HULA Animal Rescue is a small registered charity that has been helping animals and their owners since 1972.
HULA was founded by a concerned vet, his wife and other animal lovers, because a lady brought her young puppy into their veterinary surgery and asked for it to be put down “as I’m going on holiday and can’t afford to put the dog in kennels”.
At that time, there were no animal rescue centres in Bedfordshire. The vet refused and Blackie became the first rescued animal.
So HULA was started in a back garden in Luton, but due to the rapid increase in the numbers of animals needing help moved to its current site in Aspley, Guise, in 1978 after many days and months fundraising.
HULA takes in unwanted and abandoned small animal pets (cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs etc.) for re-homing, but also rescues large animals and has goats, pigs, 3 ponies, chickens, ducks, geese and sheep as well as two very lively cows (1 x steer and 1 x heifer to be strictly correct) who will stay with us for the rest of their lives.
