National Pet Adoption Tour Holds 14th Annual Event In Tulsa

A national pet adoption tour stopped Tulsa's Woodland Hills Mall on Sunday.

Get Your Licks on Route 66 travels from LA to Chicago every year, and this marks its 14th year in Tulsa.

The tour helps support adoption events and raises money for local animal shelters.

Organizers say fun events like this can make the adoption process easier for people who find being in an animal shelter environment as a sad experience.

"When you have fun and you're raising money and everybody's having a good time, I think it really helps shed light on the shelter pets, and it's a win-win really," said Susan Simms with Fido Friendly Magazine.

The tour says its 16,000 pets in forever homes.
