For every pet-friendly hotel room booked in December, $10 goes to the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies
Nov. 19, 2011 (Ottawa) – Think pets and hotels don’t go together? Think again! At dozens of pet-friendly hotels participating in Pacrim Hospitality’s Purrrfect Place to Paws program, guests can bring their furry friends along for the stay. As an added bonus, Pacrim Hospitality makes a donation to the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies (CFHS) for every night booked in participating hotels through the program.
For the month of December only, the value of that contribution will be doubled, with $10 going to the CFHS per night. Pacrim Hospitality will also waive the pet fee for guests staying at participating hotels in December.
“At Pacrim Hospitality we believe in giving back, and it makes it that much more special during the holiday season,” says Kris Crundwell, Vice President of Sales for Pacrim Hospitality.
Travellers with pets have over 50 participating hotels across North America to choose from, including several well-known chains. Each is outfitted with pet-friendly rooms, and guests are provided with pet treats on arrival.
Travellers can find participating hotels and make bookings by visiting www.purrrfectplacetopaws.com or calling toll free 1-877-672-PETS (7387).
“The contributions made to the CFHS through this program are helping us promote animal welfare across Canada,” says Lori Waller, communications coordinator for the CFHS. “We thank every traveller who supports our work by opting to stay in a Purrrfect Place to Paws pet-friendly hotel.”
