Bailing Out Benji is a renowned non-profit organization dedicated to researching puppy mills and exposing their connection to pet stores and online websites. Their mission is to put an end to these inhumane breeding facilities through extensive research, education, and advocacy. A puppy mill is akin to a factory farm for puppies, where profit takes precedence over the welfare of the dogs.

The parent dogs endure a cycle of continuous breeding until their bodies give out. They are confined to cramped cages, never experiencing the touch of the ground, and are deprived of proper nutrition, clean water, and medical care. The breeders view these dogs solely as commodities rather than beloved pets.

There are approximately 10,000 puppy mills in the United States, both licensed and unlicensed, with an estimated 1,011,046 puppies being produced by USDA licensed facilities annually. Contrary to popular belief, puppy mills are legal, and their puppies are often sold in pet stores, newspapers, or through websites that deliver them straight to your doorstep. Bailing Out Benji's dedicated volunteers work tirelessly to raise awareness about the puppy mill industry and its ties to pet stores.

They provide invaluable resources such as puppy mill maps by state, CVI data showcasing which puppy mills pet stores purchase from, and dispelling common misconceptions about the industry. Join Bailing Out Benji on their mission to #EndPuppyMills by supporting their cause, making a donation, or staying informed through their social media channels. Together, we can create a world where dogs are treated with the love and care they deserve
