POPPY

❤POPPY❤ Three and a half year old POPPY is fairly new to the rescue, having arrived with us on the 17th September. This lovely girl is settling in well, and on walks is gradually beginning to realise there are other breeds of dog in the world, apart from greyhounds! A friendly girl, she has already spent some time in the enrichment (home from home) and gave the room a good inspection before settling with some toys. At least one of our volunteers has already commented that she will make 'a lovely companion'.😍 Details of our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on our website www.makants.uk photos Shilpa Grewal, Sharon Middling

ALICE

6 year old ALICE is currently settling in and being assessed, more information to follow.

ALICE

ALICE Sept 2019 ❤ALICE❤ 6 year old Alice joined us last month and soon settled in. This lovely girl, even though she is six years of age, is very fit for her age and does look forward to her daily walks. Alice is a very affectionate girl with all our volunteers and also loves to spend time with the other greyhounds. Through her daily walks she is having exposure to other breeds of dog and this is something that she just needs a little more practice with. She has already spent some time in our enrichment (home from home) room which she fully inspected and was quite curious about the T.V. on the wall. For Alice we’re looking for a home with someone who has experience of larger dogs, but not necessarily greyhounds. We feel Alice would be happy to live as an only hound or could equally happily live with another male hound. She would benefit from the company of an adopter who is at home a large amount of time, and this is especially important during the initial settling in phase. Details of our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on www.makants.uk photos Shilpa Grewal, Sharon Middling, Jutta Payton

THOMAS

THOMAS D.O.B. 10.4.19 6 year old THOMAS joined us on the 5th July 2025 and has settled in well. Brindle and white THOMAS is a lovely and very affectionate lad. He's very quiet in kennels, so quiet you don't know you've got him. He is enjoying all the new experiences he is having, and has spent time in our enrichment (home from home) room too. Thomas really enjoyed a recent day out with one of our experienced volunteers and it seems she enjoyed the day too commenting 'he's going to make someone an amazing companion he's so adorable!' We think THOMAS would be happy to live as an only dog or equally could live with another larger breed dog too. photos Shilpa Grewal, Jane Hutchinson, Lisa M

TRIGGER

TRIGGER D.O.B. 3.3.22 Three year old TRIGGER joined us on the 26th May 2025 and soon settled in. He’s shown himself to be a friendly and very affectionate dog who just loves human company. He is easy to walk and is happy to meet other breeds of dog when he’s out and about. He loves to meet any visitors to kennels too and laps up all the affection! As well as his daily walks he is having new experiences such as spending time in our enrichment (home from home) and our onsite sensory garden too. He also recently enjoyed a day out to Rivington accompanied by our volunteer Lisa who said he was 'a pleasure to take out for a lovely day.' This big lad, described by Siobhan as a ‘lovely Big Friendly Giant’, we believe would be happy to be the only hound in a home. Details on our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on our website www.makants.uk photos Shilpa Grewal

CEE CEE

CEE CEE D.O.B. 1.12.18 Sweet 6.5 year old CEE CEE joined us on the 12th May 2025, having previously lived in a home. Cee Cee is such an affectionate girl who just loves to play with her toys. She particularly enjoys her time in the enrichment (home from home) room as there is always a large selection of toys to choose from! CEE CEE is always happy to see our walking volunteers, greeting them with a waggy tail. She walks well on the lead and doesn’t react to other breeds of dog she meets when out and about. We feel Cee Cee would be equally happy to live with another male hound or as the only hound in a household and would suit either a family or single person wishing to adopt. Cee Cee is more than ready for a loving home, could that be with you? If you're interested in offering CEE CEE a home you can find details on our homing requirements, along with an application form, on this link: https://makants.uk/adopt-foster/ photos Shilpa Grewal www.makants.uk

DUKE

Five year old DUKE joined us on 26th April 2025.

DUKE

DUKE D.O.B. 18.2.20 Five year old DUKE joined us on 26th April 2025. Having spent time in the enrichment room and had some interesting walks, he's already had many new experiences! He is enjoying his daily walks with our volunteers and is slowly getting used to other breeds of dog and is often excited to see them - in a positive way. DUKE recently enjoyed a day out with our volunteer Nick and visited Windy Bank Woods and Bents garden centre. They described him as 'walking so well on his lead, even when confronted by an angry terrier!' With a 'happy, go lucky' temperament, we've found DUKE absolutely loves playing with toys too! We feel DUKE could be homed on his own or would be equally happy to live with a female greyhound. photos Shilpa Grewal, Jackie McKenzie,

GARETH

5 year old GARETH arrived with us on the 10th March 2025.

GARETH

GARETH D.O.B. Oct 2020 4.5 year old GARETH arrived with us on the 10th March. He was a little timid at first but settled in after a couple of weeks. Now he is used to our routine he looks forward to walk time and also loves to receive as much fuss as possible from our volunteers. Gareth walks well on the lead and is fine when meeting other breeds of dog when out and about. Gareth has gained in confidence during his time with us, although by nature he can be a little cautious of new people and new situations. We feel that any prospective adopters will need to spend some time with Gareth and build up a trusting relationship prior to any adoption. Described by Siobhan as a 'handsome boy' he is an easy hound to care for and his playful side is beginning to show too. We are looking for an adopter with some experience of owning a dog, not necessarily a greyhound. Gareth could live with another large breed dog or would be equally as happy to be the only hound in the house. Details of our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on our website www.makants.uk photos Shilpa Grewal, Sharon Middling

DOLLY

DOLLY D.O.B. 14.7.21 Well, 'Hello Dolly'! Four year old DOLLY joined us on the 12th December 2024. An affectionate girl who is always happy to see any visitors greeting them with a waggy tail, DOLLY walks well on the lead and enjoys the company of the other greyhounds. She is slowly getting used to other breeds of dog she meets on her walks but walks well. DOLLY has already lived in a home for a short while before she came to us for homing. DOLLY has settled well with us and enjoys spending time in the enrichment (home from home) room, and although she loves our volunteers, can be strong willed at times thinking she's in charge! We are looking for a child free home for DOLLY and feel she would like to be the only dog in a household. Any adopter would also need to spend time at home with her, especially during the initial settling in period. Details of our homing requirements and an application form can be found on: www.makants.uk photo Shilpa Grewal, Sharon Middling

EXPRESS

EXPRESS arrived with us on the 12th November 2024.

EXPRESS

EXPRESS D.O.B. 7.3.19 DOG OF THE MONTH FOR SEPTEMBER 2025 EXPRESS arrived with us on the 12th November 2024 and settled in well. Initially he was a little wary and took some time to get to know our volunteers and routine, but soon started to relax. His confidence has continued to increase with each passing day. At the beginning Express was reactive towards other breeds of dog that he met on his daily walks. Through daily exposure - and guidance from our walking volunteers - his behaviour has changed and he can now walk past any breed of dog calmly. He also enjoys a fuss after his walk and has spent some time in our enrichment room with our volunteers. He particularly loves zooming around our sand paddock! Recently Express enjoyed some time away from kennels, walking in Worsley woods where he had new experiences including noisy trucks and workmen laying a new path. We're pleased to say he took everything in his stride and was particularly happy to meet one of our volunteers and her hounds while on their walk. We are grateful to our volunteers for enabling Express to have new experiences such as this, all of which is vital preparation for his new life as a pet. We are looking for a quiet home for Express with someone who has some greyhound/large dog experience. More details on our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on our website, www.makants.uk photos Shilpa Grewal, Miriam Payne, Sharon Middling

REGGIE

5 year old REGGIE joined us on the 6th April 2024.

REGGIE

REGGIE D.O.B. January 2020 REGGIE arrived with us in April 2024 and soon settled in. We’ve found him to be a friendly and affectionate boy who loves fuss and his toys in equal measure. He loves to meet any visitors to kennels and laps up the attention! He recently spent some time 'helping' our volunteer John in the sand paddock as he loves human company - and loves to see what's going on! REGGIE also likes his daily walks and can get excited initially when going out but soon settles down. His reactivity towards other breeds has really lessened now thanks to work undertaken by our walking volunteers. REGGIE is a very loving dog. We think he would be happy to live as an only dog as he would love nothing more than having all the humans to himself. We're looking for people with some experience of owning a large dog, not necessarily a greyhound, for him. More details on our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on our website www.makants.uk photo Shilpa Grewal, Jo Maxwell, Sharon Middling, Miriam Payne www.makants.uk

STORM

6 year old STORM arrived with us on the 8th November 2023.

STORM

STORM (Female) D.O.B. April 2019 6 year old STORM arrived with us on the 8th November 2023. On arrival STORM was very timid as everything was new to her. As she has settled in, and after being given some time, she has improved and is now making great progress gaining confidence day by day. This is in part thanks to the support of our volunteers and the new experiences they are able to offer her. However, STORM still remains anxious at times and can be sensitive to loud noises. STORM enjoys frequent trips out in a volunteers' car to a nearby area where she enjoys her walks and has had many new experiences - which she has coped well with. Storm travels well in the car and is not reactive to other breeds of dog she meets on her walks. She particularly enjoys spending time in water if she can, and also loves a good run around in our on site sand paddock. Siobhan describes Storm as a 'lovely, gentle soul'. She is happy and relaxed in her kennel and quite playful with volunteers she knows and trusts. We feel STORM would thrive in a home with at least one other dog for company and would gain confidence from following their lead. We are looking for a quiet home for Storm without small children as they make her anxious. Anyone interested in adopting Storm would need to spend considerable time at kennels getting to know her as part of the pre adoption process. We also feel Storm would also need someone at home for the initial ‘settling in’ period. Information on our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on our website www.makants.uk photos Shilpa Grewal, Sue Wraith, Anne Taberner

If you would like to find out more about STORM 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.

LADDIE

LADDIE D.O.B. September 2019 Five year old LADDIE joined us on the 18th November 2022. Described by Siobhan as a 'lovely gentle and friendly lad', LADDIE has settled in well. He loves a cuddle and gets on well with all our female greyhounds, but with male greyhounds he is a little more picky who he spends his time with. Laddie can be an anxious boy at times if he finds himself in a new situation but can be reassured by his regular walkers who he ABSOLUTELY loves. *We are looking for an ADULT ONLY HOME for Laddie.* Recently Laddie has enjoyed time spent in our sensory garden and also loves volunteers spending time with him after walks in his kennel (as these photos show) photo credit Shilpa Grewal, Alex, Jo Maxwell
