LOU (female)

NO CATS LOU (female) D.O.B. 3.7.23 Three year old LOU arrived with us on the 5th July 2026. Due to the recent heatwave she hasn't yet experienced as much of life in the outside world as we would like. However, now cooler weather has retuned she has been enjoying her daily walks with our volunteers and we’re told she walks well on the lead. LOU is a quiet girl and can appear timid but we're sure her confidence will increase in time. During the heatwave she enjoyed spending time with our volunteers in kennels and has already made an impression, having been described as ‘adorable’ by Siobhan! LOU has also visited our onsite Enrichment (home from home) room for the first time. She was a little nervous at first being in a different environment but enjoyed cuddles - and soon became familiar with the noise of the treat tin being opened! LOU is having lots of new experiences and settling well into life at Makants.

He has just realised there are other breeds of dog apart from greyhounds and is now getting used to smaller breeds through exposure on his daily walk.

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 has spent days out with our volunteers and another hound and has always behaved well. AL could live in a home with another female hound or would be equally happy as an only dog. We're looking for a home where AL would have company for a large part of the day and we would prefer any children in the household to be 13 plus years of age.

TED

*TED is now RESERVED* 5 year old TED arrived with us on the 9th May 2026.

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

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 Now 6 years old, REGGIE arrived with us in April 2024. REGGIE is a very loving dog and we’ve found him to be a very 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 - and he certainly has a well established fan club amongst the volunteers at kennels! As well as his daily walks he has enjoyed days out to Rivington and he recently had a sleepover with Lisa, one of our volunteers. We’re told he behaved impeccably settling to sleep with no fuss at all and was clean in the house throughout his stay. In fact Lisa said he had been an ‘absolute delight’ to have in the home. The only thing that lets Reggie down is his reactivity towards other breeds of dog. Having said that his reactivity can be selective and his behaviour has improved thanks to work undertaken by our walking volunteers. We think REGGIE would be happy to live as an only dog as he would love nothing more than having all the humans to himself and would like someone around for some part of the day. We're looking for adopters with some experience of owning a large dog, not necessarily a greyhound, for him. 📍Only pet in the household 📍Someone around during the day 📍Older children 13+ You can find more details on our homing requirements, along with an application form on our website www.makants.uk or on this link: https://makants.uk/adopt-foster/ photo Miriam Payne, Sharon Middling, Shilpa Grewal, JackieMcKenzie

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
