Long Island Greyhound Transfer (LIGHT)
Long Island GreyHound Transfer (LIGHT) on Long Island, New York is a non-profit, 501(c)3 all volunteer organization dedicated to finding responsible and loving homes for ex-racing greyhounds. We also educate the public about the plight of the ex-racing GreyHound, stressing their desirability as pets. We service all of Long Island as well as the tri-state area. Each year over thirty thousand GreyHounds nationwide, are 'put down' due to lack of available homes. We have rescued and placed (in 'forever homes') over twelve hundred GreyHounds since our beginning. We still have a long way to go. We always need donations for medical and operational costs. Contributions to Long Island GreyHound Transfer (LIGHT) are tax deductible.
Sometime in 1995, after seeing a National Geographic special called "Racing for their Lives" a story about the plight of the racing GreyHound, six people from the community gathered around a kitchen table and started Long Island Greyhound Transfer (LIGHT). We are the first Long Island based 501 (c) (3) non-profit, all-volunteer run GreyHound rescue organization.
Since that time, we have been featured in several newspaper articles, as well as appearing on Long Island CH.12 'The Family Pet', the Martha Stewart Living Show, National Geographic Today, the Long Island Ducks, the New York Mets, Broadway Barks and various other local TV and radio stations. Throughout each year we also attend several community fairs and festivals, school assemblies, Boy and Girl Scout Troop's Meetings, all to alert and educate the public about the plight of the GreyHound once their 'racing days' are over with.
