THE MOST IMPORTANT PROGRAM FOR THE FOUNDATION IS THE 2ND CHANCE AT LIFE: GREYHOUNDS AND PRISON PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM WHERE OVER 120 INCARCERATED WOMEN INMATE VOLUNTEERS BECOME ANIMAL BEHAVORIST AND TRAINERS. THE NGF CURRENTLY HAS THEIR PRIMARY CENTRAL TRAINING FACILITY IN FLORIDA AND SHIP THEIR TRAINED GREYHOUNDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHERE THEY HAVE ADOPTION PARTNERS. GREYHOUNDS ARE RESCUED FROM THE RACE TRACKS AND KENNEL OPERATORS AND ARE SHIPPED TO THE PRISON WHERE THEY ARE TRAINED AS COMPANION DOGS, THERAPY DOGS AND PTSD DOGS. THIS YEAR MARKED THE 23RD YEAR OF THE 2ND CHANCE AT LIFE PRISON PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM AND THE PROGRAM WAS EXPANDED WITH A THIRD PHASE THAT INCLUDED A RE-ENTRY OF THE PRISONERS BACK INTO SOCIETY.
