Ears looking at you, kid 🧡
✨MEET CUDDY✨
9 months old
Cuddy was found as a stray in Georgia, roaming the streets going up to people 😭 The municipal shelter placed her on a euthanasia list due to overcrowding, until @bideawee saved her at the last second and brought her to their Manhattan location.
When I met her, she was so sweet and curious and IMMEDIATELY cuddly. She loved riding in the backpack, did well on walks and loved being chased at the park. She also loves falling into you to snuggle.

Good things come to those who wait 🍀
✨MEET CLOVER✨
2 years old
Clover has been in and out of the shelter since she was born due to changing circumstances of those that previously adopted her. She is great in a home and great with kids. She was really shy at first but warmed up and was so outgoing and curious.

Protect her at all costs 🥺
✨MEET WILLOW✨
2.5 years old
Willow came to Bideawee all the way from Tennessee when she was a puppy. After being attacked at the dog park, she became reactive around other dogs, which made city life really hard for her and her adoptive family. She was returned earlier this month and honestly she just needs space to be a dog. Give her a yard, some grass, and a good stick and she is in heaven. She’s calm, gentle with kids, and an absolute sweetheart. She just needs a home where she can breathe.

Kinda Interesting Things #373: The History of @bideawee, One of The Oldest Animal Welfare Orgs in the Country
If you’re walking along West 24th Street in Chelsea, you’ll come across this pet adoption center. But it has a history that goes back more than 120 years. Bideawee was founded in 1903 by Flora Kibbe, who was inspired to start an animal rescue after visiting a dog refuge in Paris. She named it Bideawee, a Scottish expression meaning “stay a while.”
In 1912, the organization opened a shelter on East 38th Street, near the East River. But there’s a dark story behind that location.
Back in the 1800s, New York City captured stray dogs and killed them, sometimes by drowning them in the East River. One of the city’s dog pounds operated from a barge at the foot of East 26th Street. In 1867, The New York Times described the practice as “drowning in the canine bath tub.” According to Bideawee, Flora Kibbe chose a nearby location so the organization could help save animals from that fate.
Today, Bideawee does much more than find pets new homes. It provides veterinary care, runs fostering and volunteer programs, works with feral cats, and operates two pet cemeteries on Long Island. More than 120 years later, it’s still helping animals find care, shelter, and a place to call home.

✨MEET SCOOBY DOO✨
11 months old
Scoopy Doo was rescued off the streets and taken to a shelter in Georgia. While he was there, nobody expressed any interest in him, so he was in danger of being euthanized before @bideawee came to the rescue and transported him to their shelter in NYC!

🐾💙 HAPPY FOSTER MONDAY! SAY HI TO PHANTOM! 💙🐾
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 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.
