Routed 66 Pet Adoption Drive

Since we live just a little over a mile from old Route 66 and we're certainly supportive of pet adoption, I just have to bark a bit about the Get Your Licks on Route 66 event.

For the fourth year in a row, Fido Friendly magazine is setting out on America's famous highway for a month long pet adoption tour.  The Get Your Licks on Route 66 Tour will raise awareness of the plight of homeless pets, vital services that participating animal shelter and rescue partners provide to their communities, and engage younger generations through humane education programs.

Victoria Stilwell from Animal Planet's series "Its Me or the Dog" is the official spokesperson and Animal Radio will be offered media support along the route where you can listen in to find a tour stop near you.

Get Your Licks on Route 66 travels the old highway between California and Chicago, Illinois.  It kicks off Saturday, October 6 and continues through Sunday, November 3, 2012.
