Hotel for Dogs
No stray gets turned away.
Directed by Thor Freudenthal
Produced by DreamWorks Pictures, Nickelodeon Movies
A heartwarming family comedy about orphaned siblings creating a sanctuary for abandoned dogs, built on themes of belonging and found family.
Placed in a foster home that doesn't allow pets, 16-year-old Andi and her younger brother, Bruce, turn an abandoned hotel into a home for their dog. Soon other strays arrive, and the hotel becomes a haven for every orphaned canine in town. But the kids have to do some quick thinking to keep the cops off their tails.
