The Vibe:
We’re looking for a veterinarian who wants to build a professional home, become a leader in rehabilitation medicine, and help shape the future of a practice that is deeply committed to whole-patient wellness.
- We are independently owned and relationship-driven. Decisions are made by the people who work here and care for our patients—not by a distant corporate office.
- We are building something special, and we’re looking for a veterinarian who wants to help shape what comes next.
- We value thoughtful medicine over production metrics and long-term patient outcomes over quick fixes.
- We hire people who take ownership—of their cases, their growth, their team, and the future of the practice.
- Like many growing practices, we have experienced both exciting successes and growing pains. We are looking for someone who can help us navigate both.
- This role is ideal for a veterinarian who is energized by ownership, problem-solving, and helping build a strong future—not someone seeking a highly structured environment where everything is always figured out. We love protocols, but realize that every situation doesn’t fit the book.
- We are especially interested in veterinarians seeking a long-term professional home and who view rehabilitation not as a stepping stone, but as their chosen niche and passion.
- For the right individual, opportunities for leadership, expanded responsibility, and future ownership discussions may exist.
The Position:
- Full-time, 3-4-day work week.
- Competitive salary based on experience and credentials.
- Comprehensive benefits: PTO, CE allowance, license and dues, health/vision/dental insurance, and personal pet care perks.
- Clinical experience required.
- Rehabilitation certification (or eligibility) required.
- Interest in practice ownership is a plus!
The Opportunity:
This position offers the chance to practice high-quality rehabilitation and naturopathic medicine while becoming an integral part of a collaborative and highly experienced team.
- You will have significant influence over the medicine you practice, the client experience we create, and the direction of the practice.
- You will work alongside experienced rehabilitation technicians (40+ years!) who are deeply invested in their patients and the success of the practice.
- You will help shape protocols, systems, and the future direction of Healing Arts Animal Care.
- You will build long-term relationships with clients who are deeply invested in their pets’ success and willing to do the work rehabilitation requires.
- You will join a team that believes in accountability, collaboration, continuous learning, and showing up for one another during both the easy seasons and the challenging ones.
This is not the right fit for someone looking for a temporary stop or simply a change of scenery.
This is an opportunity for a veterinarian who wants to invest in a practice, a team, and a community for years to come.

The Team Vibe:
We’re a no-drama, ego-free zone filled with amazing unicorns! We work hard, laugh often, support each other, and care deeply about our patients and one another.
Our Practice Philosophy
About 50% of our patients are geriatric, seeking improved quality of life; the other 50% are post-op or conservatively managed orthopedic/neurologic cases. We are a Low Stress Handling Certified clinic, and it shows—clients often say, “My dog drags me in here!” We stay accessible via phone, text, and email while still protecting personal time and boundaries. We enjoy close, first-name relationships with local rDVMs, surgeons, neurologists and other specialists, many of whom are also clients.
Why Portland?
Dogs rule every roost in Portland!
Easy access to the Oregon Coast, Mt. Hood skiing, hiking, biking, and endless outdoor adventures.
A vibrant food, arts, music, and veterinary community.
Excellent schools and healthcare.
Home to Nike, Intel, Adidas, and some incredibly dedicated pet owners who consider their animals family. And yes, Portland really is as quirky and diversity-friendly as you’ve heard. We even have The Unipiper (look him up)—a kilt-wearing bagpiper who rides a unicycle through the city.
Sound Like Your Kind of Place?
Come learn, teach, grow, and laugh with us! We often hear, “You guys are always smiling—I want to work here!”
