BLESSING OF THE PETS
September 27 / 10:30am
Outside at Armstrong Park, Three Rivers
Our annual Blessing of the Pets is coming up! Bring your furry, feathered, or scaly friends as we celebrate the companionship our pets. Bring a lawn chair and anything that makes you comfortable for the weather.
Along with this, we’ll be supporting two local animal rescue organizations—ReFURbished Pets of Southwestern MI and St. Joseph Animal Rescue in Centreville. Both organizations we’re help second-chance dogs have a shot at finding their forever homes.
Maybe you can bring a big bag of dog food. Maybe it’s a package of poop bags or some treats. Whatever you can give, you can be part of helping an animal get a second chance. There’s a donation list out on the hallway table if you’d like to take a look.
