Joe’s Doors Helps Feed Hungry Dogs This Christmas at Many Tears Animal Rescue

🐶🎄 Helping keep tails wagging this Christmas

When you spot a Joe’s Doors lorry on the road, it’s usually on its way to transform someone’s kitchen.
But on a grey December morning, one of our lorries left Neath with a very different destination and a very different cargo.

This time, we joined James and Michelle from the team on the road to Many Tears Animal Rescue near Llanelli, Carmarthenshire – with the lorry packed full of dog food instead of doors and worktops.

Our Christmas donation will help feed many hungry dogs over the festive period, easing some of the pressure on a rescue that works tirelessly all year round.

Who Are Many Tears Animal Rescue?

Many Tears Animal Rescue is a busy, independent rescue centre based just outside Llanelli. They take in dogs from all sorts of backgrounds:

• Ex-breeding dogs who have never known life as a pet
• Strays who’ve found themselves with nowhere to go
• Much-loved dogs whose owners, for many different reasons, can no longer keep them

The team provides vet care, warmth, safety and time for each dog to recover and learn to trust again, before carefully matching them with loving new homes. It’s emotional work, done with huge compassion – and it never really stops.

A Different Kind of Delivery

For this visit, our lorry wasn’t carrying quartz overlays or replacement doors. Instead, it was loaded with boxes of dog food wrapped with bright red ribbons, ready to be unloaded at the rescue.

When James and Michelle arrived at Many Tears, they were welcomed by the team and shown around the site:

• Rows of kennels with hopeful faces peering out
• Exercise areas where nervous dogs slowly build confidence
• Indoor spaces where older and more vulnerable dogs can stay warm and cosy

Seeing it all in person really brought home just how many mouths there are to feed every single day.

Our donation will help feed many dogs over Christmas, keeping bowls full and tails wagging at a time of year when food bills and running costs can be particularly challenging for rescues.
