Sylvia & Bill VanAtta bought their home in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire over 13 years ago and started Many Tears Animal Rescue from there.  Although they take dogs from all kinds of situations, Many Tears was primarily set up to rescue ex-breeding dogs who have never known love or lived in a home. Very often these dogs have never seen the outside world and their first glimpse of daylight and sunshine is the day they are rescued.

The rescue has grown hugely since it first opened and now homes around 3,500 dogs a year, many of whom would not be alive today if Many Tears had not taken them in. The dog's rehabilitation starts from the day they arrive and lots of them experience their first taste of home life in one of the many brilliant foster homes we have on our books. This is really their first step in experiencing what life in a home as a pet is like and they start to realise that they are safe, that hands can be kind and hearts loving

The medical costs and food are astronomical in keeping Many Tears running. Today they are in need of your help to keep this place alive. Please find it in your heart to donate just a little towards keeping this brilliant rescue home open. Thank you
