    Introducing…Chewy!

    March 29, 2015 /

    Click photos to view larger! Delia has a new puppy brother. Meet Chewy! He’s an 8-month old Kyi-Leo, or better known as a Lhasa-Apso/Maltese mix. Meet Chewy! Chewy was a regular at the doggie daycare/pet hotel where I work, and since I had been thinking of adopting a friend for Delia, my awesome bosses told me he was looking for a new home. Chewy loves doggie daycare! He is the perfect addition to our family! He is the best puppy brother Delia could ever want. She wasn’t thrilled about this new little brother at first, but she is warming up to him. Delia loves to be chased, and Chewy loves…

    Delia’s Dish: Peanut Butter, Bacon and Banana Dog Treat Recipe

    February 16, 2015 /

    It’s Spoil Your Pet Month, and even though I spoil Delia every day, I baked some special treats for her with three of her favorites…bacon, bananas, and peanut butter. She loved them so much she actually begged for more!  I followed this recipe from Epicurious with a little tweaking. (I didn’t have any flax seeds, so we skipped those, and we didn’t baste them with the honey mixture before baking because I was going to dip them in carob, but changed my mind after baking. She still loved them.) Here’s what I used: 1 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour 1 tbsp of honey 3 strips of bacon finely chopped 1 large…

    My Failure at Delia’s Dental Care Routine and How I Plan to Fix It

    February 12, 2015 /

    Delia has horrible breath. It is my fault. We used to brush her teeth at least three times a week, but she put up such a fight, I felt terrible, so I stopped, which was worse for her in the long run. I’ve bought countless dental treats, water additives, and numerous flavors of toothpaste. I’m convinced she’s got to be one of the pickiest dogs on the planet. She won’t eat any of the chews, stops drinking the water with the additives and runs at the sight of a toothbrush. It doesn’t matter if it is a brush, a finger brush, or what. She wants no part of it. The…

    The Mission to Bring Randy the Pig Home

    Photo courtesy of Dawn Blackburn. An animal is surrendered to a shelter. This animal has a loving home to return to. The animal is being held in quarantine for 30 days, then will be evaluated for adoption. Again, this animal has a loving home waiting, with a woman who WANTS to care for him. A woman who knows his needs better than the organization currently in possession of him. An organization that admitted to her to not being able to properly care for this animal before transferring him to Longmeadow Rescue Ranch. An organization that stated that it did not have room for this animal at the ranch due to…

    This is week three of the 52 Snapshots of Life photo challenge hosted by The Lazy Pitbull. This week’s theme is Joyful and Delia’s play was indeed joyful. Not only for her, but I can’t help but feel joyful watching her play so happily. For the first time in weeks, the weather was warm enough for Delia to play outside this past weekend. Playing fetch outside made this little dog truly joyful! Click photo to view larger. Check out the other bloggers participating in the 52 Snapshots of Life photo challenge and feel free to join in!

Posted @withregram โ€ข @bailing_out_benji Today is Posted @withregram โ€ข @bailing_out_benji Today is Puppy Mill Awareness Day! 

Can you help us spread the word about this cruel industry by telling at least one person about puppy mills? 

Here are a few quick facts: 

- 75% of the puppy mills in the United States can be found in 8 Midwest states (Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma and Wisconsin). 

- There are approximately 600 active puppy-selling stores in the United States and our research shows that the majority of the puppies are coming from puppy mills and large scale commercial dog breeders, many of whom have violations. Bailing Out Benji has publicly connected many of these stores to the facilities they buy from. 

https://bailingoutbenji.com/puppy-mill-maps/cvi-data/

- Over 475 localities and 7 states have enacted ordinances that prevent or regulate puppy mills from selling puppies through pet stores. 

Resources to tune in to: 
* Dog by Dog: Documentary about the dark money behind puppy mills. Can be found on numerous streaming sites! 

* Puppy Kingpin: A Sony Productions Podcast that dives deep into the world of puppy mills becoming nonprofit โ€œrescuesโ€. 

* The Doggie in the Window: A phenomenal true story that follows a journalist as she uncovers the cruel puppy mill world that her new puppy was born from. 

If you or someone else wants to get involved with our nonprofit and help us with our mission to end puppy mill cruelty, please contact us about becoming a volunteer or supporter!

What a beautiful day for the @apaofmo Canine Carni What a beautiful day for the @apaofmo Canine Carnival ๐Ÿพ

We were able to share @bailing_out_benji work and educate about puppy mills!
๐Ÿ’œOne of the highlights of the day for me was meeting sweet little Rosie.๐ŸŒน She spent the first 9 mos of her life as an Envigo beagle, being used for inhumane testing. Before her parents adopted her, she was known as CMKCEU, her tag number, which is also tattooed on her ear. She has adjusted to the life she deserves with her family, surrounded by love. She's a happy, sweet girl!

These healthy chews are made from yak milk, high in protein, easily digestible, and truly long-lasting. He's been working on this chew for a week!
