Causes: Animals
Mission: Formed in March of 2001, GREY2K USA Worldwide is the largest greyhound protection organization in the United States and now works internationally. As a non-profit 501(c)4 organization, we work to pass stronger greyhound protection laws and to end the cruelty of dog racing on both national and international levels. We also promote the rescue and adoption of ex-racers across the globe.
Results: We have written and passed bills making dog racing illegal in the states of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Colorado, Arizona and Florida. When we first began our campaign, there were 49 tracks in 15 states and by next year there will be just 6 tracks in five states. Additionally, we have worked to block the expansion of dog racing to countries such as Jamaica, the Philippines and South Africa. Our research has led to the exposure of hundreds of media documented cases of greyhound cruelty and neglect, including dogs testing positive for cocaine, dogs suffering terrible injuries and dogs experiencing severe neglect at racing kennels both here and abroad.

Target demographics: shut down dog tracks and save greyhounds.
Direct beneficiaries per year: In November 2018., we passed a constitutional amendment to make Florida the 41st state to ban dog racing
Geographic areas served: all places where dog racing exists
Programs: We document the cruelty of dog racing and use our research to pass greyhound protection laws with the goal of ending dog racing worldwide. We also promote the adoption of ex-racers worldwide. Read more at http://www. grey2kusa. org/who/index. html
