Why This Partnership Matters
Then You Are The Facility
Guardian Pet Trust Needs To Know
When families tour your facility, they're holding their breath waiting for the answer to one question: 'What happens to Mom's dog?' Most facilities have no real answer and it's the kind of answer that closes admissions.
As a GPT Partner, you join a growing national network of facilities that have a clear, compassionate answer ready. We do the heavy lifting — you get the credit, the admissions trust, and a meaningful resident benefit at zero cost.

The Problem We Solve Together
The Question Families Are Already Asking
Deserves a Real Answer
The Challenge You Face
Pet Ownership Is Costing You Admissions
Families researching facilities for a parent with a pet often walk away when they can't answer "what happens to the pet?" Most facilities have no answer — and lose the admission.
When a resident is hospitalized or passes, staff are left scrambling to find emergency care for their pet. It's emotionally taxing, time-consuming, and nobody's job.
Without a legal Pet Trust, beloved pets can end up surrendered to a shelter — creating grief for families at an already devastating time and reflecting poorly on your facility.
How We Help
A Formal Answer That Closes Admissions and Protects Your Residents
When families ask "what happens to Mom's dog?" you have a trusted nonprofit-backed answer that helps close admissions.
When a resident is hospitalized or passes, one call to GPT activates the full Care Team — Foster, Caretaker, and Trustee are already in place. Your staff focuses on the resident.
GPT presents Lunch & Learn sessions in your activity room, branded with your facility's name. Residents feel supported, families feel reassured, and your team looks proactive.
Are You Still Undecided?
Becoming a GPT Partner Will Impact Your Entire Community
When residents have a plan for their pets, families relax, your staff focuses on care, and your reputation as a facility that truly understands seniors grows. It's not 'what about the pet?' anymore — it's covered.
