Bideawee is one of the oldest animal welfare organizations and pet adoption agencies in New York City and the country. Established in 1903, Bideawee creates and strengthens the human-animal bond through best-in-class rescue and compassionate care for dogs and cats and the people who love them. In more than 120 years of service, Bideawee has found homes for thousands of NYC rescue dogs, cats, kittens & puppies that once had little hope for survival. Our Chelsea Adoption Center in NYC is a safe haven for homeless dogs, cats, kittens & puppies looking for their forever homes. We strive to provide the highest-quality animal shelter experience, and firmly believe that pet adoption is not just a transaction but a meaningful relationship.
