Roo is a first-of-its-kind online veterinary relief service platform that gives veterinarians, vet techs and hospitals complete control over where and how they work. We at Roo see ourselves as more than just a vet recruitment agency. We saw veterinary clinics whose clients needs outpaced their ability to fulfill them, and we saw veterinarians and vet techs working themselves to the bone at the mercy of everyone elses demands. We aim to transform the animal healthcare workplace to empower the veterinary professionals who make it so special. Veterinary medicine is so much more than just a job – it’s a passion. Combining innovative technology with an unmatched personal touch, Roo will change how you think about veterinary staffing. Join our growing community for free today.

Better dog nutrition is here. Founded by dog parents and powered by dog lovers, Jinx is your new go-to for healthy, high-quality food and treats for your dog. Trust us, we get it. 💚🐶 "Three years ago we were in a pretty horrific car accident. Blitz, my senior rescue dog, severely injured his spine, and the accident left him paralyzed. Because his recovery was fully dependent on his weight and rehabilitation, we needed a food that would work for him. We tried everything. He wasn’t interested in dry dog food; wet food made his stool really runny, and he actually got food poisoning from fresh food. After exhausting all of our options, we decided to make our own." — Terri Rockovich, CEO & Co-Founder Deadline "Pooch loving celebs Trevor Noah, Chris Evans, NFL star Odell Beckham Jr. and CAA co-founder Michael Ovitz are among the latest high-profile investors in Jinx. Hollywood players do invest in passion projects but Jinx has a particularly heavy hitting roster. Will Smith, Halsey, Nas, Michael Strahan, Zachary Quinto and Lily Singh were part of a seed funding round that raised $3.75M in the fall of 2019 led by Initialized Capital." Pet Age "Jinx, the internet’s favorite nutrition brand for modern dogs, recently announced its premium line of kibble, treats and dental chews are now available in Walmart stores nationwide and online. By making its products available to Walmart customers, Jinx will expand its reach by offering a better-for-you label, and shelf-stable products to dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes across the U.S." 💪 Female Founded 📍 Built in California 🌱 Actively Growing

At the San Francisco SPCA we envision a world in which the love people share with animals uplifts humanity to a state of greater compassion. On a spring day in 1868, San Francisco banker James Sloan Hutchinson caught sight of two men dragging a terrified hog along the rough cobblestone street. Appalled, Hutchinson stepped in to stop the cruelty and rescue the hog. The incident crystallized Hutchinson’s concern over widespread animal abuse, and he soon rallied 15 like-minded citizens to found the San Francisco SPCA. Since then the SF SPCA has become one of San Francisco’s most enduring and respected institutions. It is a national leader in saving homeless cats and dogs and working to end animal abandonment. We all share a common passion here at the San Francisco SPCA. Not just for the animals saved, but for their companions and those in our community who then foster, volunteer, or adopt. Whether affected by illness, injury, or homelessness, the animals we help need our expertise and compassion. You could wake up every day knowing you’ll be “doing good work” in a fulfilling environment where no two days are the same. The SF SPCA has been at the forefront of animal welfare for 150+ years, and Vision 2030 is our plan to positively impact 5+ million lives over the next decade. We are looking for animal-loving professionals to help us turn this vision into reality!
