Murphy is as sweet as can be.
Woof! I’m Murphy, and I’m such a snuggle bug that the first time I nudge you with my nose so you can hug me close, you’ll be in love with me. I’m a wonderful shepherd/collie mix that was left to die at a local shelter, but Young at Heart rescued me in the nick of time, and now I am enjoying fluffy beds, romps in the yard, and lots of love in my foster home. I am such a good boy, I’m an instant companion! Just add love! Now, before I tell you my age, you have to promise not to judge me. After all, I would never judge you! Ok, here goes… I’m 12. Not 12 months old, but 12-years-young. Now wait! Before you stop reading, let me tell you something – there is nothing like providing a sweet dog like me the best love he’s ever known in the …

Fluffy feline patiently waits for family.
Hi, I’m Abbey and I am one beautiful girl who knows what she wants and I want to find my forever family. I am a 10-year-old healthy kitty who really enjoys human companionship and, while I might do well with another quiet kitty, I would love to be the only kitty in your home so that I can have you all to myself. I’m a girl of discerning taste and much prefer canned food to dry, but I will dance and sing for you while my meal is being prepared. I am beautiful and very sweet, and enjoy the quieter side of life. I would be an excellent companion for a single adult, an adult family, or a retired person or couple. I am a volunteer favorite at Young at Heart Pet Rescue’s cat and people always tell me how beautiful I am! My pictures do not …

Tiny Chihuahua awaits a new family.
Hi! I’m Jerry, and I’m an 11-year-old doe-eyed Chihuahua who is fun and full of life! Now, those who are Chihuahua lovers know about “Being a Chihuahua.” I can put on my tough guy facade, but underneath I am a marshmallow who LOVES more than ANYTHING to be petted and snuggle next to you. My favorite place to sit during the day (when there’s no one available for snuggling) is on the very top of the couch so I can keep track of everything that’s happening and make believe I’m King of the Mountain. I do like walks, but I’m not too crazy about colder weather, and will need a little wardrobe of sweaters to wear outside. My foster Mom says that walking me is like walking a feather. I will bark at the doorbell or new arrivals, but generally I’…

Beautiful kitty is looking for fun.
Hi There! I’m Grace and I’m so excited to tell you what a great kitty I am. I am absolutely adorable, super friendly and I’m 11 years young. Did I tell you I love to talk and will greet you at your front door when you come home to tell you all about my day? Did I also mention that I love to play, play, play? Well, string toys are my favorite things to jump for, along with catnip toys, crinkle balls and anything else I can find to play with – I am just such a happy girl. And, when it’s quiet time, I would love to sit with you and snuggle. I am a volunteer favorite at Young at Heart Pet Rescue’s cat center and all comment on what a fun kitty I am. Can you believe my previous people gave me up because they thought I was too much work? …

Meet Young at Heart’s Pet of the Week
Hey there, I’m Artie and I’m one laid-back guy… I haven’t met a human or fellow kitty that isn’t my friend! I have very simple needs. I just want to be loved and give love. And, you must admit, I’m one of the cutest kitties you’ve ever seen, right? I am a spry 7-years-old male domestic shorthair, and all I want in life is a forever family to bring me home to a happily ever after. The one thing I do ask is that my forever family be dog-free, as I am so scared of dogs. Please come visit me and you’ll see what a great little guy I am. I enjoy the company of other kitties and all the volunteers at Young at Heart Pet Rescue. I’m a volunteer favorite! I’m very charming and absolutely love to snuggle and peek out the windows from the cat trees …

Calm and trusty husky mix seeks home.
Hi there! I’m Precious, a gorgeous 8-9 year old lab/husky mix that is as beautiful as I am sweet! I was surrendered to a pound after my dad passed away and the adult kids kicked me out of the house they inherited. It made me so sad, as I loved them as much as I loved my dad. Thankfully, Young at Heart saved me from being put down, and now I am ready to find someone who will love me whole-heartedly like my dad used to. I am a really great, beautiful girl who loves life and everyone I meet. I really enjoy other dogs’ company, and would love if my new home had another canine pal for me (though I’d be ok by myself, too). I am very affectionate, walk well on a leash, and I loooove my walkies! I’m very laid back and calm, and enjoy a slower-…

Sweet 9-year-old dog for Adoption.
WANTED: A forever family to love me, a comfy bed to sleep on and a life where I never again have to know what it’s like to live on the streets. Hi there, I’m Annette and I was found lost and alone roaming the streets, which is no place for a wonderful 9-year-old senior like me. I am one of the sweetest girls around – I am a calm, quiet, and gentle Lab/Keeshond mix who is shy at first, but once I get to know you a bit, it’s all belly rubs and snuggling up to you. In fact, I think that I’m a lap dog!! While my life on the streets has made me a little protective of my food, I am great with other dogs, housebroken and I love walks. I just want someone to snuggle with, could that be you? I’ll wait here patiently until you come to take me …

12-year-old Basset Hound Mix for Adoption.
Hi! I’m Blackie, a 12-year-old Bassador (that’s Basset hound/Labrador, in case you were wondering!), and I am a fun dog stuffed into a short package! I am a great dog in every way – housebroken, good with dogs and with cats, gentle and trustworthy, and very very sweet! I ended up at the pound when my owner’s health failed, and I was so lucky to become a part of Young at Heart’s program! I love to be with you and keep you company, and really enjoy anything you want to do. The ONLY thing I really, really don’t like is if you touch my feet. But I enjoy walks and car rides and nap time and play time and…. well, just about everything else! What I really need now is a family to call my own. I’d love a family with another dog or cat, and …

Sweet and smart shephered mix needs a friend.
Hi! I’m Daytona, and I am a very smart boy! You know-- “shepherd smart!” And I am looking for a home that can appreciate and take advantage of the shepherd mind. I’m the kind of dog that you can be a partner with. I’ve had professional training, because my former owner didn’t understand shepherds, and I had to learn some manners and respect. Let me tell you, I LOVED training! It was so fun to be challenged like that, learning new things and working as my ancestors did. And I would love a home that can challenge me and put me to work all the time! And, I come with a free in-home training session so that you and I can start off on the same page! But I would excel at other sorts of training – especially scent training! I am one of the…

10-year old All American Dog is ready to bring you joy.
Hi there! It’s me, Millie! If you’re looking for happiness and daily smiles, you should seriously consider adopting me. I think you’ll find that I am a hoot! I am frisky and funny, yet I mellow out and curl up really small in a bed. I love attention, but am not demanding of it, I love to be petted and talked to, but am not needy. I am housebroken, walk nicely on a leash, and will take a treat oh-so-politely out of your hand. I am great with other dogs and want to play, and so thoroughly enjoy having a best four-legged buddy that I really want a home with another dog. At 25 pounds, I’m the perfect size for any home! Now, you may ask what my breed is, and I like to answer, “All American Dog.” Perhaps you would call me a Heinz 57 or a…
