Makants Greyhound Rescue

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.Details of our homing requirements can be found on this link: https://makants.uk/adopt-foster/

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

Are you right for Annie?Beautiful Annie can live with children of an upper primary school age and above. She can be worried being left which is understandable as she hasn't spent much time in a home before so is looking for adopters that can build up any time alone at her pace. Annie is happy to say hello to other 4 legged friends out and about but would best suit to be the only dog in the home, she can't live with cats or small pets. As Annie is an ex racer she would like adopters happy to keep her on the lead out and about.Is Annie right for you?Annie is our beautiful 7-year-old Greyhound who has stolen the hearts of everyone that meets her here at the centre. She loves her food and she loves a fuss - she will happily lean up against anyone that stops to greet her (and that is quite a lot of people based on the fanbase she here amongst staff). She has a calm and gentle nature, walks nicely on the lead and will make the best companion for someone looking for a dog they can take on potters and then curl up with in the evening.

Meet Arlo! Arlo is a gorgeous, sweet-natured boy who is very friendly and absolutely loves lots of fuss. He’s a real people dog and enjoys getting plenty of attention and affection. He is a very energetic and boisterous lad who can get extremely giddy when he’s excited. He sometimes forgets just how big he is and will jump up to say hello, so he would benefit from some basic training to help him learn his manners and channel all that enthusiasm. Arlo recently had a bath, and although he was a little nervous to begin with, he was a very good boy. Once it was all over, he celebrated in true Arlo style with a case of the zoomies! He also has a funny habit of rearranging his bed and moving it to wherever he thinks it should be. Arlo is a loveable, fun, lively character with bags of personality. He would thrive in a very active home with someone who can give him plenty of exercise, long walks and consistency with his training. He would need a private secure garden so he can practice his zoomies!Arlo has socialised well with other dogs whilst in our care and is very playful, so we feel following a successful meet and greet he could live with another dog of similar size and energy level.As Arlo came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him so would prefer any children in the home to be 16+ years.If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog.*Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.

Are you right for Bailey?Bailey is a 6-year-old Shih Tzu x Chihuahua looking for a home with his best friend Diego. They are looking for a home with more than one person and would love their own private secure garden. They can be nervous around new people so would prefer their new home to have minimal visitors and ability to separate them from the front door. They love to be together but can be worried and vocal around other dogs so would prefer to be the only dogs in the home. They can live with upper secondary school aged children. They would prefer a cat free home but could live with small animals if kept separate. They can be left for short periods once settled.Is Bailey right for you?Bailey is a sensitive boy but once he gets to know you he’ll show you his affectionate side. He loves to snooze on the sofa or sunbathe in the garden. Bailey is quite under socialised so can be worried when meeting new people or seeing dogs out on his walks and is very vocal. We have started some training to help build his confidence and they would love a home who have the time and patience to continue this training. He would love a home that has access to walks in quieter areas. Bailey and Diego have so much potential to really flourish in their new home and they have double the love to offer their new adopters. They are currently enjoying their home comforts in a foster home and so aren’t currently at the centre.

Are you right for Benson?Benson is on the lookout for an active home to keep up with him where he can live with adults only. He can be nervous around other dogs and is learning how to socialise so would like to be the only dog in the home and he wouldn’t suit living with cats either. He could live with small pets if kept separately from him. Benson can be wary of new people and is also worried around traffic so would be best suited to a home that has access to quiet walks or secure fields. Adopters that are happy to keep him on the lead would suit him best and due to this he would love his own private & secure garden to run around freely in. A home that can keep his time alone minimal and help build this up at his own pace would be great and that also have the ability to separate him when visitors are around.Is Benson right for you?Benson is our gorgeous 1-year-old Border Collie who is looking for his forever home to help build up his confidence, take things slow and really meet his activity levels! He is a very sweet boy who loves to play with tennis balls and although he has been quite overwhelmed whilst with us he is getting braver and braver each day. If you have the right amount of time, patience and love to put into training this nervous boy and taking care of his mental and physical enrichment then this is the companion for you.

Beautiful Betty is one of our very special “handicans” looking for her forever home — and what a character she is.Betty has a disability affecting her back legs, our vet believes that she was born this way. While she doesn’t have direct movement in them, she uses them for leverage and balance and gets around far better than you might expect. Her mobility needs to be managed carefully, including wearing protective boots when out and about to prevent sores from dragging her back paws. It’s important that she doesn’t gain too much weight as this will cause extra strain on her legs and make it difficult for her to support herself.Please don’t let her disability fool you — Betty is a bright, happy and fun-loving girl who absolutely does not let it hold her back!During her time with us, Betty has shown herself to be a sweet and friendly girl, but she can also be defensive at times. Due to her disability, she needs to be handled regularly to have her boots put on and taken off, and she has found this difficult at times, resulting in her snapping when she feels uncomfortable. Her new family will need to be patient, understanding and experienced in reading her body language, allowing her to build trust and confidence at her own pace.Betty also finds veterinary visits extremely stressful and can become very reactive at the vets. She will need an experienced owner who understands this and can work with her slowly and positively to build her confidence around handling and vet visits.Despite these challenges, Betty has so many wonderful qualities. She loves people, enjoys affection, and has a fantastic personality. She is a playful, cheeky girl who loves being around other dogs and especially enjoys a good game of “bitey face” and rough-and-tumble play. She would benefit from living with a confident dog who enjoys playing and can match her energy.Betty is a dog who knows her own mind! She enjoys her own space and will need a home that understands and respects her boundaries. She is not suitable to live with cats or children and is looking for an adult-only home.She is used to living in a home environment, is clean indoors, non-destructive and can be left alone for several hours. She will need a secure garden and a ground-floor property, as she cannot manage stairs.Betty absolutely loves her food, but care is needed around other dogs at mealtimes as she can display food-guarding behaviours. She will need to be fed separately to ensure she feels comfortable and relaxed.Betty is a truly special girl who has so much love and fun to give. She doesn’t see herself as different — and neither should you. She simply needs a home that understands her needs, celebrates her personality, and gives her the patience and support to thrive.If you’re looking for a unique, affectionate and wonderfully quirky companion, Betty could be the perfect match. Other dogs: Yes. Cats: No. Children: No.

Bob is a sweet boy but can be nervous of new people, especially around men. Bob is currently under training to help to reduce his nervousness around men and new people, his new family will need to be patient and may need to have extra meets to ensure that he is familiar of everyone in the house before he goes home. Bob will need continuous training to help with his socialisation skills. Once bob is comfortable his goofy personality soon comes out, he loves to play with his toys and all of the staff here. Bob loves his walks, due to his size he can be strong on the lead but with a little more training that would improve. Bob loves his treats and enrichment activities in between walks. Bob is a clever boy as he already knows a few tricks such as sit, down and paw.Bob needs an adult only home where he can have plenty of space to settle in and gain more confidence. He will need an experienced home that has had large breed dogs before and can handle his size and boisterous behaviour once he is settled.Bob has interacted well with dogs whilst in our care, he is still only young so he does like to bounce around and try and play with dogs. Further training is needed to help him improve his manners. Bob could potentially be rehomed with another dog – subject to a successful meet.We are unsure how Bob would react around cats.Please do not apply for a dog if you have a holiday within the next 3 months.

Looking for a loving home.

Meet our gorgeous, daft boy, Bruce!Bruce is a very active and playful boy who absolutely loves chasing around our compound with his toys. He can be quite boisterous and bouncy when he is excited so would definitely benefit from continued training and socialisation. He can be quite a strong boy on his lead too.He will need an active home where he can get all the exercise and mental stimulation he will need every day. Bruce would benefit from a private secure garden where he can have off lead time with his toys in between his walks.Bruce has interacted well with most dogs whilst in our care but can be very dominant with them so we feel he would be best suited to be the only dog in the home. The new adopter will need to continue his socialisation with other dogs to improve his interactions with them.As Bruce can get nervous and overwhelmed meeting new people, especially men, we feel that it would be best for him to go to an adult only home. He will need time to get to know you before going home. His new family will need to be able to commit to multiple meets.

This loveable boy is Buddy! He is the perfect mix of playful energy and affectionate companionship. He’s a friendly, easy-going lad who absolutely adores people and loves being the centre of attention. Full of character, he’s excitable, giddy and always ready to make you smile. Whether it’s cuddles on the sofa or a game in the garden, he just wants to be involved in everything you do. He is bursting with energy and would thrive in an active home where he can enjoy plenty of exercise, playtime and mental stimulation. Fetch is one of his favourite games, and he will happily keep you entertained for hours chasing after a ball. Buddy is incredibly affectionate and loves a fuss, he will make a loyal, loving companion. One thing to note : He is quite the escape artist, so he will need a private secure garden and owners who are mindful of doors, gates and fencing. When Buddy came into us he had an Entropian (an eye condition) which has now been repaired and he is healing nicely.Buddy has interacted well with other dogs whilst in our care so we feel he could potentially live with another high energy dog following a successful meet and greet.As Buddy came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on him so would prefer any children in the home to be 14+ years.We are unsure how Buddy would react around cats.If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog.

Are you right for Buzz?Buzz can become mouthy when overexcited or overwhelmed so is looking for a home with just adults who are comfortable giving him the time to settle. We are looking for adopters that have the ability to separate him in the home due to this. He is happy to say hello and can make friends with dogs out and about but at times can get a little too over the top off so is best suited to be the only dog in the home. He cannot live with cats but could live with small pets if they are kept separately from him. Buzz is looking for a home who are happy to keep him on lead out and about. He can struggle to settle during car journeys so a home where it isn't essential for him to travel frequently is best. Buzz will require home trials to help him settle into his forever home, therefore we are looking for adopters who live within 30 minutes of the Manchester centre to facilitate this.Is Buzz right for you?Buzz is our handsome 7-year-old Mastiff crossbreed looking for his forever home, he is enthusiastic for life and eager for his next adventure. Buzz hasn’t had the best of luck during his time with us but has a lot of love to give to his next home! This boy is the biggest lap dog you’ll ever meet; he is super food orientated too so this is great for his training, which he finds a lot of fun! In his previous home, Buzz could be left for up to 6 hours so could suit a working home. He enjoys spending his time here making new friends (people & dogs) and going for walking adventures with his pals.
