Veterinarians who want to practice meaningful medicine in a supportive, values-driven environment.

At Heartstrings, you will never be asked to sign a non-compete agreement.
We believe great veterinarians stay because they’re valued—not because they’re restricted.
