Five Pennies Worldwide LLC is the company behind Hands2Paws and its animal-welfare initiatives, including Penelope’s Basket.

Hands2Paws was created to help people make more responsible, informed choices when bringing a dog into their lives — whether through a preservation breeder or rescue — while supporting education, animal welfare and responsible ownership.

Penelope’s Basket is a Hands2Paws initiative created in memory of Penelope, giving gently loved toys a new purpose by passing them on to shelter and rescue dogs.

Five Pennies Worldwide LLC was founded by Elizabeth J. Menegon, founder of Hands2Paws.
