The deal will include meeting feeding needs for the charity of an entire year, typically the biggest overhead of any animal welfare charity. It will also provide staff training, dog training and all the feed for rehoming packs and multiple promotional opportunities.
Makants is a completely independent, self-funded charity and cares solely for greyhounds. Its rehoming team also remains in contact with the adoptive family during the first few months to offer any help or advice required.
John Burns, founder of Burns Pet Nutrition said “The Burns Pet Nutrition team and I are extremely passionate about supporting and giving back to the community in any way, shape or form possible, and the same goes for charities in need of the support they aren’t currently receiving.

The charity also takes its greyhounds to care homes for older people and to schools and youth groups such as Cubs, earning respect throughout the community.
As a result they have attended many community events such as Christmas light switch-ons and other charity happenings.
Everyone connected with the rescue is a volunteer and many have been with the charity since the rescue center was founded.
