About Us
Penny's Pawfect Fix was started by our founder, Penelope Townsend, as a small community fund to assist those pet parents that need it most. Penny worked tirelessly to raise funds and spread education and resources to pet parents that need it most. In 2024, Penny gave that fund a name that we are known for today. In 2025, Penny's Pawfect Fix officially became a 501(c)(3) organization. While Penny has retired from the largest parts of rescue and the world of pets, her mission lives on with those that believe in her dream.
Our Mission
To alleviate the over-population of dogs in Mohave County through spay and neuter assistance for seniors, veterans and low-income families in Mohave County. The County animal shelter, and other private rescues, are beyond capacity and overwhelmed with more dogs than can be adopted out. While other area rescues help find temporary or permanent homes, our mission is solely to alleviate over-population so that dogs don't end up in the shelters in the first place.
