Description
San Diego Humane Society is hiring Registered Veterinary Technicians (RVTs) for our San Diego Medical team!
How you’ll impact our mission:
At San Diego Humane Society, we’re united by our mission to Inspire Compassion. In 2015, animal welfare organizations in our region achieved zero euthanasia of healthy and treatable shelter pets — a commitment we have met for the past eleven consecutive years.
