Our Mission

Young at Heart's mission is to provide senior dogs and cats with a safe haven to ensure they live with comfort, compassion, and companionship in their golden years. We save the lives of homeless senior dogs and cats from situations where their age puts them first in line to be euthanized. We find loving homes for adoptable senior pets and offer a peaceful sanctuary life for those that are less adoptable.

We Are A Cage-Free Rescue Facility That Feels Like Home

Our cageless state-of-the-art adoption center located in Woodstock, IL is designed to look and feel like a home. From the minute a senior dog or cat walks through our doors, they are provided with the best care possible until forever homes are found, either with a new loving family, or through our Sanctuary Program.

Cats can enjoy fresh air on an enclosed “catio” or enjoy climbing around the room before napping in a patch of sunshine.

Dogs can enjoy the comforts of home as they snooze on a couch, play in the backyard or go for a walk on one of our trails.

Our In-House Clinic Helps Provide Prompt Veterinary Care

The Foglia Senior Pet Veterinary Center located on site allows us to provide immediate high-quality, full-service care to our senior pets at our cost. Bloodwork, dentals, surgeries, X-rays, ultrasounds, cold laser therapy, and more can now be done right on site for our senior pets. It’s just a walk across the parking lot for our senior pets, making a trip to the vet not only more cost-effective, but less stressful for them, too.
