Hi there! My name is Katie, and if you look closely into my beautiful blue eyes and you will see how much you want to take me home.  I am a healthy 11-year-old Siamese mix kitty who is very sweet and just wants a lap to snuggle in. I came to Young at Heart after I was surrendered to a local shelter because my family’s landlord found out about me and now I just want life to get back to normal.  I’m not used to living with other kitties, so I’m not too sure of them. I would prefer to be your only pet but if you have one other quiet cat, I might do just fine. Please come visit me in person and…

    My name is Baby, and my story is unfortunately a common story with older pets that end up in shelters.   When my owner passed away, I was left alone and scared in my house all alone. A neighbor picked me up from my home and took me to a shelter, where I was going to be put down just because of my age! Thankfully, Young at Heart Pet Rescue came to my aid, and now I’m safe and sound in their care while I wait for a new family to love.   I’m a 12-years-young Petite Muted Calico, but you’d never know my age based on my looks! I’m great with other cats and came to Young at Heart with my …

    Hi! I’m Hershey! I’m a beautiful 9-year-old cocker spaniel mix, and I am as sweet of a treat as my name implies! I’m such a good boy! I am great with other dogs, ignore cats, am housebroken and very playful. I walk well on a leash and will gently take treats from your hand.   I bond very quickly with my people, and am soooo happy to be with you! If you’ve ever wanted to feel like a rock star, the greeting you get from me when you come home will certainly make you feel like one! I love belly rubs and anything that has to do with being loved.   I’m such an adorable dog, and I can’t wait to …

  Hi! I’m Daytona 500! Yep, that is the world’s Most Awesome Name, given to me, the 500th senior pet rescued by Young at Heart Pet Rescue!   Yessir, 500 is a big number when you’re talking about senior pets saved, and I couldn’t be more proud to be the big 5-0-0!   You see, being an 8-year-old shepherd/collie mix at a shelter where they have to euthanize for space, I was “numero uno” in line for a very sad ending. But Young at Heart just couldn’t leave an awesome dog like me behind, and so, I found myself on a car ride to a new life! And now I wait patiently for a forever family, one that …

    I’m Clementine, and I can’t wait to be your darling! I’m an 8-1/2-years-young, long-haired calico who simply adores people. I’ve been known to stand up to greet you the first time you say "hello," and if you talk to me and pet me, I’ll talk back to make sure you know how much I appreciate the affection.   Yes, I enjoy a good conversation. I’ll softly chat you up when I’m looking for attention (which is often). A long-haired lady like myself needs a bit of maintenance, so it’s a good thing I enjoy being brushed. Just like at the beauty parlor, I’ll chatter away while you’re tending to my …

  ‘Scuze me. Would you mind scooching over a bit? I’d like to snuggle up next to you on the couch please!   I’m T-Bone, but my friends like to call me Mr. T, and I am a very cute, very active 9-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, who loves loves loves life!   I am a funny little guy, and I take my patrolling duties seriously – squirrels, rabbits, and birds better not land in my yard! I love snuggling and giving kisses, though if you’re new to me, I’ll be a little shy at first, but don’t take it personally.   I’m a very smart boy, and I enjoy a good game of roll the treat ball. Just watch! I’m …

  Dear Santa,   My name is Mia, and my foster mom put these stupid antlers on me because she thinks that it’s cute and people will like it. I’m giving her my best grouchy look, but she knows how sweet I am, so she just laughs. I’m not laughing, Santa. But, if it will help find me a forever home, especially in time for the holidays, well, I guess I’ll play along. But I won’t smile.   I’m an adorable and sweet little 10-year-old butterball who loves to be loved. I love being the Princess and I have aptly been dubbed “Princess Mia” in my foster home, so a home that wants to continue to recognize…

  13 years ago, I was a ball of string-capturing, feather-pouncing energy when my owner adopted me as a kitten. They named me Emily, and I grew up knowing the love and companionship of a kind guardian.   But a few months ago, something changed. Everything in our house was packed up into cardboard boxes, and I kept trying to snuggle up in one, too, but my owner would shoo me away and put more household items into it instead. When the moving van showed up, I was put into my carrier, and I was waiting to begin our next adventure together. Instead, I was dropped off at the shelter much like I had…

  Hey there, I’m Foxy the beagle! Although my face and ears are whitish, I am a young senior girl at only 7 years old. I am mature for my age while still enjoying playtime with you and other dogs. My previous family, which included two young kids, had something they called financial problems and had to take me to a shelter in hopes I’d be able to quickly find a new home. Young At Heart came along and with one sweet look, I convinced them to rescue me, so I know I can work my way into your heart in no time!   I admit I do love a treat and was given a few too many in the past that have me …

    Well, hello there! Hi! So nice to see you! I’m Milhouse, and I am a fantastic 7-year-old kitty up for adoption with Young at Heart Pet Rescue! I am as sweet as pie and love to rub affectionately against your legs when you come into the room. After all, I was raised to always show the people you love just how much you love them! You’ll learn quickly that I’m a lover, not a fighter, so I get along well with all the other kitties at the adoption center, including the “hissy-pants” kitties that get a little grumpy with other cats. I just walk away from those silly cats. I’m very handsome and …

    Looking for a four-legged family member? Look no further! I’m Nala, and if you’re looking for a true family companion, then I’m your girl!   I’m a beautiful collie/lab mix, and I am fantastic in every way possible! I’m 9 years old, and like the saying goes, I’m “aged to perfection!” I’m gentle with kids of all ages, enjoy other dogs’ company, and even get along with kitties. I really relish walks around the neighborhood and exploring all the good scents in the backyard. I love being the co-pilot in the car, too! I am housebroken and very easy going, but have just enough pep and fun to be …

    Hi there, folks! It’s Me! Rihanna! And if I do say so myself, I’m quite a good-looking girl! And if you don’t mind a little kitty flirting, then you and I will get along famously.   I am about 8-years-old, and a complete sweetie pie. I am relatively mellow and friendly, and I just adore TLC. Yes, I am a love hog and a flirt, I will admit. I can’t help it if a beauty like me enjoys to be told just how beautiful I am! I also enjoy snuggling up with you, being brushed, playtime, and whatever other sort of love you would like to bestow upon me! And you won’t be able to resist petting my …

    Hi, I’m June! I am your new fluffy, friendly, loving, faithful, loyal, new best friend!   I am “user friendly”- when you want a dog to pet, there I am, and you don’t have to reach down. I am housebroken, trustworthy in the house, and love the car. I am perfectly sized so that your hand naturally falls to pet my soft back. I have about 12 years of experience at being perfect. Either way, I’m ready for my new home and a new family to love!   I love kids and am good with them. I’m good with other dogs, and I don’t seem to care about cats. Oh, and here is another great thing about me- I am …

  Hi there! I’m Elmo, an adorable Schnoodle that will steal your heart in a minute!   What’s a Schnoodle, you ask? A Schnauzer mixed with Poodle! Fun, right?! I am so incredibly sweet and loving, and I just adore people! I’m housebroken and trustworthy in the house while you’re gone, and I get along with other dogs.   Even though I’m a little guy, I’m not the kind of guy who wants to be carried around all the time. I actually prefer using my own four feet, unlike a lot of little dogs. So I’m a great pal for older folks who like to go for leisurely walks, and want company in the house, but don…

    I keep hearing people who visit the adoption center talking about how they love their kitties. No matter how much I crawl into their lap while they’re talking and purr and rub my head against them, I can’t seem to get them to understand that I want a family, too!   I’m Chloe, and I am an 8-year-old Calico cat who is up for adoption through Young at Heart Pet Rescue. I’ve been waiting for a home for over a year now, and no matter how gorgeous I am, it seems that people think that calico cats have attitude. Ok, ok, I guess from time to time I do “speak” my mind, but I can’t help it if I am …

    Hi there! I’m Marli, the World’s Best Dog! Now, those of you who know labs probably say that about us in general, but I’m telling you the Dog’s honest truth! I’m awesome!   I’m an 8-10 year old beauty, whose smile is infectious, if I do say so myself! I am such a happy girl, and I love everyone I meet. Why waste time holding grudges or being suspicious of people? Life’s too short! Instead, I make sure everyone is a good friend!   I get along with both dogs and cats, and love kids of all ages. I’m 110% housebroken, great in the car, and looooove to play ball. I mean, what’s a lab without a…

    There’s nothing worse than losing your way in the wintertime, especially when you are an older indoor kitty with no claws!   I’m Percy, a beautiful and very sweet little kitty. Whether I lost my way or was purposefully dumped outside, the good Samaritans that let me stay in their garage while they tried to find my family literally saved my life. But after several days went by, and no one could find my owner, I was picked up by Animal Control, where my future became uncertain.   Several rescue groups were contacted, but not many can help a kitty my age. Though I’m a healthy 10-year-old, …

    Hi, I’m Sunny! And it is always a sunny day when I am around!   I am the epitome of that old saying “Age is just a number” – I act much younger than my 12 years. I am happy, smiling, cheerful, and get along well with everyone.  And as Husky lovers will tell you, my “woo woo” will win you over!   I was dumped in an open-admission shelter where I was languishing away until Young at Heart saved me! I went to a foster home where I get along with all the other dogs, and enjoy the yard and all the good outdoors smells. I used to be a city dog so I am used to cars and streets, and walk very well…

    When you think of pets, do you think of family? Do you think “forever”? Then you are the family for me!   I’m Smokey, a beautiful and friendly 12-year old Chartreux cat. My beautiful thick smokey grey coat and my gold eyes are enough to make you stop to pet me. But when you hear that my owner “traveled too much” to keep a low-key cat like me, you’ll know why I’m looking for a homebody to love me from here on out and I hope you’ll want to take me home!   When my owner put me in my cat carrier, I thought it was just a trip to the vet’s office. I didn’t understand why suddenly I was in a …

    Well hi there, folks! I’m Venus, the one who loves tennis balls, and this is my son, Zeke. I’m 12 years old, and he’s 11 years old, and we have been together Zeke’s entire life. You would think a couple of dogs like us would spend our golden years lounging around with our “parents,” but alas, it was not meant to be.   See, our “mom” passed away, leaving our “dad” with just us for company. But without mom’s social security checks, dad couldn’t keep up with the mortgage on the house, and he eventually was foreclosed on. And despite wanting to take us with, he could not find a single place …
