ASRI / Positive Options

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.).
