The 10th annual Blessing of the Animals will take place at Bellaire United Methodist Church Sat., Oct. 16, 1-3 p.m. At this fun, family-friendly and pet-friendly event, people of all faiths are invited to bring their dogs, cats, hamsters, fish or other pets to receive an individual blessing from one of Bellaire UMC's pastors. Plus, pets will receive a free digital photo of that special moment from Nikky LaWell Photography. You can also visit with local pet experts and pet businesses, and you can check out the adorable adoptable pets brought by six pet rescue organizations.  

All pets should be friendly and either on a leash (dogs), in protective carriers (cats), cages (birds, small mammals), fish bowls, or terrariums (amphibians, reptiles).
