About Greyhounds in Manchester
Makants Greyhound Rescue at Tyldesley, about ten miles from Manchester, was founded in 2013 and takes most of its dogs straight from racing, so it does not home them with cats. It asks a £175 homing donation, always home checks, needs a fence of at least five feet all round with a lockable gate, and offers a two week home trial. Its kennels are not open for general visits, but by arrangement you can walk the greyhounds there several times first, and it says a greyhound must never be walked on a retractable lead.
Home Run Hounds North West, listed at Rixton, about 12 miles from Manchester, rehomes former racing greyhounds across the North West through volunteers and foster families. For households with young children or a dog already, it runs a Foster to Adopt scheme: a £30 non refundable reservation fee, taken off the adoption fee if you go ahead, secures a trial at home with no obligation to adopt. Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home also lists greyhounds with us alongside its other stray and unwanted dogs.

About greyhounds
Many greyhounds in UK rescue are retired racing dogs. The Greyhound Trust says most retire from racing between three and five years old, so a rescue greyhound is usually a young adult rather than a puppy.

No. Rescues rehome greyhounds for an adoption fee rather than selling them, so be wary of any advert that asks for a deposit before you have met the dog. In and around Manchester today, greyhounds are listed by Manchester & Cheshire Dogs' Home (at Warrington), Makants Greyhound Rescue N.W (at Tyldesley, about 10 miles away) and Home Run Hounds North West (at Rixton, about 12 miles away), and 1 other rescue.

Can I get a free greyhound to a good home in Manchester, or one under £500?
Usually not from a rescue: each asks an adoption fee towards neutering, microchipping and vaccinations, and a "free to a good home" advert is a private one with no rescue checks behind it. Of the rescues listing greyhounds in and around Manchester today, the published fees run from £175 at Makants Greyhound Rescue N.W to £250 at Warrington Animal Welfare. Every one of those is under £500. For the other rescue, see the rescue's own page.
