My story

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

Bart is a silly, affectionate, and incredibly sweet mixed breed boy currently weighing about 25 pounds. He is still growing and is expected to be a large, Lab sized dog when fully grown.

Bart has lived with other dogs his entire life and would be a wonderful addition to a home with current canine companions. He absolutely loves people and is a champion face licker, always happy to give kisses to anyone willing to accept them. His gentle, loving nature and very sweet disposition make him especially easy to fall for.

Bart enjoys being part of the action, whether he’s playing, cuddling, or spending time with his humans and dog friends. He’s eagerly looking forward to finding his forever home and the family who will cherish him for the affectionate, happy pup 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.
