THANK YOU!
Thanks to you, Young at Heart is making a difference in the lives of senior pets that find themselves homeless. Founded in 2005, close to 700 senior dogs and cats have found loving homes through our organization. With an average age of 10 years, these dogs and cats are considered “too old” for most other humane organizations, but at Young at Heart, we don’t believe that any pet is ever “too old” – rather, they have simply been aged to perfection! Young at Heart is the only organization in the state of Illinois dedicated exclusively to rescuing and rehoming senior dogs and cats. We work tirelessly to save the lives of senior pets that have ended up on “death row” in shelters throughout the state and place them into loving homes. Supported by advocates for senior pets like you, Young at Heart receives no taxpayer funds from local, state, or federal government agencies. We save more senior pets’ lives than any other humane organization in the state, and have become the “go to” for shelters and individuals seeking help in placing senior dogs and cats. While it is often believed that older animals have little to give and for only a short period of time, Young at Heart and our wonderful supporters believe the opposite. Thank you for joining us tonight and for believing that Love Has No Age Limit.™ To learn more about Young at Heart, visit us at www.adoptaseniorpet.com.
Providing top notch geriatric care to Young at Heart’s rescued senior dogs and cats since 2008, Arlington Heights Animal Hospital is proud to be a sponsor at this year’s Wags to Wishes benefit. Best Wishes for a successful night! Let’s save more senior pets! Dr. Darin Flaska DVM & Dr. Anita Kuhnle DVM New Owners ~ Arlington Heights Animal Hospital

Silent Auction Rules
1.
Times of closing of Silent auction tables are listed at the tables themselves. Additional announcements as to closing times will be made by the auctioneer throughout the evening. CLOSING TIMES ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE THE EVENING OF THE AUCTION. ANY ANNOUNCEMENT MADE BY THE AUCTIONEER WILL SUPERSEDE THIS PRINTED NOTICE. 2. Every item in the Silent Auction is listed in the electronic tablets on the table. Persons desiring to bid, do so by inputting their bid number and bid amount in the tablet. A Guaranteed Purchase/"Own it Now" price may also be available on some or all items. A bid number may be entered next to the guaranteed purchase price and that item automatically goes to that bidder. 3. Announcements for the silent auction closing will begin at least 15 minutes prior to each section being closed. The auctioneer, or an authorized Auction official, will close the sections as they see fit. At that time, all bidding will cease and the items will no longer be accessible on the tablets. 4. All decisions by the auctioneer are considered to be final. All discrepancies may be judged by the auctioneer, committee members and/or any representative the auction committee feels will settle a given dispute..

The Auction Committee has attempted to clearly catalogue and describe all items presented for sale. However, all items are sold in an "as-‐is" condition. This auction or the parties it represents in no way will be responsible for the correctness of description, genuineness, authorship or condition of items presented. No statement presented in this catalogue or made orally at the sale or elsewhere will be deemed such a warranty or assumption of liability. Values set on items for auction sale are estimates only, and are not warranted for tax purposes or fair market value.

The Auction Committee may make exceptions to this rule if they see fit. Bid numbers will be supplied to all paid guests when they register on the evening of the Auction. This number will serve as the purchaser's account number and bidding number. The Auction Committee reserves the right to withdraw items for sale prior to the call for bids for any reason it deems necessary. It is the responsibility of the purchaser to contact the donor for the services and/or merchandise purchased. Please do not ask donors to make substitutions, cash refunds, or changes of any Auction item.
