AL

No cats D.O.B. 4.8.22 Handsome 3.5 year old AL arrived with us on the 9th May 2026. AL loves to see the volunteer walkers and walks well on the lead. He is interested to see there are other breeds of dog on his walks but doesn't react negatively towards them. He has shown he is a confident, friendly and affectionate boy who also enjoys spending time in the enrichment (home from home) room playing with toys. AL doesn't like to miss out and loves to be involved in everything that's going on! He could live in a home with another female hound or would be equally happy as an only dog. We think AL would prefer to live with older children, 10 years plus.

TED

*No cats* OK with larger breeds of dog D.O.B. 3.21 5 year old TED arrived with us on the 9th May 2026. Ted has settled in well and is showing us what a gentle and loving boy he is! He walks well on the lead and isn't bothered by the traffic and is described by Siobhan as a 'lovely boy'. He has already enjoyed time spent in the enrichment (home from home) room playing with toys. He's also seen a washing machine for the first time too! TED could live as an only hound or would be equally happy to live with another female hound. With his friendly laid back personality we think TED would make a great hound for the first time greyhound owner too. Photos Sharon Middling, Lisa M, Shilpa Grewal

YOGI

YOGI

*No cats* D.O.B. February 2022 4 year YOGI joined us on the 23rd April 2026. A timid boy he walks well on the lead when out on his walks. He is settling in well and coming out of his shell, gaining confidence each day. He loves to play with toys in our enrichment (home from home) room and is quite a nosey boy, loving to see everything that's going on! We believe YOGI could live with another confident large breed female dog or would be equally happy to be the only hound in a home. We would expect a prospective adopter to spend some time building up a relationship with Yogi while he is at kennels prior to being adopted. We also think YOGI would prefer to live with older children, 14 years plus. photos Shilpa Grewal, Alana Ord

ALICE

6 year old ALICE joined us in September 2025.

ALICE

No cats - No small dogs - D.O.B. 24.9.19 6 year old Alice joined us in September 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 character, is full of personality and doesn't want to miss a thing. She especially loves toys and to pinch them off other greyhounds if possible! Alice is a very affectionate girl with all our volunteers and also loves to spend time with the other greyhounds. She has already spent some time in our enrichment (home from home) room which she fully inspected, enjoyed playing with toys, but 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. We feel Alice would be best suited to live with older children 13 plus. Details of our homing requirements, along with an application form, can be found on www.makants.uk photos Shilpa Grewal, Sharon Middling, Peter Williams

EXPRESS

Seven year old EXPRESS arrived with us on the 12th November 2024.

EXPRESS

No cats - No small dogs - D.O.B. 7.3.19 Seven year old 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, Bex Rimmington

REGGIE

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

REGGIE

No cats - No small dogs - D.O.B. 5.1.20 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, Jackie McKenzie www.makants.uk

LADDIE

Six year old LADDIE joined us on the 18th November 2022.

LADDIE

No cats - No small dogs - ADULT ONLY HOME - D.O.B. 10.9.19 Six 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. photo credit Shilpa Grewal, Alex, Jo Maxwell
