What do a Harley Davidson builder; former English bloke who brews his own beer; ex-military, extreme skier; and a 3rd degree black belt in karate have in common?
They are four friends from New Hampshire who give an extreme makeover to animal rescues in need across New England. They find the money, they find the manpower, and they find the means to do it. Why? Because it’s the right thing to do.
But, their next renovation will prove to be the biggest and most challenging yet.
It all started in 2009, when this group came together to renovate a barn in Epping, New Hampshire that saves horses from slaughter, abuse, and neglect. The barn was in rough shape. The roof was leaking and on the verge of collapse, there were no signs of running water or electricity out to the paddocks, the fencing was in shambles, and the volunteers were losing sleep over the amount of work that needed to be done on the facility with dwindling donations due to a down economy.
So, what did Project Pawsitive do? They used their tenured experience in carpentry, construction, electrical work, and project management to gain attention and rope in the help of one of the largest home supply stores in the country along with over 80 local volunteers and they got the job done. The result? Any awesome renovation, restored hope, and renewed faith. All in the matter of a week and to the tune of about $30,000.
They are now on their next mission to level and rebuild a greyhound rescue in Massachusetts that’s been running since the 1980’s. Their facility is beyond repair, but the heart of this rescue is the largest the team has seen yet. On a shoestring budget, this shelter takes in greyhounds that would have otherwise had an untimely death after being taken off racetracks around the nation. These volunteers go above and beyond and sacrifice their own monies to help create a better life for these beautiful animals.
This is set to be Project Pawsitive’s largest renovation to date with the cost around $60,000. With the spring renovation date quickly approaching, they are looking to build their presence to gain the support from New Englanders. Whether just a high-five, or a day on the renovation site, getting the word out about what Project Pawsitive does will help them live their dreams of helping shelters in need throughout New England and beyond.

Oh, my gosh…we need your help so badly…our rescue burned down in the '07 California Wildfires…we lost the residence, the big barn, the hay barn, all our equipment…we are still living in travel trailers after 4 years because saving, feeding and veterinary care are the priorities always.
