Wildlife Veterinarians specialize in diagnosing and treating wild animals in clinical settings or in the field. Both roles require veterinary credentials but differ mainly in their work environment and primary focus.

What is International Animal Rescue?

International Animal Rescue (IAR) is a global nonprofit organization dedicated to rescuing and rehabilitating animals in need, protecting their natural habitats, and promoting animal welfare worldwide. They work with a variety of species, including primates, bears, and domestic animals, providing emergency aid, veterinary care, and long-term sanctuary when necessary. IAR also runs educational campaigns and works with local communities to address the root causes of animal suffering and habitat destruction.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an International Animal Rescue professional, and why are they important?

To thrive as an International Animal Rescue professional, you need expertise in animal care, wildlife rehabilitation, and knowledge of local and international wildlife laws, often supported by a degree in veterinary science, biology, or a related field. Familiarity with field equipment, animal tracking technology, and rescue protocols is typically required, and certifications in wildlife handling or first aid can be advantageous. Strong communication, cultural sensitivity, and resilience are vital soft skills to effectively coordinate with diverse teams and communities in challenging environments. These skills and qualities are crucial for ensuring animal welfare, successful rescue operations, and sustainable conservation outcomes.

What are some common challenges faced by professionals in International Animal Rescue roles, and how can they be managed?

Professionals working in International Animal Rescue often face challenges such as adapting to different cultural and regulatory environments, handling a variety of animal species with unique needs, and working in sometimes remote or resource-limited settings. Managing these challenges typically involves thorough training in animal care, strong cross-cultural communication skills, and effective teamwork with both local and international colleagues. Flexibility, resilience, and a passion for animal welfare are essential qualities to thrive in this dynamic and impactful field.

Job description

Who we are:

Join our AAHA-Accredited Team - FT or PT | Near Madison, WI

Hill-Dale Veterinary Care is seeking an enthusiastic Veterinarian to join our well-established, AAHA-accredited small animal practice in Baraboo-just 10 minutes from Wisconsin Dells (the "Waterpark Capital of the World"), 45 minutes from Madison, and 1.5 hours from Milwaukee.

With over 50 years of service and deep community ties, we've built a loyal client base and a tenured, close-knit team that truly enjoys working together. Our culture is rooted in collaboration and celebrating each other's wins-including two beloved four-legged team members, Seamus O'Davis (our resident small fry) and Sean O'Connery (our three-legged spy), who found their forever home with us.

Why You'll Love Working Here

  • Strong technician support - 5 CVTs + 2 assistants (typically 2 CVTs per doctor)
  • Manageable caseload - ~12-16 patients/day with 30-minute appointments
  • True lunch break - 1-hour lunch + 30 minutes of admin time during slower seasons
  • Thoughtfully designed space - 5 exam rooms, surgery suite, and separate dental area
  • Feline-friendly approach - separate cat exam room and hospital suite
  • Low-stress handling approach - support better patient care and team experience
  • Weekly team collaboration - Monday meetings + regular lunch & learns (often CE eligible)
  • Low turnover, highly tenured team - leadership and staff with 10+ year tenure

Advanced Diagnostics, Treatment & Technology

We are a tech-forward, fully equipped hospital that continues to invest in advanced care, including:

  • Full Idexx in-house lab suite (ProCyte, Catalyst, Sedivue, SNAP, UA Analyzer, coagulation)
  • Digital radiography + digital dental radiographs
  • Ultrasound, Tono-Pen, Companion Therapy Laser
  • AI-assisted SOAP notes (used by the entire team for 18+ months)

We also offer specialist collaboration without referral delays:

  • Internal medicine, neurology, and surgery specialists travel onsite
  • Access to advanced surgical procedures (including TPLOs)

A Schedule That Works for You

  • Part-time (2 days) or full-time (3 or 4 days) options
  • 7:30am-5pm typical hours
  • Rotating evening coverage:
    • Monday: 5-6pm
    • Thursday: 5-8pm
  • No weekends, no on-call, no after-hours
  • Always at least one weekday off

We're flexible and happy to tailor schedules based on your preferences.

What You'll Practice

  • 100% small animal (canine/feline), with optional exotics if interested
  • Strong focus on dentistry (4-5 dentals/week) and preventative care
  • Opportunities to explore behavior and advanced procedures

Rooted in Community

We're proud to support organizations like:

  • Sauk County Humane Society
  • International Crane Foundation
  • GRROW (Golden Retriever Rescue of Wisconsin)

Live Where Others Vacation

Located in the scenic Baraboo Bluffs, Baraboo offers the perfect mix of outdoor adventure and small-town charm. Spend your time off exploring:

  • Devil's Lake State Park (just 5 minutes away)
  • International Crane Foundation (10 minutes away)
  • Hiking, boating, camping, and nearby skiing
  • A vibrant downtown with local shops, restaurants, and arts

Known as a historic "Circus City," Baraboo is home to the Circus World Museum and the iconic Al. Ringling Theatre-often called "America's Prettiest Playhouse." All while being just minutes from Wisconsin Dells and within easy driving distance of Madison and Milwaukee.

What We Offer

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Paid parental leave
  • 401(k) with company match
  • CE allowance + Vetcor University access
  • Paid professional dues & liability coverage
  • Vacation, sick, and CE time off
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Growth opportunities 

Who We're Looking For

  • Experienced veterinarians ready to join our collaborative team
  • Interest in surgery/dentistry is a plus (not required)
  • A team-oriented, collaborative mindset

Diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are core values at Hill-Dale Veterinary Care. We are committed to an inclusive workplace where team members feel comfortable being their authentic selves, experience a strong sense of belonging, and are empowered to reach their full potential.
