Adding to this is the masterful participation of the Dominican Republic Youth Philharmonic, elevating the artistic and emotional quality of each musical number to a level never before seen on national television. Each piece was recorded under a cinematographic visual design and a carefully constructed narrative to touch the heart and celebrate the magic of giving a home to those who have been rescued and promote the responsible adoption of thousands of stray animals living on the streets. First Christmas special broadcast by Telemedios Channel 8 Under the general production of Lorenny Solano and LASO Films, this will be the first Christmas special broadcast by the newly opened Telemedios Canal 8, consolidating the proposal of renewed content and public service that its General Directorate promotes.

'A Home for Christmas' represents the values we want to bring to every Dominican home: solidarity, hope, and social commitment. Supporting Fundación LASO and its president, Lorenny Solano, is supporting a noble and urgent cause for the country." Lorenny Solano: “This special is an audiovisual miracle built with love” The president of Fundación LASO and general producer of the special, Lorenny Solano, deeply thanked the channel, the artists, and the institutions that have joined to make this television work a reality: "Thanks to Telemedios Canal 8, to César Hernández, to each artist, musician, technician, and ally who has joined, as well as to our producer Ruben Iriarte who is giving his heart so that everything turns out as we wish. This special has been produced taking care of every detail to offer the most beautiful and emotional Christmas show that Dominican television has seen. All with a purpose: to promote responsible adoption and to remember that animals are not toys, and that instead of buying and giving an animal as a gift, it is better to rescue one and make it a family." Solano highlighted that the special seeks to inspire the population to open their hearts and homes to rescued animals and to promote a national culture of protection, empathy, and responsibility. A production that will mark a before and after "A Home for Christmas" has been developed with cinematic production standards: high-impact visual aesthetics, set design selected to convey emotion and magic, documentary storytelling, original musicals, promotion of animals for adoption, real testimonials, a narrative approach that unites art, sensitivity, and social cause. The special aims to become the most spectacular Christmas program ever seen on Dominican television, not only for its technical quality, but for the transformative power of its message. LASO Foundation invites all families, companies and citizens to join this cause and not miss this special event: “This December 24th… get ready to experience Christmas from the heart.
Get ready to give a home, even if just for a moment.
Get ready to be moved, inspired, and remember what Christmas truly means.” About LASO Foundation LASO Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue, rehabilitation, and responsible adoption of animals, as well as social education for animal protection.
