Blessings for Animals at Lakeview Terrace Pet Fair

“2024 Pet Resource Fair Provides Low-Cost Vaccines, Free Microchipping, and Blessing Ceremony for Pets”

The 2024 Pet Resource Fair in Lakeview Terrace was a huge success, with dozens of dogs, cats, horses, and even a pet goat receiving low-cost vaccines and free microchipping. The event, hosted by LA City Councilwoman Monica Rodriguez, also featured a blessing ceremony for the animals, highlighting the importance of responsible pet ownership.

Pet owners like Evelyn Gonzalez and Carlos Perez attended the fair to ensure the safety of their beloved pets. “We came for the microchipping – it’s such a good benefit for the community,” said Gonzalez. “Now if [Lulu or Panda] ever get out and end up getting lost, they can find them and contact us.”

The Blessing of the Animals ceremony, a tradition in Los Angeles since the 1930s, added a spiritual element to the event. Rev. Sergio Hidalgo conducted the blessings, emphasizing the importance of pets as companions in people’s lives.

Attendees like Tara Roth appreciated the affordable vaccinations and microchipping offered at the fair. “I think offering this event is perfect for our community, because there are a lot of people who have low income or limited resources who have pets that they love, so this is great,” she said.

Overall, the 2024 Pet Resource Fair was a heartwarming and beneficial event for both pets and their owners, promoting the health and safety of animals in the community.
