I have pretty much copied this word for word from the press release sent to me by ABNewswire.
I have known about Bideawee located in NYC for many years--they have always been there to help the animals of NYC. And now they are partnering with Goldman Saks to help the homeless who own pets to get free vet exams!!

Wow! I am so impressed with this post!! I have never heard of this organization before and am thoroughly touched by Bideawee as well as Goldman Sachs! Kudos to them for extending a helping hand to those most in need and caring for their 'best friends'!!
While I have precious little good to say about Goldman Sachs, it's nice that there is a program like this for pets and the homeless. Many homeless love their pets fiercely, it's great that there is some help for them.
Maybe GS start will expressing more public good and less corporate greed. This is a lovely start.
Hope this works out, a pet is a great friend.
I wish more vets would offer this.
I love it that programs like this exist, thanks for sharing with us.
this is a great thing
