The sounds of howls and barks have resounded the SPCA s hallway since an expansion in 2015.
More than simply headaches for the staff, the sharp echoes caused anxiety for the animals the Hyde Park shelter aims to aid.
“Dogs and cats have very sensitive hearing and the sonic qualities of a space heavily contributed to their ability to feel safe and calm,” said Dutchess County SPCA Executive Director Lynne Meloccaro. “The stress of the noise and reverberation from the echoes in the hallway was really becoming too much for them.”
