We just learned of the CANCELLATION of the annual Blessing of the Animals at Hope Lutheran Church due to the inclement weather arriving. We fully understand and appreciate the generosity of everyone at the church and the community for all their hard work already done as well as wanting to celebrate their own pets and help other pets in need.

YOU are all the actual blessing as a community of kindness, support and compassion. We still send our thanks.



YOUR Humane Society SPCA is so excited to once again attend HOPE Lutheran's 15th Annual Blessing of the Animals service at Hope Lutheran Church at 250 Avenida Los Angelos, the Villages, by Morse Blvd. & CR 466.

Registration begins at 8:30am. The service will start at 10:00am. No tickets are required! Everyone is welcome! Bring your furry friends for a morning filled with music, vendors, photo opportunities, and more! Hope's pastors will lead a special outdoor worship service to celebrate and bless our pets!

We will gratefully be accepting donations of food, blankets, towels, litter, and other pet supplies to benefit our shelter's animals. Many of our lovely animals will also be present for their special blessing and to meet interested adopters so come by our tent and find YOUR blessing! We'll have volunteer applications, pet themed merchandise and important pet safety info too!

All pets must be on a leash or in a carrier. Please make sure your pet is current on vaccinations.

Great event. Here's just one example of the beautiful animals that have attended in the past. (Not sure what breed dog that is. )
