\"\"TYLER — The SPCA of East Texas is kicking off its first-ever Christmas Road Trip. According to a news release, the SPCA has been working with rescue groups in other states to place homeless dogs and puppies into forever homes. Last week, the agency was able to purchase its very own transport vehicle and will be pulling out for its first official run Tuesday around noon. With at least 16 puppies and 4 adult dogs in tow, the team will head to Connecticut to deliver the animals for Christmas. Three volunteers will take turns driving. All pets will be routinely walked, fed, and watered throughout the 26-hour trip. <\/p>\n

According to the release, northern states have more stringent pet ownership laws requiring pet owners to register and\/or microchip their pets as well as spay and neuter their pets to reduce unwanted litters and overpopulation. SPCA officials say these laws result in much lower euthanasia, virtually no stray dog population — and a higher demand for adoptable dogs and puppies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
