Bailing Out Benji disseminates information about the dog breeding and selling industry to the general public through multiple media channels, including its website, social media platforms, and podcast, and through in-person, volunteer-led public events. The organization produces and distributes content designed to help individuals make informed decisions when acquiring a pet, developing policies and regulations, or advocating for changes in the industry. Public outreach efforts also include the development and maintenance of a publicly accessible licensed breeder search engine, enabling consumers and advocates to research licensed breeders at the state and federal level. Bailing Out Benji's outreach materials are used by advocates, policymakers, and puppy buyers nationwide.

Bailing Out Benji's unique research program collects, catalogs, and conducts forensic analysis on extensive data from government inspection reports, health records, lawsuits, and more, to spark change within the puppy mill, commercial dog breeding, and pet acquisition industries. Our research is used to flag habitual violators, expose sham rescue operations, and produce national datasets on licensed breeder violations, broker supply chains, and retail compliance. Research findings are made available to the public, and are actively used by legislators, regulators, law enforcement, and animal advocates to inform policy development and regulatory reform efforts.

At Bailing Out Benji, we believe you can't help animals without first helping the people who love those animals. Our Benji Cares program has been able to make an immeasurable impact on thousands of families who were experiencing financial hardship and needed a partner to help them get through. Our pet food pantry and pet wellness clinics provide essential support to pet owners in times of need, removing barriers that often lead families to surrender their pets to shelters. This allows pets to stay in homes and reduces strain on local shelters. In 2025, we served an average of 88 families each month at our pet food pantry and provided 361 vaccines and microchips to 165 pets free of charge at our annual Pet Wellness Clinic.
