It is an excellent idea. We don't have a vet on board since we are a small rescue. Have you thought of contacting near-by Vet Schools, particularly HBCU Vet Schools to provide an opportunity to a newly graduated veterinarian? I am in the Nashville area and we are suffering from a shortage of Vets, particularly independent vets as most practices are being taken over by the Corporations. My current personal vet is moving to a new office and will need a second vet to come on board soon. He mentioned that there are more retiring that coming into our area. It will get tougher in time.

Subject: Are vet employment agreements ever done in animal welfare?
This message was posted by a user wishing to remain anonymous
Has anyone ever hired a vet who needed training and asked that vet to sign an agreement to stay a certain amount of time (say 6 months) or pay training costs back? Things are so competitive right now that we'd hate to lose our investment. But also don't want to offend the prospective employee. Are such agreements a thing in the vet world, particularly in the animal welfare space?
