'Get Your Licks on Route 66' Tour
Summer is in full swing, the sun is shining and the weather is hotter than ever -- calling for one thing, a road trip. Most dogs would agree that summer is the perfect time to crack the windows and go for a drive!
The pet lovers at The North Shore Animal League America and FIDO Friendly Magazine hit the open road earlier this summer, but this wasn’t any old vacation. A national pet adoption tour, Get Your Licks on Route 66, traveled the entire length of Route 66, from California to Illinois. The tour focused on raising awareness of the plight of homeless pets, promoting and increasing pet adoption, as well as raising funds for animal shelters. Like any other road trip, there were many rest stops, food breaks, and cat naps!
The tour hit the open road and visited the following stops:
Date Local Shelter Partner City
6/6 City of LA Dept. of Animal Services Los Angeles, CA
6/10 Second Chance Center for Animals Flagstaff, AZ
6/13 Animal Humane Assoc. of New Mexico Albuquerque, NM
6/14 Santa Fe Animal Shelter& Humane Society Santa Fe, NM
6/17 Amarillo Panhandle Humane Society Amarillo, TX
6/20 Best friends of Pets Oklahoma City, OK
6/21 Animal Rescue Foundation Tulsa, OK
6/24 Joplin Humane Society Joplin, MO
6/27 APA of Missouri St. Louis, MO
6/28 Illinois Humane Springfield, IL
6/30 Kent County Humane Society Grand Rapids, MI
7/1 South Suburban Humane Society Chicago Heights, IL
Most importantly, the Get Your Licks on Route 66 focused on placing lovable pets into stable households. BISSELL, a Get Your Licks sponsor, understood that for many dogs and cats, this was a trip of a lifetime. A pet life was saved with each adoption into a permanent, loving home. We were glad to see many stop by and fall in love with a new furry friend!

Some really great content on here. Why hasn't it been updated in a while? The last post seems to be about a year ago.

The visit focused on raising awareness of the plight of homeless pets promotion, and the company's increasing adoption and raising funds for animal shelters. Like any road trip more, there were many rest stops, food breaks, and naps!
