Charlie at the Pom Springs Hotel
Written by entrepreneur (and favorite relative of the story’s protagonist) Lara Eurdolian King, Charlie at the Pom Springs Hotel is a children’s book based on the real-life adoption of an elderly Pomeranian who was living in the lobby of the Palm Springs Hotel while waiting for a forever home.
Charlie became the 42nd dog to find a forever family at the glamorous retreat, thanks to the hotel’s pet adoption program.
As I get ready for bed that night, like every night, I look up at the stars and wish that my forever family would find me soon.

Since Charlie’s adoption, more than 100 other shelter dogs have “left” Palm Springs Hotel and into the lives of loving pet parents!
In addition to promoting pet adoption, the children’s book also helps create happy lives for homeless dogs and cats, as at least $1 from every sale is donated to support the organizations’ efforts animal protection and rescue.
