How you can Help
Volunteerism
Navan Animal Rescue Corporation currently has a few volunteers giving us less than 10 hours a week. Volunteers help with the care and treatment of the animals, keeping the environment clean and safe, running errands such as picking up food and litter from suppliers, etc., helping to pick up abandoned animals and donations, helping to plan and execute fundraisers, office help, carpentry work, dog training, fence installation, just to name some of the bigger jobs.
Volunteer hours vary, however on average, we need a minimum of five volunteers on weekends doing various or specific jobs.
Fostering
We are seeking a few foster homes for our senior dogs until the modular home is completely up and running! Call us if you can take in on of our seniors today!
Fostering means taking a needy animal into your home for a specific amount of time. Generally, we look for a minimum 4 week commitment, sometimes more depending upon the needs of the animal as well as other circumstances. During those 4 weeks, we are actively seeking a permanent home for your foster animal. This includes running advertisements, website updates and networking. Foster families need to work with Navan Animal Rescue Corporation to help us more thoroughly evaluate the animal in their care (i.e. good with children? Afraid of cats? Food aggressive?) and be available with a reasonable lead time to show the animals if we have a potential adopter.
Foster animals come with enough food to last the duration of the foster period, a litter box or kennel, and a list of emergency numbers should you experience any health issue with the animal. Veterinary costs will only be approved by an authorized member of Navan Animal Rescue Corporation and we have excellent access to veterinarians after hours.
It is not the responsibility of the foster home to adopt our foster pet. Screening processes are in place and are done by a trained Navan Animal Rescue Corporation member. Of course, you may promote the animal within your care and we encourage you to speak about your foster animal to friends and family, but the final decision and responsibility rests with us.
