Greyhound Welfare is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue and placement of ex-racing greyhounds. We operate and place dogs in two primary areas, the "Mid-Atlantic," which includes DC, MD, VA, WV, and parts of PA, and in "New England," which includes MA, RI and NH. Our dogs are housed in foster homes, not in kennels. Foster parents teach them how to start to adjust to life in the world outside race tracks. We help them learn to be housebroken, to get along with all breeds of dogs, and basically socialize them to anything and everything we can! For the most part, this does help their transition into an adoptive home quite a bit. Our dogs can be visited in their foster homes, and our adopters can speak with the dog's fosters to learn about the dog. We encourage visiting potential dogs before an adopter makes a decision -- and your dogs are welcome to visit too! To keep things sane for our foster homes, we limit visitation to approved adopters. If you are interested in any of our dogs, or in working with us, apply today!

Helping Hands: Monkey Helpers for the Disabled is a national nonprofit serving quadriplegic and other people with severe spinal cord injuries or mobility-impairments by providing highly trained monkeys to assist with daily activities. As live-in companions, our monkey helpers provide 20-30 years of service, bringing the gifts of independence, companionship, dignity and hope to the people they help. Helping Hands also educates thousands of young people annually in schools, camps, and youth programs through the Spinal Cord Injury Prevention Program (SCIPP.) SCIPP teaches preventive measures for safety awareness and making good choices, heightens sensitivity to the challenges of being disabled, and promotes understanding of the human-animal bond.
