Where to Get Free Dog and Cat Food in the Hudson Valley

Every pet owner knows that their animals are part of their family. Luckily, there are resources across many Hudson Valley counties for residents who are having trouble providing their furry friends with food.

One of the most helpful resources for Hudson Valley pet owners is their local chapter of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. Across numerous counties, the SPCA helps pets even after adoption.
