Overview
- Inspectors from Animal Licensing Wales, accompanied by Dyfed-Powys Police, visited the Cefneithin site on March 10 to retrieve paperwork and records.
- The inquiry was initiated following complaints from multiple adopters and a former employee about practices at the rescue.
- Reported allegations include vaccines not being refrigerated, puppies not being separated during transport, mass-produced vaccination cards, undisclosed health issues, inaccurate medical records, and weak pre-adoption checks.
- Many Tears says animals receive exceptional care, its transport is licensed with puppies separated from adults, and it rehomes dogs from large breeding establishments including some in Ireland.
- No animals were removed and no welfare concerns were raised during the visit, and ALW says it cannot provide further comment during the ongoing investigation.
