Bailing Out Benji runs on a small team and a lot of community support. Everything we do — the research, the breeder database, the field visits, the reports — exists because people like you help keep it going. Here’s how.
Whether you can do one of these things, several or even all of them, you are on your way to being a hero for the dogs! We are always looking for ways to showcase how the public is working to end puppy mills, so PLEASE reach out to us and share your contribution!
Bailing Out Benji has many avenues for volunteers and supporters to get involved in our mission. Below are some of our recommended methods!
We’re a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and donations go directly toward research, field work, and keeping our tools free and public. Whether it’s a one-time gift or a monthly commitment, every amount helps us keep doing this work.
Get an inside look at our research, field visits, and the stories behind the data — straight from our team.
We send research updates, breeder database additions, and organizational news straight to your inbox — no fluff, just what’s actually happening.
If you or someone you know is looking for a puppy, our Licensed Breeder Search Engine is the place to start. Search a breeder’s inspection history and compliance record before any money changes hands — and check out our Find a Reputable Breeder guide for what to ask along the way.
Thinking about raising breeder oversight, retail sales rules, or pet store sourcing with your local officials? We can help. Our breeder and pet store law research gives you real data to bring to the conversation — reach out and we’re happy to help you find what’s relevant to your area.
The more people who see our research, the further it goes. Follow us and share what resonates:
If you’ve come across a breeder or facility with concerning conditions, or purchased a sick puppy, let us know. We’ll help point you toward the right agency, or look into it ourselves.
You don’t need to do all of this to make a difference — even one of these, done consistently, helps us keep building the kind of research that didn’t exist before we started tracking it. -> donate
