My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hi everyone! My name is Bruce, and I am a very energetic boy. I am Lyme's Disease positive, but that isn't slowing me down! I have been treated for my Lyme's, only thing to keep an eye out for is symptoms as I age but otherwise I'm as healthy as a horse! I love to go hiking in moderation, and have recently found my love for lakes! I haven't figured out how to swim yet, but I am a quick learner. I'd prefer to have a yard to run around in, and I am leash trained! I am house trained and will tell you when I have to go potty! I would benefit from a household that doesn't kennel me when gone due to the kennel being a trigger. I am in need of training and someone who doesn't get scared of me when I get overexcited! I am a big boy looking for a big couch to spend the rest of my life curled up on! If you think we would be a good fit, set up an appointment to meet me today! (:

More about this shelter

BENCHS was established in 1969 in Mankato, MN.
We serve city limits stray/unclaimed cats/dogs and personal owner surrenders.
We also work with Blue Earth county and other areas in MInnesota, including some Native American reservations when we are able to.
We have also developed relationships with several groups in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida and North Carolina to help the areas reduce their strays.
BENCHS often help other areas that have experienced natural disasters by taking in some of the animals located in those areas.
We have a heartworm positive dog program which enables us to help dogs who elsewhere would be put down.
