About Our Rescue Group
Animal Shelter Renovation, Inc. (ASRI) is the business name of our organization that is raising funds to build a no-kill shelter in Western Massachusetts. Founded in 2007, this 501 (c) (3) charitable organization has raised over $80,000 towards achieving this goal.
Positive Options Rescue and Pet Food Bank was developed in 2008 in response to the staggering amount of animals abandoned and surrendered due to the declining economy. Our first goal, the pet food bank, is to provide access to pet food through local human food banks. Without a physical location of our own this is the best way for us to help keep pets with their families Positive Options Rescue is a network of foster homes dedicated to rescuing and rehoming pets surrendered due to home foreclosure or home downsizing (house to apartment, move in with family) severe financial hardship due to job loss or medical issue and relocation due to medical or other life altering condition (nursing home, hospitalization, etc.). Come Meet our Pets
Our cat and kitten meet and greets are conducted on the first and third Sundays of the month at Petco, 25 Hazard Avenue, Enfield, CT.
Our dogs are shown by appointment only either in their foster homes or at a training center. Our Adoption Process
Potential adopters must complete an adoption application prior to meeting our pets. There are no fees for completing the application. Potential adopters must be over 18 years of age.
We request an $85 donation for cats and kittens, this donation includes wellness exam, FIV/FLV testing, all vaccinations and alteration. We ask for a $150 donation for dogs adopted through our rescue. This donation covers all testing, wellness exam, vaccinations and alteration. Adoption forms may be downloaded from our website. Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group. |
