“Bideawee’s reputation and respected role in animal welfare and pet safety have been and will continue to be the foundation of our mission,” said Nancy Taylor, president and chief executive officer. “The Bideawee family of pet-loving owners, adopters and volunteers welcomes all to join in this celebratory milestone in Bideawee’s historical legacy.”

Bideawee, which means “stay awhile” in Scottish, is one of the country’s oldest and most respected animal welfare and pet adoption organizations. Founded in 1903 in Manhattan, the Wantagh center was later established to meet heightened animal welfare needs in Nassau County.

Bideawee’s Wantagh campus houses the long-established Pet Memorial Park and is home to the PAWS Center, which is the first stop for rescued and adoptable pets, offering a broad range of intake services to ensure that all of the adoptable animals are healthy and ready for their new, forever homes. The campus also serves as the central location for Last Hope and the Pet Safe Coalition, which is comprised of selfless volunteers that provide pet safety support during times of disaster.
