From TRINITY UNITED METHODIST CHURCH
In Bowling Green, six churches will come together on Sunday, Oct. 4, to bless pets, pictures of pets, and stuffed animals. The community is invited to join the churches for a joyful community celebration featuring a blessing of the animals, family activities, pet-themed art opportunities, free ice cream for humans and their furry companions, and more.
Local nonprofits who support animal welfare have been invited – including shelters, therapy organizations, and the police department – to share their work and needs with the Bowling Green community. A silent auction will be held, and items will be collected that have been requested by the Wood County Humane Society. The mission of the event is to support the humane society through monetary gifts and donations of pet food, toys, and cleaning supplies.
To support the humane society, items can be purchased directly from its Amazon wish list. Items in need are KMR, kitten pate, bleach, and clumping litter.
A local veterinarian will also be present to offer healthy-pet checks.
All dogs must be on leashes – one animal per handler. All other animals must remain in carriers, containers, or cages.
The event will take place at Needle Hall in City Park on Sunday, Oct. 4, from 2-4 p.m. For questions, contact Trinity United Methodist Church at 419‑353‑9031.
