Join us at Animal Friends for our annual Blessing of the Animals! Once again, we will be honoring the animal-human bond in honor of the feast day of St. Francis, the patron saint of animals. We invite you to bring your pets for an individual blessing. Meet us at our Howard Ash Animal Wellness Center to receive your blessing – animal- and people-friendly pets of all shapes, sizes and species are welcome! Please bring a photo of pets who are more comfortable at home.
Please have all dogs on leashes (no flexis/retractable) and cats, rabbits and other small pets safely in a carrier.
