The staff at Guardian Animal Aftercare recognizes the unconditional
love and loyalty our pets share with us. We hold that bond
as a sacred trust.
Our mission is to provide compassionate and dignified aftercare
services that will enable your family to work through their
bereavement and to better heal. Our commitment allows an everlasting
memorial to all companion animals and their families.
It is also our mission to improve the environment we live
in by eliminating the use of landfills and rendering plants
as alternatives to cremations.
GAA was founded in 2001 by Dr. Audra Sykes MacCorkle, a veterinarian
who specializes in holistic medicine and has
been serving the Los Angeles and surrounding areas for the
past 8 years. Dr. MacCorkle through her experiences recognized
the need for a higher level of service, quality and compassionate
aftercare for the loss of a loved pet.
GAA provides dignified cremation for all animals and grief
support for families throughout this emotionally difficult
time. Veterinarians Without Borders, a sister company to GAA
is a nonprofit foundation which supplies funding for a variety
of projects that provide veterinary services for those with
a significant financial need. A portion of the proceeds from
each GAA cremation will be donated to Veterinarians Without
Borders.
We are very proud of our dedicated and professional staff
who are trained to assist you in making the proper arrangements
for your beloved pet. It is our intention that you view your
experience with us as an essential component of your healing
process.
