GALLERY: STAFFIES ARE SOFTER THAN YOU THINK! GIVE A DOG A HOME

(Scroll down for gallery) Hula Animal Rescue will be fundraising at Sunday's (October 12) St Francis Open Day, but while raising essential money to support the animals currently in their care, they will also show some success stories. The Aspley Guise centre will host a Staffie 'happily rehomed' parade in the aftenoon – because 'staffies are softer than you think,' and this is the event to prove it. The parade of happy staffies and equally happy owners will begin at 2.30pm, followed by an animal blessing at 3pm. As is traditional at all Hula events, refreshments will be on sale and there will be plenty of opportunities to stock up on goodies at the bazaar. Entry to the event – which will welcome you between 1 and 4pm – is just £2 for adults, and accompanied children go free.
