Associate Veterinarian
Location: Shelburne Falls, MA | Job Type: Permanent | Base Salary: $140,000 - $160,000
Consultant - Ben Richmond

Job Description
We are working on behalf of a well established, independently owned small animal practice in Shelburne Falls, MA that is looking to welcome an experienced Associate Veterinarian to its team.
This is a genuinely non-corporate clinic with decades of goodwill and a loyal, long standing client base, many of whom have trusted the practice for fifteen to twenty years or more. The role centers on classic dog and cat general practice, with a manageable caseload of roughly fifteen to twenty patients a day, thirty minute appointments for new and sick visits, and a calm, low stress environment that puts quality of care first. You would work from a comfortable one story hospital with a brand new digital X-ray unit, a therapeutic laser, in-house lab capability, and a full dentistry setup, supported by an experienced, cross-trained team who know the practice inside out. There is no emergency duty, with after hours cases referred to a dedicated ER a short drive away.
What makes this opportunity stand out is the clear pathway to practice ownership. The owner is planning a gradual, well supported transition and is open to an associate buying in over time or purchasing the practice outright, so the role can be shaped as a clinical position with a route to ownership or as a straight purchase for the right person. If you value autonomy, a rural lifestyle, and the chance to build something of your own in a proven, community focused clinic, this is well worth a conversation.
