ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Wearing a yellow vest with the words “adopt me,” a Chihuahua named Taco greets guests in the lobby of a boutique hotel.
The Aloft Asheville Downtown has partnered with a local animal shelter to showcase one dog at a time. Organizers hope that each dog will win the heart of a hotel guest and find a permanent home.
“When you go to a shelter and find multiple animals in the shelter, the six, eight or 10-year-old dog might be overlooked,” said Kim Smith, president of Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue. “But if you come to the hotel and you walk up to the reception desk and you see a single dog, your eye is on that single dog.”
Already pet-friendly, the hotel initially partnered with Charlie’s Angels back in August for a short-term community service project. But the program exceeded expectations.
