Big thanks to all the volunteers that help
out at our very busy weekend of fund raising and to the public that supported us. The weekend got started with the

will support Happy Staffie Rescue, Thanks all
PACK FOR CASH
Our thanks goes out to all the customers that allowed our volunteers to
pack their bags at the charity bag pack at Franche Rd Co-op superstore on Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th July. Even in the
middle of a credit crunch public support for us was huge as an amazing £387.82 was donated on Saturday and £383.60 on Sunday.
Thats a staggering £771.42 towards our future. 100% of all money raised at our bag pack and any other
event goes directly to building a happy future for Staffies in need in the Worcestershire area.

their whole weekend to help and did not get back home till 9pm in the evening. We would also like to thank all the very kind
