SAN BERNARDINO>> Join the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley in giving thanks and remembrance for animals on Tuesday, October 4, 2017, at 5:45 p.m. with a service for the Blessing of the Animals. 

Bring your family and leash-trained or kenneled pet to a service led by Pastor Woody Hall. Animals of every kind are invited to this special ceremony. 

The service will feature prayer, readings, and music. Prayer will also be offered for the families of pets who have passed away, as well as all living animals.  By request, a blessing will be offered for each individual pet that attends.
