Story
Java is very sweet and loves to play! She enjoys being outside, hiking and loves going to dog parks to meet new fur friends. She’s great with people and children. She’s very friendly and always has a huge smile on her face! She understands commands like “sit”, “stay”, “food” (when its time to eat) and “come here girl!” both in English and in American Sign language. She is incredibly smart and a fast learner! She’s great with cuddles, enjoys playing fetch and loves her squeaky toys! Ideally, we are looking for someone who doesn't have cats.

Story
This handsome man is named JP! Donning a fantastic obsidian and gold coat, floppy ears, and the most heart-melting eyes, it's impossible not to swoon over him. As if being wonderful isn't enough, thanks to a generous donation by one of his many fans, his adoption fee has already been covered; all he needs now is a loving family! JP is every bit as sweet with his beloved friends as he is irresistible, he encompasses only the loveliest qualities. A man who loves to follow his nose, he is also known to take the trails of Westhampton by storm! Walks with his people pals through the woods are quite a cherished pastime for him. Now and again, he'll also happily trot around our Park as well, to stretch those long legs and sniff about. When not out and about, you can expect to find him having a snooze on the sofa, or enjoying a dessert of tasty cheese or chicken. JP is a snack connoisseur! He is seeking a patient, loving home, with older children and no other animals, that will help him to feel comfortable and safe, as we all deserve to. Thanks to a generous donation, his adoption fee has already been covered; all he needs now is a loving family! JP is a member of our Oh Behave! Training Academy! JP and his fellow pup students each have their own story as to why they've had a harder time finding a home, but we see so much potential in every one of these cuties and know that with a little guidance they can become the best friend you've always been looking for, which is why we are so excited to be able to provide this opportunity! As we want to set these pups up for success in their new homes, Bideawee will be sponsoring a free 4-week training package with our partner GoodPup, an incredible organization with a long-standing history of working with dogs and dog parents to produce happy and well-socialized four-legged family members! This cutie resides at our Westhampton location! Prior to adoption, all of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped and given their age-appropriate vaccines. If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please contact us for further information on him and we can schedule an appointment for you to meet him.

Story
This beautiful and unique-looking lady is named Riley. Donning a caramel and chocolate brindle coat, and eyes like melted brownies, she can make you fall head over feet in love! Riley is seeking a loving and jubilant adult-only home, that has the gusto for a spirited lady, but will also give her the time that she deserves to become comfortable and settle in. New people make her nervous, so she'll need her future family to let her get cozy with them at her own pace. She'd also be best as the only four-legged family member in the home. Riley's adoption fee has been paid for by a generous donation from CCP Solutions! Riley is a member of our Oh Behave! Training Academy! Riley and her fellow pup students each have their own story as to why they've had a harder time finding a home, but we see so much potential in every one of these cuties and know that with a little guidance they can become the best friend you've always been looking for, which is why we are so excited to be able to provide this opportunity!

These pups are so deserving of loving homes, and we know this will help them start out on the right paw. This cutie resides at our Westhampton location! Prior to adoption, all of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped and given their age-appropriate vaccines.

Story
Molly is a sweet active pooch, that everyone here adores. She warms up quickly, and then becomes a loving, gentle friend to all of her people pals. As Molly is a bit bashful initially, she would be best in a home with older, gentle children over 12. She would also be best in the home where she can be your only four-legged family members. Molly will absolutely thrive in any household that can help to build up her confidence, and teach her to be more comfortable standing on her own paws. Weighing in at 48 pounds, she is a wonderful medium-sized pooch. This cutie resides at our Westhampton location! Prior to adoption, all of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped and given their age-appropriate vaccines. If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please contact us for further information on him and we can schedule an appointment for you to meet her.

Story
Who is that handsome boy in the all white suit you may ask? It's none other than Melo, charmer extraordinaire. Melo pulls out all the stops when it comes to wooing his people pals. As if he couldn't be cuter, you can literally "tickle him pink" as Melo has a tendency to turn a rosy hue when excited and ready for snuggles. Melo is on the search for a very special forever family, that can provide him with the perfect home. He is looking for a home in a quiet suburban or rural area, where there is a fully fenced in yard, with no other animals. However, there is more than enough of Melo to go around, so he's the only four-legged family member you'll need! A family that has previous experience with his needs is also idyllic. Melo is also seeking adopters with older children, as he enthusiastically plays and snuggles, and throws around all of his 50 pounds with lots of love and gusto. This cutie resides at our Westhampton location! Prior to adoption, all of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped and given their age-appropriate vaccines. If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please contact us for further information on him and we can schedule an appointment for you to meet him.

Story
Check out the smile on our handsome boy! He aims to please and sometimes will make you think he is one step ahead of you. He is not for a first-time dog owner; he needs an experienced, persistent person and someone familiar with his mix. Bentley is part herding breed with energy and enthusiasm, but it's all part of his charm. He needs room to run, exercise, and a lot of mental stimulation. He loves to work, train and play. Bentley would do best in an adult active home. Bentley is not afraid to assert his own opinions, especially if he thinks he knows better. Despite his tough, quirky and independent exterior, Bentley does have a soft side that loves to cuddle and be always by your side. If you are interested in adopting or fostering, please contact us for further information on him and we can schedule an appointment for you to meet him.
