Are you right for Alaska?Alaska would thrive in a loving home with secondary‑school‑aged children or older, where she can enjoy being the only dog and have her own space to relax; she’ll do brilliantly with a family who appreciate Husky traits & can offer her a secure private garden to explore. She can't live with cats but could live with small pets if kept separately from her.Is Alaska right for you?Alaska is a bright, affectionate 6‑year‑old Husky with a friendly, people‑loving nature who enjoys exploring on her walks, happily accepts handling and grooming, loves fuss on her own terms, shows no reaction to traffic, and brings an enthusiastic, curious energy to everything she does, making her a lovely companion for someone who appreciates her gentle temperament and adventurous spirit.

Are you right for Albie?Albie would be best suited to a calm, quiet home where he can relax and feel safe to let his personality shine with time. Albie is looking for a home where any children are sensible, calm and of upper secondary ages. Albie has a history of being worried by children generally so would not suit a home with any younger visiting children. He isn't overly social when it comes to other dogs, much preferring the company of his human friends. Typical of his breed, Albie can be reactive towards smaller animals and cats, he would therefore like to be the only pet in the home. Albie would be best suited to a home with access to a private garden but homes without a garden may be considered in quieter areas. Albie can be shy of new people initially so would like a home where he has the ability to be separated, taking himself away to settle if he feels overwhelmed. Albie is up for rehoming through our homestay scheme meaning he is staying in the comforts of his own home whilst we find a home for him, he therefore is not based at the rehoming centre.Is Albie right for you?Introducing Albie, he's a 7 year old Dachshund seeking a home where he can settle his paws. Albie loves the quiet life, enjoying gentle strolls and snoozing the afternoon away under his blanket. He can be a sensitive soul, taking a little time to warm up to new people and being worried by loud noises, but he shows his cheeky side when his favourite squeaky toys come out! Albie is used to being left alone for longer periods so wouldn't mind doing so again once he is settled into his new home, he doesn't mind heading off for a trip in the car either.

Makants Greyhound Rescue

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 Aston?Meet Aston, our handsome 5 year old Husky who would love an active home with someone around most of the time to help build his confidence being left. He would like to be the only dog in the home, with access to low dog populated areas. He can live with upper primary aged children.Is Aston right for you?Majestic Aston is a chilled boy at home who loves to spend time relaxing either in the garden or on a cooler floor inside. He is always up for an adventure and loves to be out and about on his walks. He is currently building his confidence around other dogs so loves walks in quieter areas without too many dogs and is happy to jump in the car for adventures further afield. He's an affectionate boy and loves being with you and getting attention but is also happy to relax on his own. He is currently enjoying his home comforts in one of our foster homes and so isn't at the centre.

Meet Bailey! This little lady is a typical Jack Russell with a big personality packed into a small body. Full of energy and enthusiasm, she thrives on playtime and absolutely loves her toys – whether its a game of fetch or entertaining herself, she is always ready for fun. She can be quite vocal when playing, adding to her charm and character. She is an active dog who will need a home that can match her energy levels and provide plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation. On the lead she is strong for her size and does tend to pull, so ongoing training and consistency will be important to help her improve her walking manners.She would be best suited to a home as the only dog. While she can enjoy her own company with her humans, she is not comfortable sharing her space with other dogs and prefers to have her environment to herself. Handling-wise she is not keen on having her paws touched, so her new owners will need to be patient and understanding, working with her at her pace to build trust and confidence. This bright, spirited girl is looking for a committed home that understands the needs of the breed and is willing to continue her training and provide her with the structure she needs to thrive. We think she will make a fun, loyal and entertaining companion.As Bailey came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on her so would prefer any children in the home to be 14+ years.If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog.*Applicants that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge

Belco is a very sweet, loving young boy who adores people and thrives on affection. He’s friendly, cuddly, and has a wonderfully silly, playful side when he’s with other dogs. Belco loves to be part of the fun, he enjoys canine company and exerts a lot of his energy through play with other dogs, so a home with a compatible resident dog would be ideal for him.He has shown strong potential to live with cats, but would be best suited to a home with a confident, dog-savvy cat. As he can be quite full-on at times, a more nervous or skittish cat may find him overwhelming.Despite his happy nature, Belco does have an underlying medical condition affecting his lower spine and hind end. He has an old injury to his lower back, with associated arthritic changes, likely resulting from previous trauma. He can experience pain, particularly when being lifted, and may require ongoing pain relief.At present, he moves well and has good mobility in his hind limbs, but his condition means he will need a carefully managed home where handling is gentle and his comfort is prioritised. He will not be suited to an overly active lifestyle such as hiking.Belco is a loving, playful, people-friendly young dog who thrives around other dogs. He will need a calm, supportive home with adopters who can manage his ongoing medical needs and ensure he remains comfortable and happy. A truly special boy who will reward his people with endless affection and joy. Other dogs: Yes. Cats: Yes. Children: 10+.

Bella is a very nervous girl who needs to go home to a quiet and calm environment. She came into our care as a stray so we don’t have much background information on her. Due to this she will need a family that is patient and has the time to allow her to adjust to her new home. She will need to have multiple meets for her to get to know you well before she can go home. Bella enjoys snoozing in bed and playing with her teddies.Bella can walk near dogs well but does get overwhelmed quickly, so if she was to go home with a dog, it would have to be small and have a calm temperament to match hers. Due to Bella being nervous we think it would best for her to be around any children who are 16 years or older. Subject to a successful meet.We are unsure of how Bella will react around cats.If you have a holiday booked in the next 3 months please wait until you return to apply for a dog.*Applicants that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge

This handsome boy is Benny! This cheeky young lad is full of personality and absolutely loves people. He is incredibly friendly, affectionate and always ready for cuddles after a good run around. Like most Lurchers, he has a fun-loving, mischievous side too, if you leave treats within reach, don’t expect them to stay there for long! He is an active boy who loves his zoomies and could happily chase tennis balls for hours. He already knows some basic commands and is eager to learn more with the right guidance and consistency. He can be very strong on the lead, so his new owners will need to be confident handling larger dogs and willing to continue his training. He also has a habit of shredding his blankets when bored or excited, so plenty of exercise and enrichment will be important for him. We are looking for an active home where he can enjoy plenty of walks, playtime and companionship. Due to his prey drive he cannot live with cats or small furries. Benny will need a private secure garden.Benny has interacted well with other dogs whilst in our care although he can be a little unsure at first. We feel he could potentially live with another dog following a successful meet and greet.As Benny 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.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.

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 due to an unknown previous injury. While she doesn’t have direct movement in them, she does use them for leverage and balance, and she gets around far better than you might expect. We’ll be reviewing her condition further with our vet, but please don’t let her disability fool you — it certainly doesn’t hold her back!Betty is bright, happy, and full of life. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs, enjoys rolling around on her back, and has a wonderful way of making everyone around her laugh. She greets people with pure enthusiasm, cuddles, and tail wags — her sweet, affectionate temperament really is one of her most endearing qualities.She is used to living in a home environment, settles well indoors, and is toilet trained. Importantly, she does not require any assistance to go to the toilet. She cannot navigate stairs so will need to live on a ground floor property, ideally with access to a private garden.She has previously lived with cats but we will be carrying out further assessments at the rescue. Betty loves the company of other dogs however, she can display food-guarding behaviours around them, so she will need to be fed separately (she absolutely adores her food!)Due to some dragging of her back paws, Betty will need to wear protective boots when out and about to prevent sores. She will need an understanding and committed home that recognises her additional needs and is happy to support her with this small bit of extra management.Her exercise will need to be limited, though she has her own special wheels which she can use too.Betty is playful and can be a little mouthy in her excitement, but this is all part of her joyful, cheeky personality. She doesn’t see herself as different — and neither should you. She is simply a happy, loving dog who happens to move through the world in her own unique way.If you’re looking for an inspiring, affectionate, and truly special companion, Betty might just be your perfect match. Other dogs: Yes. Cats: TBC. Children: 16+.

Billy loves to carry an emotional support toy around with him on his walks! He is such a gentle giant! He gets so excited when you go and see him in his kennel and will always bring you a present. You will always get such a big smile from Billy! He loves his treats and will sit down nicely for them! He is very people orientated and will look up at you with those gorgeous eyes whilst out on walks.Billy will need to be in an adult only home and be the only dog in the home. He will walk near to other dogs but he is not always a fan of them being in his space, so will also need a home that is willing to work with him on socialisation and can handle his size. He can be quite a strong boy on his walks so potential adopters will need to be confident with large, strong breeds.He was very nervous when he came in to our care as a rehome, but has really gained so much confidence and is such a friendly boy with all our staff members and volunteers. As long as he has toys to play with and a bed to curl up in, he will be a happy boy! If you are an active family, who are confident with larger breeds and willing to work on socialisation, then Billy could be the dog for you!*Applicants that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge

This happy girl is Birdie. She is a fun loving and giddy girl who is always up for lots fuss and attention. She can be quite vocal so probably not suited to living in a flat/apartment. Birdie is very energetic and loves going on long walks exploring and having a sniff. She is a bit of an escape artist and can climb our 12 foot fencing so she would need to be kept on a lead at all times whilst out in the garden. Birdie has socialised well with other dogs in our care and is very playful so we feel following a successful meet and greet she could possibly be rehomed with another playful dog of similar size.As Birdie came into the home as a stray we have no previous history on her so would prefer any children in the home to be 14+ years.Applications that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge.

Blaze is a big bundle of energy who loves everyone he meets. Blaze came into us as a stray but has been a friendly excitable boy from day one. He loves to jump up and forgets how big he really is. He’s a very clever boy who knows a few tricks such as sit and speak so would love for someone to be able to teach him some more tricks in his new home. Blaze gets very excited to go out on walks so would love an active home that can take him on lots of adventures!Due to his size blaze would benefit from a home that has had large breeds previously so they are able to work on his training with him. This includes lead walking as he gets over excited and just wants to run!Blaze has interacted well with dogs whilst in the home so could potentially be rehomed with another dog of a similar size and temperament – subject to a successful meet. We also think that Blaze could possibly live with children 14 years and older – subject to a successful meet and greet.This handsome boy just wants lots of love and cuddles! Can you give him his forever home?*Applicants that are successful will be provided with further information on each dog to the best of the charity’s knowledge
