“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 SprinterRentals providing us a Mercedes Sprinter, 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 15 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 donated to the shelter.”
Sims along with her husband Greg started the tour seven 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.”
