Free the Hounds is a greyhound welfare advocacy group based in Western Australia and launched in August 2015. Free the Hounds is a non-profit organisation incorporated in WA under the Associations Incorporation Act 2015, whose members are deeply concerned about the welfare of greyhounds used and discarded by the racing industry. Our purpose is to prevent the harm and inhumane treatment of greyhounds, including wastage of greyhounds by the racing industry, by informing the public of the facts of greyhound racing and supporting welfare reforms. We support an end to commercial greyhound racing.

Our aim is to improve the welfare standards for racing greyhounds and to create a positive image for greyhounds and their suitability as pets. We do this by:     Raising Awareness & educating the public of the issues associated with greyhound racing through merchandise, social media, stalls, events, and protests.  Running campaigns & petitions.  Lobbying the state government working with lawmakers.  We also run fundraiser events to raise money for greyhound adoption groups, as well awareness to humanity and amazingness of these dogs and the lives that they deserve.
