Penelope's Place the Sanctuary

Penelope's Place is a 501c3, Non- Profit Animal Rescue and Sanctuary. It was inspired by the rescue of Penelope, the chicken. This sanctuary is her legacy. Penelope's Place is currently located in Akron, NY and serves as a respite to rescued animals. Co-founders Vanessa and Steven Dawson began Penelope's Place in Brooklyn, NY and moved to the Buffalo area to be able to expand the sanctuary beyond the confines of city living. A larger space increased their ability to take in more animals. Penelope's Place is a vegan sanctuary and operates fully under those values. The animals will never be used for their eggs or meat and we also serve as a place of education about living a compassionate life towards all beings.
