Picture this: You come to Bentonville for a visit. You reserve a room at 21c Museum Hotel downtown, where culture, cuisine, and camaraderie are all within easy walking distance. You spend the day working or exploring or hanging out with friends, and then evening comes. Suddenly, yawning before you, are several long, solitary hours before bedtime.
Wouldn't it be great if you could check out an adoptable dog and bring them to the hotel to stay with you overnight? No more lonely hours, just fun, furry company to walk the trails, hang out on the square, or just snuggle up with to watch movies.
Well, you can! It's true. If you are a guest at 21c Museum Hotel, you can now arrange to pick up an adorable adoptable dog from the Best Friends Pet Resource Center right here in Bentonville, then bring your pooch to the hotel and hang out together all night long. Best Friends provides everything you need, including food, toys, a blanket, bowls, and treats. The hotel will even waive the pet fee! All you have to provide is the belly rubs and ear scratches. Sign up here.
The next day, you just bring your sleepover buddy back to the Pet Resource Center (if you can bear to part with them), get a paw shake or a sloppy goodbye kiss, and go on your way. (Be sure to get a cup of coffee and a vegan treat from Third Space Coffee, the independently owned, vegan coffee shop located inside the center before you go.)
And if you fall in love with your slumber party buddy? No problem! Best Friends' adoption team can make it official right on the spot, and you can bring love home to stay.
Local insider tip: You can check out an adoptable dog for a day or overnight right here at home, too! Just sign up online for a Dog Day Out. You can take a dog out on an adventure or an overnight! Sign up here: bfas.org/nwasleepover.
