2022: Manhattan Voted Bideawee Best Animal Shelter!
Bideawee
410 E 38th St
(866) 262-8133
With operations across the Tri-State area, Bideawee is not just a shelter for stray pets — it’s an organization that cares for needy animals, helps seniors, and provides therapeutic initiatives for children. Founded 117 years ago, Bideawee and their amazing staff take incredible care of the animals at their facilities, and help provide any assistance (behavioral, medical, or otherwise) that they may need. The ultimate goal is to pair the animals with new, loving homes for the long term, while also offering the chance to foster pets for short times to give them a break from the shelter system. In addition to caring for animals, they launched one of America’s first animal-assisted therapy programs to bring the benefits of the human-animal bond to vulnerable populations, such as seniors or the disabled, which brings big smileys to the faces of those in the most need. They also offer a “Reading to Dogs Program” which allows children to find therapy and improve their reading skills with the help of some four-legged friends. If you’re looking to adopt, foster or volunteer, Bideawee is the place to go.
