The National Animal Rescue and Sheltering Coalition (NARSC) has released animal sheltering guidance geared toward emergency planners and operations personnel to inform them of potential COVID-19 impacts to emergency animal sheltering. It identifies ways in which COVID-19 will likely create personnel shortages at emergency animal shelters and offers strategies to fill those gaps. It also provides detailed information on how to create COVID-19modifications to regular emergency shelter operations in order to mitigate the risk of spreading the disease. Additionally, the guidance contains a checklist entitled “COVID-19 Adaptions to Emergency Animal Sheltering”, a job description for “Animal Care Monitor at a Cohabitated Shelter”, which is accompanied by the “Animal Care Monitor Checklist for Cohabitated Shelter Operations”.  You can download the guidance here.
