DARRAGH

Darragh arrived with us on the 11th April and has made great progress.

DARRAGH

Darragh arrived with us on the 11th April. Now, we've never had a Darragh before so we looked it up. Apparently the name is derived from the Old Irish word 'daire' , which means oak. In Celtic mythology, Darragh also meant Dagda, the Celtic god of the underworld. It also means strength and perseverance. This lad has a lot to live up to! Initial assessments showed Darragh, while an affectionate hound, to be quite strong on the lead. However he has made good progress in this area with guidance from our volunteers on his daily walks. At first he was quite reactive to other breeds but now his behaviour is much improved and he can happily walk past other breeds. He had a day out with volunteers recently at Pennington Flash and was very well behaved. photos Shilpa Grewal, Sue Costello

He walks well with other greyhounds. photo credits Shilpa Grewal, Angela Jacklin

TY

Lovely lad TY arrived with us on the 5th February. He's already settled in, walks 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 too! We are looking for someone with greyhound experience for TY, and we believe TY would prefer a home without children. photo credits: Sue Costello, Aleksandra Alex, Lisa Carter

WINNIE (female)

Two year old WINNIE arrived with us on the 8th February. Winnie is now enjoying lots of new experiences in the big wide world. She's a very friendly and affectionate girl who loves people (adults). As Winnie loves humans so much we feel she would be best homed as an only hound so she can have the humans all to herself! Winnie can be very vocal when she sees other dogs off lead but we hope this will lessen with more exposure to them. We feel Winnie would prefer a home without children. **WINNIE was guest of honour at the Westhoughton Dog Park on 18.3.21 and officially opened the park with Siobhan. She had a wonderful time and enjoyed a great run! photo credits Sue Costello, Shilpa Grewal

FLASH

Stunning brindle and white boy FLASH arrived with us on the 15th December. Flash is a lovely, friendly lad but can be strong on the lead. Flash can also be reactive towards small dogs, however this is lessening the more experience he has of meeting them and his behaviour is certainly improving in this area. We are looking for someone who has greyhound experience for Flash. Flash recently enjoyed some time in the paddock, see photos below. He also, unusually for a greyhound, enjoys a good game of 'fetch'. photo credits, Shilpa Grewal

EVE

Eve came into our care last August having sustained an injury while racing.

EVE

Eve came into our care last August. She had sustained an injury while racing and, in order to recuperate, it was felt a home placement was the ideal place for her. She went into foster care in October last year with Anna Marie and Chris and their two sighthounds. Eve settled in the house from day one and was always able to let her carers know when she needed to be let out, being clean in the house day and night. Eve also soon found the toybox and it seems absolutely loves soft toys - especially if they squeak or honk! She loves pushing her nose into the toybox to find just the right one and takes them to bed with her too. Her foster carers tell us that Eve is ‘very affectionate and loves being stroked especially under her neck when she will stand and lay her head on you. She adores cuddles and tummy rubs, in fact all Eve wants to do is please you.’ Eve walks well on the lead but does get excited when she sees another dog especially if it’s a smaller breed. She is very inquisitive about them and so far, due to the current restrictions, her foster carers haven’t been able to socialise her with small breeds. However, they feel that, with the right introductions she could make good progress with her behaviour. Eve is currently able to walk for an hour without any problems, however we must advise that, due to her injury, she could not be let off her lead at any time. Her foster carers sum Eve up by saying ‘There is not a day that has gone by when Eve hasn't made us smile and laugh. Somebody is going to be very lucky to have this little lovebug in their life.’ photo credits: Chris Farrow

HARRY

Harry is looking for his forever home. Sweet boy Harry arrived with us in November 2019. During lockdown he spent time with foster carer Celine, for more details please see his full profile.

HARRY

Harry is now looking for his forever home. Sweet boy HARRY joined us in November 2019 and was 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 was based at home for the majority of lockdown. Celine worked on Harry’s walking etiquette while he lived 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 who is so well behaved in the house. He has a soft spot for the children he has met. He is sensitive and gentle and his favourite past time in the summer was sunbathing on Celine’s lawn. He is not a morning hound though and prefers to start each day with a lie in! Harry is now in our kennels, looking for his forever home. 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. If you feel you can meet Harry's needs you can contact either Sue our re-homing co-ordinator on 07794463249 or Siobhan at kennels on 07960561988 for further information. www.makants.uk photo credits Celine Tang, Shilpa Grewal

PATRICK

PATRICK

It’s hard to believe but our lovely long stay hound Patrick has been with us for nearly six 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. January 2021 - Patrick has been chosen as an Ambassador for local treat company Tilly's Natural Canine Treats this year. This ensures he receives a supply of treats to last him all year, let's hope he shares some! photo credits: W. Draper, C. Tang, Aleksandra Alex, S. Grewal
