🌟DOG OF THE MONTH FOR OCTOBER🌟 🌟J U M B O🌟 Stunning blue and white JUMBO joined us on the 30th August 2023 and settled in well. JUMBO can be quite lively in his kennel but soon settles down when on his walk. He is a steady and super friendly boy who loves spending time with the volunteers, he also seems OK with smaller dogs he meets on his walks. On the smaller side for a male, we think JUMBO would like a home where he is the only dog in the household.

LUKE

HILARY

HILARY joined us on the 9th August. Hilary is on the larger size for female, is easy to walk and enjoys the company of the other greyhounds when out on her daily walks. She does react to smaller dogs she meets when out and about but we are hoping this behaviour will improve with help from our experienced walking volunteers.

GRACE

G R A C E GRACE arrived with her kennel mate DREAM on the 10th June 2023. Petite girl GRACE settled in well, being particularly fond of her bed! She loves her walks and doesn’t appear to react towards other breeds of dog she comes across, taking everything in her stride. GRACE was a little uncertain of loud noise including traffic noises when she first arrived. We're pleased to say she has much improved and now happily undertakes road walks with our volunteers.

BUDDY

Four year old BUDDY arrived with us on the 17th May.

BUDDY

Handsome BUDDY arrived with us on the 17th May and settled in well, taking no time to get used to his new surroundings. As he settled in we've found that BUDDY has a cheeky personality and he is always up to trying to steal toys off his kennel mate - Dodger! He is easy to walk but can sometimes be reactive towards other breeds of dogs he meets on his walks. However, this is something our volunteers are working on, and should lessen with the more exposure he has on his daily walks. BUDDY is a friendly lad and we are looking for an experienced adopter for him. Details of our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on our website www.makants.uk photo Shilpa Grewal, Fiona Hughes www.makants.uk Makants - Burns UK charity of the year 2022/23

DODGER

Handsome DODGER joined us on the 18th April 2023.

DODGER

*DODGER* Big lad DODGER joined us on the 18th April 2023. DODGER is a lovely, super friendly boy and he has settled in well. He does get a bit 'giddy' at first when it's walk time but that's pure excitement. He soon calms down and is a great lad to walk. DODGER is enjoying his time with us and is savouring all the new experiences he is having. He absolutely LOVES people and sometimes thinks he is a lap dog - he obviously doesn't realise his size but has lots of love to give.😍 DODGER is a confident lad who loves to play with toys in the paddock. He has also spent time in the enrichment room and settled down on the bed there quite happily to play with toys. DODGER is more than ready for a home of his own and, being quite a big lad, we are looking for an adopter who has experience of larger breeds. Details on our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on our website www.makants.uk photos: Shilpa Grewal, Siobhan Hoppley www.makants.uk

MAX

Three year old MAX joined us on the 15th March 2023 and this lad must have the craziest ears we've ever seen! MAX gets a bit giddy when it's walk time but soon settles down and enjoys his walks. He does however sometimes react to small dogs he comes across when out and about. photos Shilpa Grewal

WOOFY

WOOFY our dog of the month for JULY 2023 Four year old WOOFY joined us on the 22nd February 2023. He settled in well and soon became used to his new life, showing us what a lovely boy he is. WOOFY is easy to walk - he is not without his 'giddy' moments - but on the whole he's a steady lad who doesn't react to other breeds of dog when out on his daily walks. Despite his name 'WOOFY' is actually a very quiet dog! He has enjoyed trips to Starbucks with our walking volunteers and has taken the experiences completely in his stride. We believe WOOFY would be happy to live as an only dog and is more than ready for his forever home.

SURF (female)

*SURF - DOG OF THE MONTH FOR APRIL** SURF arrived with us on the 25th January 2023. This little girl, with her endearing white eyebrows, soon settled in well. SURF is a friendly girl but was reactive to other breeds when she first arrived, not having had any previous exposure to them. Our volunteers have spent time working with her on this and she will now walk past other breeds without any reaction. Described by Siobhan as 'very sweet' she can problem solve too - as the recent video of her with a Kong toy showed - and that's not something we can say for all greyhounds.😁 Details on our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on our website www.makants.uk photo Jo Maxwell, Shilpa Grewal www.makants.uk www.burnspet.co.uk Makants - Burns UK charity of the year 2022 #makantsgreyhounds #makants10years #makantsgreyhoundrescue #rescuedogs #greyhoundrescue #tyldesley #newarrival #surf #blackgreyhounds

CHIEF

CHIEF arrived with us on the 4th December and has already become a firm favourite of our volunteers. He is a gentle, quiet boy and is described by Siobhan as 'adorable'. CHIEF is great on the lead and is slowly getting used to other breeds of dog he meets when out on walks. We are looking for an adopter who has experience of larger dogs and who can be around at home at least initially to help CHIEF settle in.

LADDIE

Three year old LADDIE joined us on the 18th November. 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! He still doesn't like the scary floor on the way to his kennels though so has a special carpet made of towels to ensure his safe arrival! Recently Laddie has enjoyed time spent in our new enrichment (home from home) room. photo credit Shilpa Grewal, Jo Maxwell, Alex

Stunning blue brindle girl PIXIE arrived with us on the 17th October 2022.

Pixie has enjoyed visits to local cafes with our volunteers and has behaved well. Pixie can be reactive towards other dogs on occasions and this is something our volunteers are continuing to work on.

MILLIE

Three year old MILLIE arrived with us on the 15th August 2022

MILLIE

🌟 MILLIE🌟 Three year old ‘pocket rocket’ MILLIE arrived with us last Summer and settled in well. This girl may be small in stature but large in character and we know will make a lucky someone a wonderful companion. Millie has a zest for life and is interested in everything going on around her, she really doesn’t want to miss a thing! Siobhan describes her as 'so much fun' and 'just lovely'. She can also be described as ‘bonkers’ ‘an absolute goofball and ‘mad as a hatter’ according to our volunteers! While Millie enjoys being active she equally also loves lazing in her kennel and if anyone can provide some fuss - preferably while she's still in bed - even better! MILLIE does treat everyone she meets as though they are her very best friend, she certainly is a character and is just waiting for just the right match. Recently Millie has enjoyed several days out with our volunteers to give her experiences of the wider world. She does have a high prey drive and will need a home with owners who have previous dog experience, preferably of greyhounds, and who are willing to give her a fair amount of exercise. Any children must be older (10 plus) as smaller children could get knocked over if Millie gets a bit giddy.

TY

Lovely big lad TY arrived with us on the 5th February 2021. He settled in well and is a friendly lad who loves people.

TY

Lovely lad TY arrived with us on the 5th February 2021. He settled in well on the lead and is a very friendly lad who just loves people (adults). 😍 He is a big lad with the longest legs we've ever seen on a greyhound. On walks he can be a bit giddy and he's also very nosy! He is now known as the long legged leaner as he homes in for a 'lean' at every opportunity he gets. Ty is also described as a 'happy boy' by our volunteers and as 'one of the sweetest dogs ever' by Siobhan. He charms our female volunteers and loves nothing more than a roll in the grass on his daily walks. TY also loves water and always makes a bee line for any water on his daily walks. We are looking for someone with greyhound experience for TY as he can be reactive to other breeds of dog and some greyhounds too. We also believe TY could not live with young children. TY would be happy to be the only dog in the home or equally could live with a female greyhound. photo credits: Aleksandra Alex, Lisa Carter, Shilpa Grewal, Jo Maxwell
