A dog rescue charity in south Wales saved 40 dogs in the middle of the night after they were surrendered unwanted by breeders. The huge group of dogs was made up of six newfoundland dogs, eight Labradors and lab crosses and 26 smaller breed dogs.
CEO of Many Tears Animal Rescue in Llanelli, Sylvia Van Atta, said the group of dogs came from breeders who either no longer wanted to breed the dogs, or couldn't sell them on. The rescue is now facing huge costs to care for the dogs, especially the larger breeds, due to the extra food and care that they require.
A video shared to their social media pages show the dogs being carried into the rescue at 2am on Saturday morning. The post said: "This morning at 2am while most of the country were sleeping, we were called in to welcome 40 new dogs, all hoping for a miracle. Amongst the new arrivals were 6 scared Newfoundlands, all in need of carrying."
