Other Ways to Help

Young at Heart is supported by big-hearted animal lovers that choose to help in many ways. Besides adopting, here are just some of the other ways you can help homeless senior pets!

Matching Gifts

Did you know that many companies offer matching gifts to their employees' favorite charities? Many companies, large or small, give back to their communities by matching donations made by their employees. Not sure if your company does that? Ask your HR department or the owner of the company. It's usually just a simple form that you fill out and send to us to complete.

Corporate Casual Days

Larger companies that require their employees to "dress up" may offer casual Fridays where employees can wear jeans or more casual clothing for a donation to a chosen charity. Many companies let their employees vote on the charities! Why not nominate and vote for Young at Heart? And if your company doesn't have charity casual days yet, why not suggest it?

Host Your Own Fundraiser!

Third-party events are such a great way to give back to senior pets that just need a second chance, and we are so grateful for this sort of support! Whether you'd like to host a backyard BBQ fundraiser, a lemonade stand, a benefit show, a donation drive, etc, we love your ideas and thank you for wanting to help senior dogs and cats in need!?
