My story

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

Don’t let the name fool you—this handsome boy is all dog, all heart, and all charm. Kitty came to BENCHS as an unclaimed stray from the City of Mankato, and at just about 1 year old, he’s ready to start fresh with a family who will love him endlessly.

At 68 pounds, Kitty is a big, goofy youngster with plenty of enthusiasm for life. He’s friendly with people, loves attention, and enjoys showing off the commands he already knows. He also rides well in the car, making him a great adventure buddy.

Kitty is dog-selective, and he would do best in a home without cats, as he has a little too much interest in them.

We’re not exactly sure what his breed mix is, but we are sure of this: Kitty is a wonderful young dog with tons of potential. With structure, training, and love, he’s going to make an incredible companion.

If you’re looking for a big-hearted, eager-to-learn best friend—Kitty just might be your guy.

More about this shelter

BENCHS was established in 1969 in Mankato, MN.
We serve Southern MN to help with owner surrenders, stray and unclaimed animals at local impounds.
BENCHS also offers a Food Share Program to help families keep their pets in their homes if they are going through a temporary hardship. As long as we have available donated food, we can have these families come in 2x a month. We may require animals be on a plan to be spay/neutered to receive this help.
