PAWS X Best Friends Animal Society

Sit. Stay. Love.

At Sonesta, we welcome pets of all stripes and spots to be our guest with our PAWS (Pets Are Welcome at Sonesta) program. Now we’re joining with Best Friends Animal Society® in its mission to save the lives of dogs and cats in America's shelters by 2025.

 

Paws and Best Friend Logo

 

Best Friends Animal Society is a leading animal welfare organization working to end the killing of dogs and cats in America’s shelters by 2025. Founded in 1984, Best Friends is a pioneer in the no-kill movement and has helped reduce the number of animals killed in shelters from an estimated 17 million per year to around 355,000. Best Friends runs lifesaving programs all across the country, as well as the nation’s largest no-kill animal sanctuary. Working collaboratively with a network of more than 3,900 animal welfare and shelter partners, and community members nationwide, Best Friends is working to Save Them All®️.

Best Friend Stories

Persephone

Persephone

Persephone had a rough start, arriving at Best Friends weak and malnourished. But with medical care and a fabulous foster mom who helped her heal and grow, she made it. Today, Persephone is a lip-kissing, mischievous little tyke who has a family who loves her!

Neville

Neville

It sometimes takes a village to get a dog ready for adoption. In Neville’s case, that took Best Friends, Paws for Life K9 Rescue (a prison training program) and an experienced foster mom. With a lot of help from his friends, Neville overcame his challenges and is now described as smart, curious and loving.

Petaluma & Jade

Petaluma & Jade

Petaluma and Jade became fast friends while both awaited surgery. This unexpected, “tri-pawed” pair taught us that regardless of how different we are, we can all make good friends.

Sonesta is committed to supporting Best Friends Animal Society’s® initiatives and their efforts to eradicate the problem of homeless pets, so you can feel good when you book a PAWS pet-friendly room with us. And because we walk the walk, we aim to inspire our team members and the community to get involved by volunteering at Best Friends’ network of animal welfare and shelter partners. We also encourage our hotels to dedicate space for pet adoptions to pair families with a new furry friend. It’s how we’re doing our part to help Best Friends achieve its mission to Save Them All®.
