2024 | HOOK MAGAZINE 63 FOUR LEGS GOOD ANIMAL SHELTER & ADOPTION Pomona, NY Four Legs Good is an animal rescue facility, shelter, and adop5on agency where Rock- land County animal lovers can do more than just find a companion, they can make a difference. The shelter takes in animals that need homes, provides medical and other interven5ons, secures foster care when needed, and finds animals new homes when they can. Stray, surrendered, and abandoned or found by police or animal control are all welcome. "We have about 60 eligible foster families," said Bernstein. "People love it and get very a6ached. Some want to keep a few. If they want to keep a pet, they have to go through our adop5on protocols, but they get the pick of the li6er. Animals that are rescued from the street have a wide range of needs, not only medical, but also emo- 5onal and developmental. To address these issues, Four Legs Good relies on a network of foster families. "kit- tens under eight weeks are in their most vulnerable stage and should be in a home environment rather than at the Shelter", said Execu5ve Director Dawn Bernstein.
