About HULA Animal Rescue

HULA Animal Rescue is a small registered charity that has been helping animals and their owners since 1972. The charity was originally called the Bedfordshire Home for Unwanted and Lost Animals, but as this was rather a mouthful quickly got shortened to HULA.
HULA was started 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. A decision was taken by the then committee to plough all raised funds into the welfare of the animals at the Sanctuary and not keep back any funds for maintenance and building. Most of the animal houses and portacabins that you see now have been donated over the years.
HULA takes in unwanted and abandoned small animal pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, gerbils, birds etc.) for re-homing, but also rescues large animals and has goats, pigs, Shetland ponies, chickens, ducks, geese, sheep a
