Job Description

Livewell Animal Urgent Care of Colorado Springs  


We invite you to consider joining the team as our very first Associate DVM. This is an exceptional opportunity to be part of a hospital’s legacy from the ground up. You won’t just fill a role—you’ll help set the pace, shape the culture, and influence how our care is delivered for years to come.

 

Our urgent care model bridges the gap between general practice and emergency. We’re here for pets who can’t wait for a regular appointment, but don’t need full ER hospitalization.

 

That means interesting cases, steady variety, and no overnights!

You’ll work alongside a leadership team deeply committed to collaboration, mentorship, and joy in our work. At Livewell, we believe a happy, cohesive team delivers the best medicine.

 

Why you’ll love this role:

  • Be part of the hospital’s story as our very first associate
  • Influence our culture, workflows, and client experience
  • Enjoy a varied caseload without overnight shifts
  • Practice with full medical autonomy and strong peer support
  • Join a leadership team that puts people first


If you’re ready to make an impact, grow your skills, and help write Livewell Animal Urgent Care’s story, we’d love to meet you.
