Animal shelter surprised after 57 cute Labrador puppies arrive in just one week

An animal rescue centre is seeking "busy" homes after welcoming 57 energetic Labrador puppies in just one week.

The pups arrived all at once at Many Tears Animal Rescue in Carmarthenshire, Wales after being destined to become working service animals seeking illegal drugs and explosives.

The "busy, happy and friendly dogs" now need new homes and the rescue centre is seeking owners who can keep up with the energetic pooches, Wales Online reports.

Many tears owner Sylvia Van Atta said: "They all came from somebody with a contract to look after dogs going to be trained as bomb or drug dogs.

"But they have decided not to continue with that.

"There are a lot of young dogs, and they all needed worming but they are well socialised.

"They had been bred for working and prepared to be service dogs.

"They are busy, happy and friendly dogs and any home needs to be a busy family. They are dogs that want to be doing something.

"They are bred for their brains and they are very agile. So they are ok to be pets, but they need someone who will throw balls, who will stimulate them.

"They are not dogs who will be happy to just sit by the fire all the time".

All the dogs need to be vaccinated, wormed and spayed/neutered if they are old enough.

Many Tears is also inviting people to contribute towards the cost of their care.

Anyone wanting to meet the labs can do so during the centre's showarounds on weekdays at midday, and at 11am on weekends.

They will all be available for adoption at the Many Tears website.
