About this shelter

Young At Heart Pet Rescue in Palatine, IL

Young At Heart Pet Rescue is a rescue organization based in Palatine, Illinois, in Cook County, roughly 5 miles northeast of Chicago, where it operates alongside 70 other animal shelters and rescues in the county. The organization's mission is to give senior dogs and cats a safe haven so they can live out their golden years with comfort, compassion, and companionship, rescuing homeless senior pets from situations where their age puts them at the greatest risk of euthanasia. It operates a cage-free adoption center designed to feel like a home rather than a shelter, complete with a catio for cats and home-like living spaces for dogs, and it places pets into adoptive homes or, for less adoptable animals, into its Sanctuary Program. An on-site veterinary clinic, the Foglia Senior Pet Veterinary Center, provides bloodwork, dental care, surgery, X-rays, ultrasounds, and other services directly to the rescue's senior pets.
