Check out our sister brand, Kinship, for vet chat, a nutrition calculator, basic obedience training, and (much) more. So you're never flying solo in this pet parenting thing.
Hi I'm Fried Chicken! They gave me that name because when I came in I totally looked like it! My name can be changed but this personality won't! I'm a fun loving, crazy girl who has been through a lot. I have many scars but you would never believe I've ever been wronged! I am looking for someone to train me a bit but also shower me with the love and affection I deserve! I will note that I'd do best in a home without other animals, eventually after aging and calming down I might get along with another animal, but it is not a guarantee. If you think we could be lifelong best friends, please set up a meeting with me!

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.
