What if you could help change the life of a dog like Tony? ❤️

Tony has spent years at Bideawee waiting for the right home. He’s made incredible progress, but like many dogs with special behavioral needs, he needs a little extra patience, understanding, and support.

On Saturday, December 12, join us for Bideawee Beyond the Bark, a FREE educational event led by animal behavior expert Barbara Pezzanite.

This hands-on learning session is a great opportunity to better understand dogs with behavioral challenges, gain valuable skills, and discover ways to make a difference in their lives.

We’re also hoping to find foster homes for Tony and other dogs like him, and we’d love for you to join us!

📅 Saturday, December 12 from 10–11 AM
📍 Bideawee Westhampton, 118 Old Country Road

Sunshine, snuggles, and a favorite stuffed animal. 🧸☀️ That's pretty much all it takes to make Phantom the happiest boy around! 🐶💕

Phantom, our lovable senior sweetheart, (whose adoption fee has been paid for) is the definition of a gentle soul. This handsome boy is currently enjoying life in foster, where he's getting more comfortable every day and showing everyone just how special he is! 🥹❤️

Phantom is a mellow and affectionate gentleman with wonderful manners. He's quiet (his foster says they have yet to hear him bark!), gets along with other dogs, and is happiest spending time relaxing with his favorite people. Whether he's lounging nearby or soaking up some affection, this sweet boy is all about enjoying the simple things in life.

One of the cutest things about Phantom? He absolutely loves napping in the sunshine with his favorite stuffed animal by his side! 🧸💕 There's something so sweet about this mature and gentle boy cuddling up with his little buddy for an afternoon snooze.

Phantom is a laid-back senior who would love a peaceful home where he can enjoy his golden years. He has shown some resource guarding in the past, so his future family should be mindful of this with high-value items.

Phantom isn't asking for much. Just a soft place to land, a little sunshine, his beloved stuffed animal, and someone to love him as much as he'll love them. 🥰🏡

✨ This sweet boy is ready for his happily ever after! ✨

Let's help this gentle gentleman find a forever home filled with love, cozy naps, and all the sunshine he deserves. 🐶🏡💙

Boone has places to go, people to meet, and a whole lot of living to do! ❤️

At just 1-year-old, this Georgia boy has a BIG zest for life and is ready to make the most of every minute. Sure, he can be a little high energy, but he’s also a young dog living in a shelter, and there’s a whole wonderful world out there that he’s eager to explore!

We picture Boone curled up beside the fireplace in your Hudson Valley home, joining you for weekend trips to the vineyards out east, splashing around at the dog beach in Prospect Park, or simply being your favorite sidekick for whatever adventure comes next.

Because underneath all that youthful enthusiasm is a sweet boy who just wants a life filled with love, adventure, and someone to share it all with.

Meet him in Westhampton Tuesdays-Sundays!

Kima was so sad when she was first brought back to Bideawee. I remember seeing her the day she came in, learning that she was eight-years-old, and just feeling my heart sink into my chest. A large, senior dog who was returned because of resource guarding and didn’t seem to like other dogs. I knew she would have an uphill battle ahead of her.

But I think the reason I felt so drawn to her is because she had the most wise, soulful eyes and the sweetest face. It was like she was aware of the strikes she had against her, even aware of how she had contributed to them, and desperately wished things could be different.

In the days and weeks that followed we slowly saw the light come back into her eyes. She made friends with many staff members and volunteers, enjoyed playing in the yard, and even participated in a fashion photo shoot!

Kima still resource guards her favorite things, and she will need a home with an adopter who understands that certain things, like food and toys, can bring out her protective side, and who knows how to give her the space, structure, and support she needs to feel secure. But Kima is a sweet, loving girl who wants to love and be loved, and deserves the chance to experience the comfort, companionship, and security of a home where she is truly understood. You can meet her at our Chelsea location.

*Resouce guarding is a fairly common behavior in dogs and in the right home, it’s very manageable. Our staff would be happy to talk to you and provide guidance and tools to best manage this behavior.

We know there are people out there who don’t look for the youngest, the fluffiest, or the most picture-perfect animal. They look for the one who needs them most. The one whose story they can change forever.

Meet Buddy. ❤️

At six years old, Buddy has already endured more hardship than any animal should. We don’t know how long he survived on the streets, but his body tells the story of a life that hasn’t been kind to him.

The tips of his ears are missing, likely from frostbite. His body was covered in scratches and wounds. He’s the most gentle boy so he was definitely getting beat up when he was on the streets. He arrived with ringworm, skin allergies, and FIV, a condition that affects his immune system (it’s similar to a human living with an autoimmune condition) but doesn’t prevent him from living a long, happy life.

And yet, somehow, this boy has the gentlest soul.

Buddy isn’t a fighter. He’s a lover. A lap warmer. A biscuit maker. A sweet, affectionate boy who asks for so little after a lifetime of having so little.

But we want the absolute BEST for him.

Someone who will give him the softness, safety, and love he may never have known.

Because after everything Buddy has survived, wouldn’t it be beautiful if the rest of his story was simply about being loved?

Help us give Buddy the happy ending he deserves. ❤️ Meet him today in Chelsea. He’s doing SO well today. The last video is from when he first arrived.
