Bracelets at Blessing of the Animals (Tucson)

New bracelets!

Originally uploaded by Greyt Escape

C’mon down or up to the Foothills, specifically St. Francis in the Foothills Church on Saturday, April 4 from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. for a free event.

Not only will your pet be blessed but there will be the Humane Society, vendors, demonstrations, food, and bracelets.

Buy a one-of-a-kind beaded bracelet and help pay the $14,300 vet bill for a hit and run accident sustained by Opal and Rider greyhounds.

Mercifully, the vet bill is almost paid. Bracelets cost only $20 and one size fits all and they all come with a sterling silver fob — greyhound or paw print.

It’s a sentimental gift with lots of bling.

The church is located on the NW corner of Swan and River Roads.
