Volunteer for L.I.G.H.T.

Any organization is only as strong and successful as those who support it with their donations - whether it be monetary or the gift of themselves through volunteering.

Being a volunteer with LIGHT can be one of the most rewarding experiences you will have - whether it is spending time with the GreyHounds at a special event, fostering a GreyHound to prepare him/her for their forever home, fundraising, doing administrative tasks, public relations, transporting/picking up GreyHounds, just to name a few.

LIGHT supports, welcomes and encourages an active, organized volunteer base of GreyHound lovers who share the passion and vision of finding loving, responsible forever homes for GreyHounds to live out their natural lives. The minimum age for volunteering is 13 years. There's no maximum age!! Volunteers aged 13 -16 must be accompanied at all times by a parent or legal guardian who is also an active volunteer. All volunteers under 18 must have parental consent. If you want to be part of L.I.G.H.T.’s volunteer family, please fill out the volunteer form and submit as instructed.

Foster a GreyHound

We are frequently in need of temporary foster homes for our GreyHounds off the track. Sometimes it’s for as little as a day, sometimes as long as a week or two.

By being a foster home, you provide a temporary home for one of the GreyHounds that has been brought into L.I.G.H.T.’s adoption program. You acquaint them with "life inside a home" versus life at the kennel or track. It can be one of the most rewarding, and sometimes challenging, experiences.

The most common comment about fostering a GreyHound, is "I'm afraid I will get too attached". Well, that is very true for each of us, but remember, "if you adopt, you can save one; if you foster, you can save many."

If you are interested in becoming a foster home, please fill out the Foster application and submit as instructed. This application allows us to better match a foster GreyHound to your particular home environment. Should you have any questions, please feel free to E-mail Ellen Graff, our Adoption Coordinator at adoptions@ligreyhound.org
