FOOD PANTRY:

If you are in need of pet food assistance, please contact Palatine or Lake Zurich Townships to learn more about their food pantry programs.
MEDIA RELATIONS:
For Media Relations, please contact us at media_relations@yahpetrescue.com.
ANIMAL INTAKE:
Young at Heart Pet Rescue does not accept pets from the public, as 100% of our rescued pets come from open-admission shelters where they are unnecessarily euthanized due to their age. If you are an open-admission shelter, pound, or animal control, please email intake@yahpetrescue.com with the pet’s location, information, photo and timeline for rescue. We are a very small organization, therefore we only rescue animals from within Illinois, and we will not be able to help them all. We will contact you if we have space at the time of your inquiry.
ANIMAL SURRENDER: Young at Heart Pet Rescue does not accept pets from the public, as 100% of our rescued pets come from open-admission shelters where they are unnecessarily euthanized due to their age. If you are a private party who needs to rehome a senior pet, we will courtesy list your pet on our website free for 60 days. Please email webmaster@yahpetrescue.com with a jpeg photo, animal info, and contact info. Young at Heart is not responsible for any courtesy listed pets.
