My story

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

Thor is a 5½-year-old small mixed breed who arrived at BENCHS with several other dogs—including some of his own adult puppies! Despite everything he’s been through, Thor has kept his sweet spirit and gentle nature.

This little guy is friendly, social, and incredibly food motivated, which makes training enjoyable for both him and his future family. Thor currently lives with another dog at the shelter and does well with canine companions.

He weighs 18.4 lbs, making him the perfect size for cuddling on the couch or tagging along on daily adventures. Thor may need some continued support with potty training, but with patience, consistency, and all of that treat-motivation, he’ll make great progress.

Thor is ready to start fresh and find a family who will love him for the soft-hearted, loyal little dog he is.

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.
