Many Tears Animal Rescue (MTAR) was set up in 2004 by Sylvia and Bill Van Atta in Carmarthenshire, South Wales. The organisation, originally a not-for-profit company, became a registered charity (No: 1192227) in 2020. Whilst we primarily take in and rehome ex-breeding dogs who are no longer required, those on "death row" in the pounds and those whose owners are no longer able to keep them, our doors are open to any animal needing our help and protection, hence if you visit the centre, you may also see a few cats and the odd horse and donkey.
With the help of our staff, and wide network of fosterers and other volunteers, we provide a safe and loving environment to help all our dogs adapt and find permanent, loving new homes. All potential adopters are interviewed and homes vetted and we do our utmost to find the right home for each dog. The rescue has grown considerably since it first opened and now homes in excess of 3,000 dogs a year.
MTAR provides all veterinary care and behavioural rehabilitation needed to deliver our Mission – to offer a safe haven for any animal in need, to treat them with respect and dignity, to love and care for them until the ideal home is found for them.
MTAR’s Board of Trustees currently consists of 5 Trustees and we are currently looking to welcome two more members into our existing team. We would particularly like to receive expressions of interest from people with the following skills sets:
· HR
· Legal
· Animal welfare / veterinary professionals
· Accounting / finances
We are a friendly, supportive team and if you have any of the above professional qualifications, we would love to hear from you if, like us, you would like to support the staff, volunteers and ourselves to continue to save lives and bring happiness to the animals in our care, as well as their adopters.
Please contact the Board of Trustees for further information, an informal discussion or to submit your application, detailing why you wish to join us and your areas of expertise and experience to:
We look forward to hearing from you.
