For nurses, social workers, facilities, vets, and funeral homes

When a resident or client can no longer keep their dog

Golden Paw Match helps families place a healthy, senior-friendly dog with another older adult. You send a short note. We reply from support@goldenpawmatch.com. This does not publish a listing or share the family’s contact details publicly.

1. You meet the family in person. A move, a health change, or a death is when this comes up — not a Google search.
2. Send us the situation. Facility name, your work email, city, and what you know about the dog.
3. We follow up with the family. They decide whether to list. They choose the new home. We are a matching tool, not a shelter.

Do not include medical records, Social Security numbers, or other people’s private information we do not need. A first name for the pet and a general situation is enough.

The situation

Pet’s name (optional) What should we know? I have permission to request a follow-up, or I am the family. I understand this is not a public listing and Golden Paw Match does not take custody of the pet.
