Covid 19 Collie Santuary Home Application

An increasing number of families with pets are being affected by the Covid 19 Virus. NorCal Collie Rescue sees an increasing need for Sanctuary Foster homes throughout California because of this pandemic.  As a Sanctuary Foster home you are willing to bring in a collie that has a family unable to care for them due to the Covid 19 virus.  As such you will provide a temporary, loving home for these beautiful and gentle dogs until their owners have recovered.

If your application for fostering is accepted, then you will be asked to comply with the stipulations below. 

The NCR Covid 19 Collie Sanctuary Care Program is for collies whose owners are affected by Covid 19 Virus.  I understand that I will care for them until their owner recovers or are adopted.  Please review the following statements, then after you submit your Sanctuary Home Application you will be directed to this Statement to print out, initial and sign.

I understand that if safety protocols change, I will follow all safety instructions as provided by NCR and the CDC.
