Why Adopt?

People who are generous, considerate and have love to give, find that having a companion animal as a member of their family is a wonderful and enriching experience. Companion animals make great friends and can bring joy to every day life.

It's true, a loving relationship with a companion animal is proven to have therapeutic properties! There are so many animals that are abandoned and unwanted that need homes. We think adopting and making a place in your life to care for a pet is well worth the time, expense and effort.

Bideawee promotes and supports safe, healthy, loving relationships betweens people and their pets. Finding caring, forever homes for kittens, puppies, cats and dogs is one way that we fulfill this mission.

Why Adopt from Bideawee?
Bideawee takes in homeless, abandoned, ill and neglected animals and makes a commitment of quality care for every animal in our care. We even have a Canine Bill of Rights and Feline Bill of Rights!

Our full-time licensed veterinarians provide needed medical care to all animals when they arrive, and then monitor their health and well-being daily throughout their stay with us. Our trained adoption center staff provides more than house-keeping and feeding; all Bideawee animals are receive socialization, exercise and other daily activities that let our staff get to know each animal's special personality, so that we can make the best match for you.

We also have on-staff animal behavior specialists that work with all our dogs to teach them important things, such as walking well on a leash, sit, stay and house-breaking. We have animal behavior specialists that work with cats too, helping many a shy cat to overcome their fear. Our Adoption Center volunteers play an important role in helping each animal stay comfortable and feel appreciated and loved while they are at Bideawee.

Before adoption, every animal is spayed/neutered and microchipped. The care and knowledge we have about each animal's personality, health, behavior and special quirks - especially likes belly rubs in the morning or scratches under the chin - and over 100 years of finding loving homes for over one million animals is what makes us the best at helping you find the perfect pet for you!
