Golden Inspired by Omie
When an older adult can no longer keep their dog
A move, a health change, or a death should not leave a loved dog without a plan. Golden Paw Match helps families place a healthy, senior-friendly dog with another older adult who wants a companion. Dogs can be any age.
Inspired by Omie and the companionship a dog can bring. Senior people are our focus.
Helping a parent? Nurses, social workers, hospice, funeral homes, and vets can send a private note. Nothing is published until the family verifies their email.

If you meet this situation at work, do not send the family to Craigslist. Send us a short handoff. We reply. We do not take custody of the pet.

- Describe the dog honestly. Health, training, energy, and comfort with older adults — including what you do not know.
- Verify your email to publish. Contact details stay private. Interested seniors message you in the account.
- You choose the home. Meet, talk about care, and mark the listing rehomed when you are ready. Golden Paw Match does not approve adoptions.
Built around senior people
Our focus is healthy dogs who are comfortable with older adults. Dogs of any age may fit. Families helping seniors, other responsible adopters, and cat caregivers are welcome too.
Pet details are reported by caregivers or shelters. Golden Paw Match does not verify health, temperament, or adopters, and a listing is not a placement guarantee.
