FRVN is building a new emergency-response capability to help protect animals, support first responders, and bring veterinary expertise to critical incidents when every minute matters.
Individuals and veterinary practices now have a limited opportunity to become part of FRVN’s Founders’ Circle — a special group of early supporters whose leadership will help launch this lifesaving network.
Founders’ Circle membership is available only to the first 100 people or practices who step forward. Each member will receive a custom-framed certificate to proudly display in recognition of their critical role in advancing animal safety, responder support, and emergency veterinary readiness.
Once these 100 Founders’ Circle spots are filled, this recognition opportunity will close.
Become a founding supporter today and help build the response system animals and first responders have been waiting for.
