About Four Legs Good
A voice for the voiceless in Rockland County and beyond.
Our Mission
Every animal deserves compassion, safety, and a path home
Four Legs Good, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to providing the most humane treatment of Rockland County animals in need. We started as a small group of dedicated volunteers who decided to make a difference in the lives of feral, homeless, and abandoned animals.
Our mission is to promote the well-being of homeless and abandoned animals by being a strong voice for animal rights against cruelty, injustice, and mistreatment, while supporting the use of humane methods of managing community animals.
We provide a safe and healthy place for animals to be taken in and given shelter, food, and medical care, along with TNVR and educational assistance to the community.
What We Believe
Every animal that comes through our doors gets a chance. We are a no-kill shelter. We believe in second chances, not second guessing.
Every potential adopter goes through a thoughtful application and in-person interview. Our goal is to set each animal and family up for success, so every adoption is truly forever.
If for any reason an adoption doesn’t work out, the animal comes back to us. No animal is abandoned twice.
A New Chapter
What’s different now
Since taking over shelter operations in September 2023, we’ve overhauled how animals are cared for in Rockland County.
🏠
Higher Standards of Care
Strict adherence to NY State Standards of Care Act for regulation of animal shelters. The shelter is clean, organized and welcoming.
🎾
Play & Socialization First
Daily enrichment, play time, and socialization are priorities, not afterthoughts. Well-socialized animals get adopted faster and adjust better.
🤝
Community Partnerships
Rebuilt relationships with local veterinarians, rescue groups, and community organizations. We work together because the animals benefit.
📋
Thoughtful Adoptions
Every adopter completes an application and in-person interview. We match animals to lifestyles, not impulses. Our goal is forever homes.
🐈
Humane TNVR
Replaced the old trap-and-euthanize approach for feral cats with a comprehensive Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return program.
📚
Community Education
School visits, public outreach, and resources for pet owners. We teach responsible pet ownership and how to help animals in need.
