Welcome, Hudson Valley to this week’s edition of IN TOUCH, the public affairs, and issues program that runs across Townsquare Media of the Hudson Valley radio stations.

Happy Holidays! It’s one week until Christmas! I hope you are ready to celebrate all of your upcoming special occasions. Most of all, I wish you much love and happiness wherever you find yourself this December. This week’s guest is Lynne Meloccaro, executive director of the Dutchess County SPCA. The SPCA is not only the go-to organization for all animal welfare issues, but they’re also helping the people of the Hudson Valley in ways you may have never considered. Lynne also talks about the best tips when it comes to adopting a pet for the holidays.

Keep scrolling to learn more about the SPCA's New Year's Day Animal Tails (Storytelling) and Performance Event by Stephen Clair along with some pictures from my tour of the Dutchess County SPCA.

We invite you to join us, and listen to a previously recorded conversation between Lynne and myself here on In Touch.
