The celebration of Adopt a Greyhound Month continues with our special guest, Allan Jay. Allan is a chart-topping recording artist in the UK. He won Best Male Artist 2015 and the LBGTQ Music Award 2016.

Last month, Allan released a charity single for the Retired Greyhound Trust in the UK. It’s part of a campaign that was created to build awareness about male greyhounds … the boys. In the UK, 80% of greyhounds waiting for adoption are male as most adopters want females. In the US, we find many adopters have a stronger preference for females, too.

Why? There are many misconceptions about male greyhounds. The Let’s Hear it for the Boys campaign dispels the myths about males in a very fun and educational way.

In this episode, Allan walks us through the “boy issue” and the campaign.
