Who We Are

Pet Community Center is a nonprofit on a mission to strengthen the human-animal bond through accessible veterinary care and support services. We operate a high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter and vaccine clinic serving the Metro Nashville area. We also operate a Community Cat Program and a Pets for Life outreach program. Since 2011, Pet Community Center has served more than 125,000 animals.

 

Who Thrives on Our Team

Pet Community Center believes that people love their pets and want the best for them. We serve and share information with pet owners in a non-judgmental, respectful way. We are looking for compassionate individuals who share that belief and who are motivated by serving underserved people and their pets.

We are searching for team members who are comfortable with being responsible for daily care of surgical or vaccine clinic patients, general cleaning, and training of others. Team members also cross-train with other positions such as Client Services Associate, and they have the opportunity to build strong skills in animal welfare services.
