For these dogs and cats, this Saturday is more than just another day; it’s a chance to find a family. ❤️

Join us for Clear the Shelters on August 1, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at our Chelsea and Westhampton Adoption Centers or our Mobile Adoption Van at PetSmart on 24th Street. Adoption fees will be waived during the event.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, there’s never been a better time to stop by. And if you can’t adopt, sharing this post is a wonderful way to help our animals find the families they’ve been waiting for.

Head to www.bideawee.org for more information.

On July 14th, almost a full two months after Bonnett arrived at Bideawee (after she was rescued from a municipal shelter in Georgia), one of our lovely foster families offered to give her a break from the shelter. They only spend a few weeks in the area every summer but in those weeks, they routinely open their temporary home to one of our dogs. We can’t overestimate what this means to us, and the dogs who spend these weeks decompressing and enjoying all the comforts and joys of a home and a family.

Bonnett was a wonderful dog, even in the shelter, so we were thrilled when she struck the jackpot and was chosen for this sweet summer sabbatical. And her foster family couldn’t live her more. Here are some notes from them:

She’s a dream! She’s affectionate, crate-trained, loved going on a morning jog with us, is amazing on car rides and experienced her first trip to the beach! She was a little overwhelmed at first but her confidence is growing every day! ❤️

Her wonderful fosters will be leaving in mid-August and will have to return he to the shelter, but their hearts are breaking at the thought of her going back to a kennel. 💔

Bonnett is such a sweet family dog and we are all desperate to see her adopted before her foster family has to return her so that she never has to set foot inside a kennel again.

If you are looking for a four-legged best friend, please consider Bonnett. You can meet her by submitting an online application. And please share this post!

We’d really like to have a word with whoever keeps scrolling past Angelina.

She’s 8 months old, sweet as can be, playful, adorable, and somehow still waiting for a family weeks after arriving. Honestly? We thought she’d be out the door on day one.

She’s full of puppy fun, loves being with people, and is ready to make someone very lucky.

Angelina is waiting to meet you at our Chelsea Adoption Center. Stop by and say hello, or visit www.bideawee.org to learn more.

When Georgia arrived at Bideawee, it was clear she had been through far more than any dog should. She was severely underweight and dealing with several issues that required lots of medical care.

Fast forward to today, and Georgia is thriving. She has gained weight, loves to play, enjoys relaxing in the sunshine, and is always happy to spend time with people. She’s left her difficult past behind and is ready for the bright future she deserves.

If you’re looking for a sweet, resilient companion, Georgia is ready to meet you.

Visit Georgia at our Westhampton location, or learn more and submit an application at www.bideawee.org.

Meet Tony, a handsome boy who’s been with us for years and is still waiting for the family he’s always deserved.

Tony wasn’t properly socialized as a puppy before he came to us, so new people and experiences can be overwhelming. Thanks to the love and dedication of our staff, he’s made wonderful progress over the years. At our Westhampton location, you’ll often find him running in the yard, enjoying the outdoors, and spending time with the people he trusts.

Over the years, Tony has spent far too many birthdays and holidays with his Bideawee family instead of a family of his own. We love him dearly, but we’d love nothing more than to see him finally experience life in a forever home.

We’re looking for a special adopter who is willing to continue working with Tony on his behavioral needs, and our team will be there to support you every step of the way. We know the right person is out there.

Visit www.bideawee.org to learn more about Tony and our other available pets. If you’re not in a position to adopt, you can still make a difference by sponsoring Tony. Visit our website to learn more about our sponsorship program and help support him while he waits for his forever family.
