It's not something you would ever expect to see while shopping at your local Dollar General store.

If you haven't noticed recently across the Hudson Valley, we have seen major expansion when it comes to the number of Dollar General stores we have to choose from.

There are "newer" stores in Dutchess (Hyde Park, NY), Ulster, and Orange Counites along with stores in Newburgh, Wappingers Falls, and Poughkeepsie that have been open for years. In total, Dollar General has a massive 555 stores open across New York State but there's only one that can claim they had an animal shopping recently.
