Livewell Animal Hospital Partner Veterinarian

Livewell Animal Hospitals are start-up hospitals built in partnership between Mission Pet Health and Founding Veterinarians.

As a Founding DVM, you can shape, launch, and lead a fully funded hospital built around your medical passions and your community’s needs.

The hospitals are designed to reflect the vision of their founders—not a cookie-cutter template—with a concierge-level commitment to individualized, high-quality care. You’ll be supported every step of the way, but empowered to practice medicine the way you have always dreamed of!

Each Livewell location is carefully selected based on strong demographic, market, and growth data—to give the Founding DVM and hospital the best chance at long-term success.

The Village at Gateway in Forney is an outstanding setting for a Livewell Animal Hospital, positioned at the center of one of the fastest-growing communities in the nation. Kaufman County is the second-fastest growing county in the U.S., with Forney experiencing a population increase of more than 86% over the last decade. By 2026, the immediate trade area will surpass 90,000 residents, supported by an average household income of over $100,000. This rapid growth is fueled by a surge of new housing developments, a highly regarded school district, and major employers drawing families and professionals east of Dallas.

Anchored by national retailers, restaurants, and entertainment venues, the Village at Gateway is designed to be a true destination, providing visibility and steady client flow for new businesses. With convenient access to US-80 and just 25 miles from downtown Dallas, this location combines accessibility, community energy, and long-term stability. For Livewell, it represents not just a chance to thrive financially but also to become a trusted resource in a young, vibrant, and pet-loving community that is actively seeking quality care.

If you are an experienced veterinarian with an appetite for professional and/or financial growth, have strong leadership & interpersonal skills, and are passionate about high-quality care and client experience - this is the perfect opportunity for you!
