Join the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley in giving thanks and remembrance for animals on Thursday, October 4, 2018 at 5:45 p.m. (doors will open at 5:30 pm) with a service for the Blessing of the Animals.  The brief service will be followed by individual blessings of the animals.  It is highly encouraged to arrive between 5:30 and 5:45 pm.   

Bring your family and leash-trained or kenneled, non-aggressive 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. 

The service will be held in the Joyce Martin Education Center at the Humane Society of San Bernardino Valley (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.
