Nova COVID Foster Network
We’re connecting anyone in the Northern Virginia area who is in need of temporary help with their pets during the novel coronavirus pandemic.
From patients to first-responders and critical workers we can help connect you with people willing to assist.
Whether you need help or are willing to lend a hand as a foster, we want to hear from you! - [email protected].
NOVA COVID Foster Network (NCFN) – Volunteers trying to place animals in temporary homes.
Rescues & Owners (R&Os) – All animal rescue organizations & owners trying to find temporary care for animals in need.
Fosters – Person or family interested in providing a safe and loving temporary home for an animal.
*NFCN* Establish a page to network the foster animals in Northern Virginia.
*NFCN* Create database of foster applicants and their videos, to be maintained by NCFN volunteers. Initially, the database will be maintained offline by our volunteers; when the need arises, we can move it to an online platform.
*R&Os* Participating rescues/shelters, please advertise this group on their pages and encourage those interested in fostering to like the NOVA COVID Foster Network page.
*Fosters* Potential fosters and interested foster families can follow the FB page for posts about an animal they think would do well in their home. It will be up to the foster to contact the rescue/owner to express interest in the animal.
*Fosters* Potential fosters can pre-qualify by submitting an application along with a video of the family and the home environment.
*NFCN* Designated volunteers will handle the pre-qualification and add to NOVA COVID Foster Network Database.
*R&Os* If a Rescue or Owner needs a temporary home for their animal(s), they will post on the FB page. The post will include 2-3 pictures of the animal, and information about the animal, including, but not limited to age, s*x, altered, vaccine info, health issues, medications list, restrictions, temperament, etc.
*NFCN* NCFN will update the database and monitor the page for interest and respond to comments and questions from the public when possible.
*R&Os* Participating rescues, shelters and owners will be responsible for approving the home their animal goes into. NFCN might be able to help on a case by case basis.
*R&Os* Vet care, food, transportation is all up to each individual rescue/owner and their procedures. NFCN is only helping with networking. We are not responsible for transportation, supplies or vet care for the animal. We will, however, help when we can.
*R&Os* Once a rescue/owner has secured a foster, the rescue will notify the network.
*NFCN* NCFN will update the page and database.
*R&Os* Rescues and owners will be responsible to follow up with foster to ensure animal has resources and vet care that he or she needs.
