ARK (female)

Beautiful grey girl ARK arrived with us at the end of February and is settling in well. Ark recently had her official photoshoot and behaved so well, we think she is a supermodel in the making!

REG

This lad, our dog of the month for April, has already shown what a clever boy he is with his toilet routine, always asking to go out when he needs to. He has settled into Celine’s routine (she is working from home) and spends the time she is working just snoozing his life away! He did, however, barge his way into a conference call when he first landed, something which caused Celine’s colleagues much amusement! Reg likes his food, with sardines being a particular favourite, another favourite is playing ball in the garden. Reg loves nothing more than spending time in the evenings cuddling up and has shown he is an affectionate boy too. Reg so far has been the perfect house guest, sleeping through the night downstairs with no problems at all. On walks he does, however, find other breeds of dog a bit exciting and likes to bark at them. We hope that, with more exposure to other breeds, this will lessen as time goes on and Celine is working with him on this.

CHLOE

Gorgeous brindle girl CHLOE arrived with us on 9th January this year. Siobhan describes her as 'adorable' so we think she's a little smitten with her. Chloe loves the company of the other greyhounds on her walks and loves people too! Chloe can however be a little strong on the lead and would need to be the only dog in a household as she wants all the attention for herself!

DYLAN

FOSTER HOUND DYLAN – MAY 2020 Stunning sandy boy DYLAN arrived with us at the very end of last year. He has been lucky to enjoy several weeks of lockdown time and country walks with foster carer Vanessa. Vanessa says ‘Dylan is a stunning dog and has a very sweet personality to match. He loves his walks and walks well on the lead and does not react when he meets other breeds of dog. He has loved country walks taking in all the sights and sounds and has been happy equally with long or short walks.’ As would be expected Dylan did take a couple of weeks to settle into a home situation. However he relaxed and soon his playful personality started to show, it appears he absolutely loves tennis balls and a game of football too. On the rare trips out in the car Dylan was nervous about jumping in so had to be lifted in and out. We feel this is something that may improve with more time and practice. Dylan can be nervous in certain situations he is unsure of and is frightened of loud noises, especially when fireworks were let off locally. As with the majority of greyhounds Dylan also loves to sleep. However, unusually his favourite place is on the floor so any sofa space in his new home appears to be safe! We think Dylan would be suited to a home where there are older children due to his size and would ideally be best homed as an only dog.

TOM

*Update* 24.5.20 High energy hound TOM arrived with us back in kennels in November last year, and subsequently went into a foster home with Ann in February this year. Ann, a very experienced foster carer says Tom has to be one of the ‘ most energetic hounds’ she has ever come across! He certainly doesn’t live up to the long held belief that all greyhounds are ‘couch potatoes’ as Tom absolutely loves to be out and about. He has a two mile walk every morning and a shorter one in the evening and even then he would happily go out again! Tom behaves well on walks too when meeting other breeds of dog. This lad is also an intelligent boy (we can’t honestly say that for every greyhound we know!) and when in kennels became known as an escape artist, opening his own kennel and going around calling for his mates too! Great care would need to be taken by any prospective adopter to ensure that Tom is kept safe. Tom is great with his food and enjoys it almost as much as his walks. He’s an affectionate lad who, during his downtime, loves to be cuddled and kissed but who also likes to be kept occupied. He loves his toys and loves to play games in the house too. Tom is looking for someone who shares his love of walking and who can also provide a safe environment for him.

TAYLOR

FOSTER HOUND TAYLOR – UPDATED 24.5.20 Having arrived with us last November handsome boy TAYLOR is our dog of the month for May. He has been lucky to spend 11 weeks so far in foster care with Makants volunteer Julia and her adopted Makants hound Pheby. During this time Taylor has made great progress and has gone from walking on a harness to a collar as his walking etiquette has improved so much! He now no longer strains on the lead and is more relaxed on his daily walks. Taylor can still be reactive towards other dogs especially smaller breeds. However, during his time in foster care he has met many other breeds and has harmoniously spent time with a much smaller dog and seems to be learning how to behave around other dogs, often taking his cue from hound mate Pheby. As Taylor is a big dog and can be a bouncy lad, we are looking for an adopter who has experience of handling larger breeds. Julia reports that Taylor has been fine when left to go shopping and is now fully house trained. She also says that Taylor is a really affectionate boy who likes to be close to you and who loves his cuddles. We believe that, whilst he has now settled well with another dog, he would flourish as the only dog in a household. Taylor would need someone to be around the majority of the time too, at least for his settling in period.

HARRY

Updated: 24.5.20 Harry is now looking for his forever home. Sweet boy HARRY joined us in November last year and has been able to spend several weeks in a local foster home with Makants volunteer Celine. Initially Harry experienced separation anxiety and careful work by Celine ensured this lessened as each day progressed and Harry became more relaxed when on his own. He has progressed to feeling relaxed and confident spending the majority of the day on his own downstairs in her property and also spending night times on his own. However, it is difficult to give a true indication of his anxiety as Celine has been based at home for the majority of lockdown. Celine has been working on Harry’s walking etiquette while he has been living with her. Progress has been made and he has successfully met larger breeds of dog on regular occasions. He can still be reactive when he sees other dogs though, particularly smaller breeds. Harry is a loving lad and has a soft spot for the children he has met. He is sensitive and gentle and his favourite past time has been sunbathing on Celine’s lawn. He is not a morning hound though and prefers to start each day with a lie in! We are looking for someone who would be around for the majority of the day and who could help Harry with any separation issues. A prospective adopter would need to work with Harry on his behaviour too. Please note : CURRENT HOMING CRITERIA *We are now ONLY able to consider homings for those people who have already had a home check undertaken by our rescue (pre lockdown) or have had a home check in the past prior to adopting one of our greyhounds* OR *Have had and passed a home check in the past undertaken by a greyhound rescue that we are able to contact and verify with* If you feel you can meet Harry's needs and meet our current lockdown homing criteria you can contact either Sue our re-homing co-ordinator on 07794463249 or Siobhan at kennels on 07960561988 for further information.If you meet the above criteria but have not submitted a homing enquiry the form can be found here: http://makants.uk/adopt-foster/ www.makants.uk **PLEASE NOTE: OUR KENNELS REMAIN CLOSED TO VISITORS AND VOLUNTEERS**

ALFIE

Four year old Alfie has been with us since October last year and is a friendly and affectionate lad who loves to play ball. He loves people too and enjoys time spent with volunteers, especially if they spend time cuddling him in his kennel. Alfie walks well on the lead but can be a little strong at first due to his excitement at going for a walk. His behaviour has really calmed down now, thanks to the hard work of our walking volunteers and he is getting used to other breeds of dog. He is looking for a home with someone who has greyhound experience. We also feel Alfie would benefit from being in a home where there is someone around most of the day as he craves human affection.

If you would like to find out more about ALFIE featured here please contact either Sue our re-homing co-ordinator on 07794463249 or Siobhan at kennels on 07960561988. Alternatively you can complete our short homing questionnaire here, one of our team will then get back to you.

CHUCK

Chuck arrived with us in September 2019. This four year old boy is a friendly and affectionate lad, always ready with a waggy tail and one who absolutely loves cuddles. He has settled well at kennels and we feel he would be ideally placed with a female hound for company or could live on his own, and that he would enjoy spending time with children (5 years +).

If you would like to find out more about CHUCK featured here please contact either Sue our re-homing co-ordinator on 07794463249 or Siobhan at kennels on 07960561988. Alternatively you can complete our short homing questionnaire here, one of our team will then get back to you.

CHARLIE

Charlie arrived with us in May last year and settled in well. He gets on well with the other greyhounds and looks forward to his daily walks. In fact he does get very excited when it’s time for walkies! He does soon settle though and enjoys his walks treating each one as a new adventure. Charlie walks well on the lead and is very clean in his kennel. Siobhan describes Charlie as a ‘lovely dog’ and we feel he would love to be part of a family, involved in everything that is going on. Charlie still needs work getting used to smaller breeds of dog and our volunteers are working on this. Charlie would not be able to live with cats.

ROBBIE

Stunning brindle and white four year old kennel hound Robbie has been in our care since the summer of 2018. Robbie has recently successfully spent some time in a family home but has been returned to us due to family illness. Robbie settled well in the home, was able to be left during the day and enjoyed the company of children. Obviously we feel that Robbie would thrive being back in a home situation once again. He's a very friendly lad but is reactive towards other breeds of dog. However, he is a quick learner - and having mastered many commands while living in a home - we feel that with consistent training with an experienced owner his behaviour would soon improve. Robbie is very much a couch potato as you can tell from the photos. He would probably live with a female hound or would be equally as happy on his own.

HILLY

Hilly arrived with us in April last year and settled in well. He loves to watch the world go by and take everything in. He is a friendly young dog with lovely endearing puppy dog eyes. He put them to good use when he modelled our new dog coats and we think he secretly also loved all the attention! Hilly has enjoyed days out with our volunteers and loved jumping into their cars going on his adventures. He has been lucky to enjoy two sleepovers recently with a regular volunteer and showed what an affectionate boy he is. Hilly likes his daily walks but still struggles with meeting other breeds of dog, especially smaller breeds - something our walking volunteers are working on. We feel Hilly will need to be an only dog in the household and homed with someone who has hound experience. Hilly isn't cat friendly.

PATRICK

IIt’s hard to believe but our lovely long stay hound Patrick has been with us for over four years now, having arrived with us in the summer of 2015. He was an extremely nervous boy initially, especially around people. It was a major task even to coax him out of his kennel and Siobhan spent a great deal of time working with him to gain his trust. These days Pat loves cuddles from the people he has grown to know and trust. He allows regular volunteers into his kennel who love to give him fuss and, most importantly, treats! In fact, this shy lad has a big group of volunteers who take care of him, in effect we could say he has his own fan club! He gets on well with all the other kennel dogs, often enjoying their company walking alongside them and he is especially interested to meet all new female hounds! Although Pat's confidence has improved he can still be very wary of new people and certain everyday situations can make him very anxious. He would need a very special someone, a patient adopter who would take things slowly, and at his pace. Any prospective adopters would need to be prepared to make as many visits to kennels as is required, in order to build up a strong relationship with him prior to any re-homing. Pat classes kennels as his home and, as yet, we have not been able to find anyone who can meet his needs. In the meantime please be assured that he receives plenty of love and attention from our volunteers, many of who have grown very fond of him over the years.
