**Generous Base Salary and Sign-On Incentives!!

Blue Ridge Veterinary Associates is a ten-doctor practice in Purcellville, VA (an hour from Washington, D.C., and Baltimore, MD), and an excellent 24-hour hospital. For over 30 years, our staff has helped thousands of pets live healthier, happier, and longer-lasting lives. We see everything from routine puppy visits to complex surgical and internal medicine cases, including emergencies. We also work extensively with rescue organizations.

Purcellville, Virginia is for those seeking an active lifestyle in a creatively focused, well-rounded community. Purcellville is ideally situated, an hour from Washington D.C., and only 30 minutes from Dulles International Airport. Nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge, this family-friendly 18^th-century town has somewhat of a frontier feel to it. The low-slung buildings of downtown, including a renovated grain mill turned restaurant and a 1940s Buick dealership turned whiskey distillery, are reminiscent of a film set. Kids and teens love the mom ‘n’ pop diners, ice cream parlors, thrift stores, roller rink and ballpark and the town is an excellent departure point for the wineries, breweries and hiking trails of the surrounding countryside.
