Join the Journey: 17th Annual Get Your Licks on Route 66 Pet Adoption Tour
As summer fades, a heartfelt journey is about to begin, bringing joy not only to pups looking for forever homes but to animal lovers traversing America. The 17th Annual Get Your Licks on Route 66® Pet Adoption Tour, hosted by FIDO Friendly Magazine, sets off on a mission: to save and elevate the lives of shelter pets across the nation.
The Legacy of a Lifesaving Tour
Since its inception, the adoption tour has successfully placed over 20,000 pets into loving homes. Each year, the tour travels along the historic Route 66, stopping at various shelters to organize adoption events filled with enthusiasm, compassion, and hope. The stops not only connect shelter pets with potential adopters but also engage local communities in the importance of pet adoption.

For dog owners who love to travel, this event is a perfect combination of treasuring time with furry companions and contributing to a greater cause. If you're considering hitting the road with your dog, there are essential tips and checklists that can help ensure a smooth trip. From familiarizing your dog with travel crates to packing the right gear — including portable water bowls and safety leashes — proper preparation is key.
