My story

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

Comet is one of our adorable mixed-breed puppies who came to BENCHS with his siblings and mom when they were just over 7 weeks old. He currently weighs 6.96 lbs and is every bit as bright and sweet as his name suggests!

Comet is social, friendly, and loves interacting with people. He enjoys playtime, exploring new things, and snuggling up with his littermates. Like all young pups, he’ll need an indoor home with a family committed to puppy training, socialization, and helping him learn important skills — including potty training.

Comet will be ready to go home after his neuter in a couple of weeks, and we’re already accepting applications.

If you’re looking for a loving, curious, cheerful little pup to bring joy to your home, Comet might be the perfect match.

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.
