Line 1 Organizations Mission The National Greyhound Foundation (NGF), a national 501 3(c) organization formed in 1994, rescues, adopts, and educates people and families about retiired racing greyhounds and other abused animals and people. In our 18 years of public service, the NGF has expanded its goals through the years to help meet not only changing to needs of the community, but the Greyhound Industry and their slaughter of hopeless animals. The NGF has rescued over 7000 retired racing greyhounds, and helped heal the hearts and save lives of thousands of incarcerated men and women dealing with PTSD and other medical disorders in prisons. In 2006 with the creation of the 2nd Chance at Life Prison Partnership Program, and our recent Purple Heart Greyhound Service Dogs Program, we continue to train prison inmates to train retired racing greyhounds to become Companion, Therapy, and Service Dogs for our War Veterans.
