Penny's Wish

Penny's Wish is a very small rescue group dedicated to the many homeless and abandoned animals in the Greater Kansas City Area. All of our animals come from high kill shelters or are found abandoned and alone. "Penny" whom our foster home is dedicated to, was our very first rescue pet. She lived originally with a family who left her alone for weeks on end to fend for herself. She often went for days without food and drank from the toilet for water because they left her little else. When they were tired of her they took her to their vet and paid to have her euthanized. Penny was so sweet and gentle, that she kissed and rubbed on the technician when she tried to put her down and who could do that? Penny was blessed and instead of euthanasia she was placed at a wonderful place called " The Pet Connection Inc." where we adopted her in 2002. Sadly, her hard life took a toll on her and we lost her in 2006 because her body was never able to fully recover from the malnutrition she suffered. Anyone who met her fell in love with her. She stole our hearts and created a strong dedication to animal rescue in our household. And it would be "Penny's Wish" for all animals to have a chance to find loving forever home.
