We try to bridge the gap for pet owners that need help the most including low-income residents and those facing homelessness by providing access to preventative vet care to ensure the health and welfare of all pets. BAC opened in 1992 and is operated by Beesley Animal Foundation which since 1980 has provided support and education to the community in promoting responsible pet ownership and stopping pet overpopulation.

This is an opportunity to enjoy meaningful work in animal welfare while also maintaining the necessary work-life balance to make time for family, rest, and the pursuit of other passions.
We welcome any Veterinarian who would like to give back to the community and is interested in providing leadership and vision for our organization in continuing to provide high-quality affordable vet care.
