6th Annual Month Long Pet Adoption Tour: Get Your Licks on Route 66
September 12-October 19, 2014
 
MARSING, ID – FIDO Friendly magazine presents the sixth annual month long pet adoption tour: Get Your Licks on Route 66!
 
Powered by Ford with media sponsor Animal Radio, the tour travels down America’s Favorite Highway from Los Angeles to Chicago, stopping at shelter’s along the way to support adoption events. In the first five years, the tour has helped place over 2,000 pets in to new forever homes.
 
“We are thrilled once again to be able to tour the Mother Road and help bring awareness to the plight of homeless pets,” said FIDO Friendly publisher, Susan Sims. “With Ford providing us a new 2015 Expedition, we are able to take our two rescue hounds, Jake and Junior along for the ride. Local doggie daycare hosts our boys while we work the event so at the end of the day, we pick up two tired and happy dogs and start all over the next day.”
 
The Get Your Licks On Route 66! Pet adoption tour travels through eight states and supports 17 adoption events. Sims adds, “We bring along our custom spinning wheel filled with sponsor supported prizes for attendees to spin and win with a $2.00 donation. All the monies raised that day are given to the shelter.”
 
Sims along with her husband Greg started the tour six years ago in an effort to make a difference in the lives of shelter pets. “It’s truly a labor of love and one we could not accomplish without the help of our generous sponsors,” says Sims. “ Six weeks on the road helping to save pets from being euthanized and educating people about the importance of adoption and spay and neutering is an experience I wish all pet lovers could have. To see how hard the volunteers work in bringing animals to the venues is truly amazing.”
 
This year’s Official Spokesperson is actress, best-selling author and animal lover Danica McKellar.  Danica, best known for her role as “Winnie Cooper” on The Wonder Years, was recently seen competing on Dancing With The Stars.  Danica will make a special appearance at the Los Angeles Shelter on Saturday September 13.  Join her at 14409 Van Owen Street, Van Nuys, California from 10am to 4pm.
