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.

The service will be held in the Joyce Martin Education Center at the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley located on 374 W. Orange Show Road, San Bernardino. This event is free to attend. Drinking water for pets will be available. 

Participants are welcome to bring pet photos and mementos for sharing, as they celebrate, honor, and remember the precious animals that have blessed their lives with love and loyalty. Community members who cannot attend are also welcome to email messages to jhenderson@hssbv.org or post a message to the HSSBV Facebook page to be added to the Remembrance Board, which will be shared during the ceremony. For more information, please call (909) 386-1400 ext. 218.
