Coastal hotels donate to local humane societies

Hallmark Resorts, a Spot reader fav for coastal getaways, is now donating a portion of proceeds from pet fees to Oregon Coast rescue organizations.  Both the Lincoln and Clatsop County Animal Shelters will receive five percent of monies received from pet fees at Hallmark’s Newport and Cannon Beach resort locations.  “We see the love and care that our customers bestow on their pets when they stay with us, but unfortunately not every animal receives this kind of support.  Therefore, we make this gesture on behalf of our customers who value their pets as members of their family,” says Kirby Blankenship, vp of operations for Hallmark Inns Resorts.  

The resort has been pet-friendly since it opened its doors 60 years ago.  Dogs receive their own sheet and towel, a custom water bottle for trips to the beach, a frisbee and treats.  The resorts also offer wash-down stations and pet exercise areas.  Learn more at HallmarkInns.com.
