Red Roof Partners with Canine Companions to Make a Difference
Red Roof®, a well-respected name in the lodging industry, is renewing its partnership with Canine Companions to bring a unique initiative called the Room In Your Heart® program to fruition. This program aims not only to offer discounts to travelers but also to support the vital cause of providing trained service dogs to individuals with disabilities. Canine Companions has been instrumental in this mission, offering expertly trained service dogs at no cost to those who need their help since its inception.
Discounts and Donations: A Win-Win for Travelers
As part of this collaboration, travelers booking a stay at participating locations, such as Red Roof Inn®, Red Roof PLUS+®, HomeTowne Studios by Red Roof®, or The Red Collection®, can enjoy up to a 15% discount on their stay. In addition, 5% of the total purchase price from their stay will be donated to Canine Companions to further their mission. This initiative offers a way for guests to contribute to a meaningful cause while enjoying a more affordable travel experience.
Support for a Growing Need

The Room In Your Heart program allows travelers to play a part in enhancing access to these life-changing service dogs while benefiting from their stay. The appreciation goes both ways, as Red Roof and its guests come together to create a ripple effect of support.
