Doggy Bag: Hotel Offers Guests Rescue Pups to Take Home

Dogs from a nearby rescue are greeting guests in the lobby of a North Carolina hotel—and going home with team. The Aloft hotel in Asheville has teamed up with a local rescue called Charlie's Angels. Already, 20 rescue dogs have left with their new family after encounters in the hotel's lobby. "Some dogs last an hour and a half. Some dogs last a little longer and it's just amazing," says Kim Smith who works at Charlie's Angels rescue. It's not an immediate adoption— potential dog owners have to go through an application process and waiting period to ensure the match is right.
