*The rescue will soon be in its 13th year*
*Will YOU help us ?**
It’s hard to believe that Makants was founded by Siobhan with the first intake being just one dog and one slip lead, some 12 years ago! The past 12 years certainly haven’t always been easy – what with COVID and the economic downturn – but we have, with your help, remained resilient and over those years have been able to help over 730 ex racing greyhounds into loving homes. In these uncertain times we are always so grateful for any donations that come our way.
To ensure we can continue to help even more greyhounds into homes in the future, would you consider making a donation via PayPal ?

*SPONSOR A KENNEL*
If looking for a gift for a loved one, why not consider sponsoring a kennel at Makants?
You can sponsor a kennel for 3 months (£15), 6 months (£30) 12 months (£60) or as a “continuous” sponsorship (£5 per month with a certificate sent at beginning of sponsorship)
We have kennel numbers 1 to 10 to choose from with details of who is occupying your sponsored kennel (please note however that this will change as the dogs are homed). Your sponsorship money will ensure support for veterinary care, food, bedding, rehabilitation, enrichment care and grooming for our kennel guests.
You will receive a certificate showing details of your sponsorship which can be personalised for someone special or as a gift to celebrate a special occasion. Kennel sponsorships can also be a memorial for a loved one or pet. Full details can be found on the following link: Kennel Sponsorship – Makants Greyhound Rescue N.W

At Makants we aim to help any greyhound in need. Founded by Siobhan Hoppley in 2013, Makants Greyhound Rescue, a registered charity, is based in Tyldesley, Greater Manchester. To date we have found forever homes for just over 730 greyhounds. The charity’s aim is to rescue, rehabilitate and rehome retired and injured greyhounds but we also help find homes for greyhounds from individuals who can no longer provide the love and care they require.
