Job Description
Veterinarian – In-Home Hospice & Euthanasia Care
Charlotte, NC & Surrounding Areas | Full-Time & Part-Time
Family Owned. NO Non-Competes. You Matter. Practice Medicine the Way You Always Hoped You Would.
Your veterinary career should be built on purpose, freedom, and respect—not restrictions.
At Heartstrings Pet Hospice, we're doing veterinary medicine differently.
We're a privately and family-owned veterinary organization where veterinarians are valued as individuals, not production numbers. We believe in professional independence, meaningful medicine, and a workplace where you stay because you want to—not because a contract says you have to.
No corporate pressure. No veterinarian non-competes. No golden handcuffs.
Just compassionate veterinary medicine and a team that genuinely values you.
