A Hospital Ownership Opportunity at Town & Country Animal Hospital – Portland, OR
Town & Country Animal Hospital
, an AAHA-accredited practice in Portland, OR, is offering a rare opportunity for an entrepreneurial veterinarian to step into
practice ownership
without starting from scratch. If you've dreamed of running your own hospital but want the support of an established brand, loyal client base, and proven infrastructure, this is your moment.
The Opportunity
We're not looking for an employee. We're looking for an
owner-operator
, a veterinarian who wants to lead, build equity, and practice medicine on their own terms. Town & Country Animal Hospital is a thriving, well-equipped practice with a strong community reputation and a warm, close-knit team already in place. You'd be stepping into something real, with room to make it your own. Through our partnership model with
Lakefield Veterinary Group
, you'll have the autonomy of independent ownership backed by the resources, systems, and support of a larger network; the best of both worlds!
What Ownership Looks Like Here
Equity & Profit Participation
: Build real wealth through practice ownership, not just a paycheck
Clinical Autonomy
: Practice medicine your way, with no corporate protocols overriding your judgment
An Established Foundation

Combining the warmth of a family veterinary practice with modern medical capabilities, the hospital is known for its compassionate care, strong client relationships, and commitment to high-quality medicine.
The Market
Town & Country Animal Hospital is located in Southeast Portland near the border of Portland and Gresham. This area offers a lower cost of living than Portland's downtown core while still providing easy access to the city's restaurants, entertainment, and outdoor recreation. Residents enjoy proximity to hiking and biking trails, parks, the Columbia River Gorge, and Mount Hood, making the area especially appealing for outdoor enthusiasts. The surrounding communities of Gresham, Happy Valley, and East Portland provide a mix of suburban neighborhoods, local restaurants, shopping centers, and family-friendly amenities.

Want clinical freedom without the isolation of going it truly alone
