Our unique research connects puppy mills and commercial dog breeders across the country to the pet stores and online websites they sell through.
Through Freedom of Information Act requests, our team forensically audits government health records and inspection records and makes that information public in order to provide transparency for the consumer. Below you will find a list of all of the research that we have done into some of the nation’s most notorious businesses. Everything that we do can be independently verified through obtaining FOIA requests from governmental agencies across the country. To make it easy, our research is organized by business designation type, state and business name.
The research we do can be very costly but it has proven to be the most effective tool advocates have in order to create change in their communities. To date we have connected more than 65% of the nation’s puppy-selling stores to the puppy mills and commercial dog breeders they buy from.

Bailing Out Benji is a small nonprofit that started in Ames, Iowa and now has volunteer teams all over the country who are dedicated to raising awareness about the puppy mill industry.
Bailing Out Benji emphasizes the importance of researching pet stores and commercial breeders to uncover the often hidden and unethical practices within the pet trade industry. By providing transparency to the public, we aim to educate consumers about the origins of animals sold in stores and online, while exposing the conditions in which some of these animals are bred and raised. This transparency empowers potential pet owners to make informed decisions, encouraging the adoption of pets from shelters and reputable breeders, ultimately leading to the improvement of animal welfare standards as we move towards a future with no more puppy mills.
The information below was obtained through FOIA requests from various State Departments of Agriculture, as well as information from the USDA and local licensing agencies.
NOTE:
-Before an animal is transported out of state, a veterinarian, accredited by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), must examine the animal for signs of “infectious, contagious or communicable disease” and, if no disease is found, sign the certificate for approval to transport.
To make this easier, we will be breaking our research down alphabetically by each pet store and connecting them to the various puppy mills they use. All of this information has come from the Department of Agriculture and the USDA.
