Animal rescue takes in 57 Labradors in one day
"We will continue to be there for dogs that need us and help all breeds of dogs" - Many Tears Animal Rescue.

The charity in Carmarthenshire has received a 'staggering' response to the puppies.

An animal rescue centre in Carmarthenshire, Wales, has taken in a whopping 57 Labrador puppies in one day for rehoming.

Many Tears, the animal rescue organisation, took in the puppies after their previous owner decided to stop training them as working service animals seeking illegal drugs as explosives. 

Sylvia Van Atta, owner of Many Tears, told WalesOnline: “They all came from somebody with a contract to look after dogs going to be trained as bomb or drug dogs. But they have decided not to continue with that.

“There are a lot of young dogs, and they all needed worming but they are well socialised. They had been bred for working and prepared to be service dogs.”

Sharing a video on social media of the dogs, the shelter said that the dogs are bouncy and playful, with plenty of wagging tails.

In a statement on Facebook, Many Tears said that the response to the puppies had been 'staggering' – with thousands of people offering to adopt one of the Labradors.

The rescue thanked supporters: “Thank you once again for supporting these beautiful pups, for your kind words and lovely gifts and to those who have come to play with them at the rescue.

“We will continue to be there for dogs that need us and help all breeds of dogs that need help.”
