Review for Bailing Out Benji, Ames, IA, USA
Bailing Out Benji is a phenomenal non-profit that prides itself in awareness and being an advocate for those puppy mill dogs that do not have a voice on their own. Being a foster and adoption site for several different rescues over the past 4 years, one of the most common things I hear is I never knew what a puppy mill was. Their stories always go something like this; I purchased my from an ad in the paper or online. They told me I didn’t have to drive to them they would meet me a gas station and pick the puppy for me. Or let me come to their property but we will bring out a few for you to look at and not let us inside or see the parents. With continued education done by Bailing Out Benji the community will continue to learn how we in Iowa are living in the 2nd biggest puppy mill state in the Nation. We need a group out fighting for these dogs and getting the word spread.
For instance these 10 Yorkies that were all turned over by a puppy mill breeder. These dogs had never touched or felt grass, lived in wire cages. All the dogs had never had any vet care, teeth rotting and hanging out of their mouths. One of the dogs did not even have an eyeball, just an open eye. Even though Bailing Out Benji is a nonprofit and solely relies on donations to keep up the education. Bailing Out Benji worked very hard starting and helping a fundraiser to raise over the $8,000 that was racked up in vet costs to get these poor ones treated.
