Join Our Team
Rustebakke Veterinary Service, Clarkston, WA
Some days here start with a puppy’s first visit and end with a cow that couldn’t wait. We’re a mixed-animal practice in the Lewis-Clark Valley, where the Snake meets the Clearwater, and we like people who take good medicine seriously and themselves a little less so. Think of this page as an introduction, not a job board. If you get to the bottom and find yourself nodding, we’d love to meet you.
Our Core Values
The kind of team we’re building. Our core values describe how we expect to treat our patients, our clients, our coworkers, and ourselves.
Respect
We respect our patients, our clients, and every member of our team.
We recognize that everyone brings different experiences, strengths, perspectives, and responsibilities to the table.
Respect means listening before responding, assuming positive intent, communicating directly, and creating an environment where people feel safe to speak up.
Integrity
We do the right thing, even when it’s hard.
We hold ourselves to a high standard of honesty, accountability, and professionalism. We own our mistakes. We communicate openly. We make recommendations based on what is best for the patient rather than what is easiest. And we strive to practice medicine we can be proud of.
Advocacy
We use our voice to make a difference.
Advocacy means being a voice for patients who cannot speak for themselves and helping clients make informed decisions about their care.
It also means advocating for our teammates, our profession, and ourselves. We want people on our team to feel empowered to speak up, ask questions, seek better answers, and help us improve.
Community
We are part of something bigger than our practice.
We are part of the Lewis-Clark Valley. We believe in supporting the people, animals, agricultural community, and organizations that make this place home. We want our team to be involved, connected, and proud of the role veterinary medicine plays in our community.
Life in the Lewis-Clark Valley
