My story

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

Hi there I'm Atlas! I am a young energetic puppy looking for a forever home. I can be jumpy at times but I am very smart and would just need some training! I love to cuddle after getting my energy out! I could be your next couch potato!! I know my basic manners but sometimes I get so excited that I forget everything I learn! I am very good at not going potty inside and just need a family to love me for the rest of my days! I am a baby so sometimes I can be mouthy but I know the limits and won't go too crazy, it's my jumping that makes me special! I love hanging around with my tongue out for pictures! If you think we would be a great fit, schedule an appointment to visit 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.
