Some cats nap by the fire. Percy? He investigates the universe. Curious, kooky, sweet, and just the right amount of trouble - his harness lets him safely explore and burn off that big personality. He’s a whole vibe… and he’s looking for a home of his own. 🏡🐾 📍Woodstock IL #adoptme

Just getting through the week like… 💙 Tundra (sanctuary pup)

Sweater weather gets pretty darn cute around here 🥰 Vinny & Lexi (adoptable pair) 📍Woodstock IL #adoptme #chihuahuasofbluesky

Frankie’s reminder: rest is productive. 💤

In times like these, kindness is never small. It always leaves a mark. 🐾❄️ Sunnier days are ahead.

Introducing our newest rescue, Jakey Fizzgig: part dog, part bat, part Disney sidekick, 100% baby. 🥹 This sweet senior boy is obsessed with belly rubs and attention. We are completely smitten. #lovehasnoagelimit #adoptaseniorpet

“It cold.” - Garfield 🧡

The Tundra Mobile is officially in service. 🚗 First ride = zero drama, maximum VIP energy. With a heated bed, and a cover for cold & windy days, the journey to his onsite water treadmill therapy just got much easier for this ol’ boy. He loves getting pulled around like the perfect prince he is. 👑🐾

Oh Margie. Sassy, cozy, and completely adored - and she absolutely owns it.

When the world feels heavy, Snow White suggests flipping things upside down and asking for belly rubs. 💛

Free hugs for anyone who needs one 💕 - Samson

Chester is really just a toddler in a lab mix’s body. #boxesarefun

11-year-old Samson was happy to step into the proper PPE and cover for our in-house veterinarian, Dr. Cassandra, while she enjoys some time off. He came highly recommended, with one reference saying, "Went to med school with him, he's super cool." 😎 That's all we needed to know.

Mealtime! 2 bowl styles, 5 foods (including 3 prescription diets), and 5 tiers of eating spots makes for 8 happy senior kitties. 😮‍💨❤️

Guess they like the heated bench seat 😅

As this year comes to a close, we just want to say thank you. Because of you, senior dogs and cats spent this year safe, cared for, and loved - not as an afterthought, but as a priority. Thank you for your compassion and for believing as we do that every senior pet deserves a soft place to land. ❤️

Summer brings snuggles, silliness, and lots of warm fuzzies to the chilliest days. 🥰 She loves chasing toys, zooming around with small dog friends, and then cuddling up for a snooze. She needs a patient family to help her with potty training - one who will love her like crazy! 📍Woodstock, IL

Wishing our incredible supporters a Merry Christmas filled with love, warmth, and wagging tails. Thank you for making second chances possible for senior pets. 🎄❤️🐶

😴 There is no sweeter feeling than being someone’s safe place.

Snow Day! Chester is loving it!!

Because of you, old dogs & cats find second chances and soft places to land: sunny spots on the floor, cozy beds for tired bones, gentle hands for well-earned naps, & love that promises, “You are home. You are safe. You are loved.” Thank you for being Young at Heart family. #grateful🧡🤎🧡
