Adoption FAQ

What are your adoption fees?

Adoption fees vary by animal and include spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchipping. Contact us at adopt@4lg.org or call (845) 414-9700 for current fees.

What if the adoption doesn't work out?

If for any reason an adoption becomes impossible, the animal must be returned to Four Legs Good. We never want an animal to be abandoned twice. We will work with you to resolve any issues first.

Do you do follow-up visits?

Four Legs Good reserves the right to place a follow-up phone call or visit, with notice, within the first year of adoption. This is to ensure both you and your new pet are thriving.

Can I visit the shelter before applying?

Absolutely. We are open 12-5 PM daily (closed Wednesdays). Come meet the animals, talk to our team, and see the shelter for yourself. No appointment needed.

The 65 and 5 Program

Adopters aged 65 and older who adopt animals aged 5 and older may have their adoption fee waived. Senior pets and senior adopters are a perfect match. Ask us about eligibility when you visit.
