Raise your hand if you are on TikTok! Now, how many of you have seen puppies for sale there?

We see them. Lots of them.

Our latest investigation into online sellers has uncovered a new type of online dealer. Illegal brokers who buy puppies for cheap and resell them for thousands to unsuspecting customers. We've even connected one active TikTok seller to a $450,000 fraud scheme in Pennsylvania.

No one wants to spend their holiday break at the vet clinic with an emergency case of parvo, Giardia or worse.

If you are getting a new puppy- or pet in general- make sure that you are thoroughly researching before you send the business any money. We are regularly hearing from customers who have to spend thousands at the vet clinic due to contagious illnesses, after having spent an equal amount on their puppy to begin with.

If you know someone who has purchased a puppy that later became sick, have them reach out to us and we can help them file all of the right complaints!

Okay, Texans!
What Texas cities could use a little PSA boost??

Last year we were able to reach over a million people with our puppy mill awareness PSAs during the busiest season for puppy buying! With your help, we can do it again!

We have set up a link on our website where you can donate as little as $25, let us know what community you would like to see our PSAs running, and then we will make it happen. Any funds raised through for this project will go specifically for PSAs in the communities requested!

Here is the link to get started:

Then drop your community in our comments and let everyone know why you want to see more PSAs running! Thank you for helping us

Bring Puppy Mill Awareness to Your Town!

Newspaper ads. The sign on the side of the road. TikTok. Your local store. That pretty website. Anywhere that a breeder can sell, a puppy mill or unscrupulous breeder will find a way to sell there too.
Bad breeders put profits above welfare and they sell puppies anywhere they can for a quick buck. But families can make a different choice, a humane choice, and can help us end puppy mills in the process!

How can a family buying a puppy help us end puppy mills?
Research before you buy.

Ask questions from the breeder's veterinarian.
Verify the breeder's history.

Get to know them in order to make sure your new family member is coming from a place of love not fear.

Not in the market for a puppy? Us either!

But the holidays are prime puppy-buying season and puppy mills know it! So we have to be ready to have conversations with the people in our lives about where to get a pet safely and humanely- even if they aren't choosing to adopt. ESPECIALLY when they aren't choosing to adopt!

We are here to help you either way!

*Cyber Monday Reminder: Not Everything Should Be Available In One-Click*

That "click and ship" puppy you see online today isn’t a great deal- it’s a red flag. Puppy mills thrive on quick sales, emotional marketing, and websites that make it easy to buy first and ask questions later. There are more than 50,000 breeders selling online right now (and less than 10% of them are even licensed). If you aren't making sure that your breeder isn't a puppy mill, then who is?

This Cyber Monday, skip the online puppy listings and take the time to research before you buy. If someone is offering to ship a puppy to your door with no questions asked… it’s not love - it’s shady. At Bailing Out Benji, we can help you learn the difference and avoid supporting cruelty with your clicks.

And if you aren't in the market to buy, then please share our PSA with your community! Those of us that are adoption-first, need to make sure that we are staying open to having these conversations in order to take sales away from puppy mills!

You can view our preliminary research into one puppy-selling website here: https://bailingoutbenji.com/puppiesdotcom/

We all know someone who has bought a puppy- whether that is a neighbor, a coworker, a friend, a family member (or even ourselves!) We can't cut those people out of this discussion, when those are the ones who need to know how to avoid puppy mills the most.

We are at the beginning of prime puppy-buying season and we need you to have these conversations with those in your life who are looking for a new companion. You can encourage adoption and help them see all of the amazing animals that are in shelters and rescues first by looking at Petfinder or AdoptAPet! But for those who are unwilling or unable to adopt, please kindly talk with them about the importance of doing their research before they buy.

Share our nonprofit with them and let them know that we are here to help them avoid falling for a puppy mill, a predatory loan, or an outright scam where the puppy doesn't even exist.

Talking about buying puppies isn't a comfortable conversation for so many of us, but that is why Bailing Out Benji is here to help and we will do it with kindness and compassion. We want to stop people before they support an inhumane facility but we need your help reaching them!

Can you help us have these hard conversations?
