Story
Meet Nyx — our tiny powerhouse with a big heart! At just 17 pounds, Nyx may be petite, but she is full of life, love, and zoomies. Nearly 2 years old, this beautiful pit mix came to BENCHS with more than 10 other adult dogs from a single home, and she’s been nothing but sweet, spirited, and eager to start her next chapter. Nyx is a high-energy, excitable little firecracker who thrives on activity, playtime, and all the attention she can get. She adores people, leans into affection, and will happily soak up every ounce of love in a home that has room for her joyful personality. She does well with other dogs and would enjoy a canine friend who can match her playful style—though she’d just as happily be the center of someone’s world. Nyx is looking for a home that’s: ✨ Active – walks, playtime, adventures, or backyard games ✨ Affectionate – she wants to be your little shadow ✨ Ready for fun – she brings the energy and the smiles Small, spirited, and overflowing with sweetness, Nyx is truly one of a kind. If you’re searching for a tiny companion with a huge zest for life… Nyx is your girl.

Good with dogs,
Story
Blaze may look like a tiny pit bull puppy, but don’t let those baby-face features fool you—this boy is a full-grown adult, weighing in at just 17 pounds. He’s a compact, gentle, sensitive soul who spent his entire life in one home before coming to us with 10 other dogs from the same household. The sudden transition to shelter life has been overwhelming for him, and he’s still learning how to navigate this big, new world. Blaze is a sweet, soft, emotional little guy. In the kennel, he struggles with stress and can shut down, but once he’s out with someone he trusts, he starts to shine. During his one-on-one sessions, he warms up quickly—leaning in for comfort, taking treats, and relaxing right into your arms. He wants so badly to be brave; he just needs someone patient enough to guide him. Blaze does wonderfully with other dogs and would greatly benefit from living with a confident, social, happy adult dog who can help show him the ropes. He looks to other dogs for reassurance, and he blossoms when he has a buddy to follow. A calm, patient home A friendly dog companion to build his confidence Someone who understands that transitioning from his first and only home into the shelter has been hard on him Kind handling, consistency, and time to feel safe Blaze isn’t just cute—he’s resilient. Beneath the trembling and uncertainty is a dog who is trying so hard to be brave, who relaxes into gentle hands, and who wants nothing more than to feel secure again. With love, routine, and a steady dog friend by his side, he will absolutely thrive.

Story
Maxton came to BENCHS from the Mankato Animal Impound as an unclaimed City of Mankato stray, and he has quickly shown us what a bright, animated boy he is. Estimated to be about 3½ (nearly 4) years old and weighing just over 50 lbs, he’s the perfect mix of youthful energy and grown-up charm. This handsome guy is very smart — he already knows sit, shake, and high-five, and he’ll proudly show them off for a tasty treat. He’s incredibly food motivated, eager to learn, and would thrive with someone who enjoys continuing his training. Maxton is affectionate and expressive, often leaning in for attention or chatting with you in his vocal, goofy way. He’s a dog with personality and heart, and he’ll keep you entertained every day. He may be selective with other dogs, and we’re not sure how he feels about cats yet. We are recommending a home without very small children, simply because when he gets excited, he can take treats a bit rough — nothing a little polishing and consistency won’t help smooth out. If you’re looking for a smart, fun, loving companion who’s ready to learn and bond deeply with his person, Maxton might be your boy. Come meet him and let him show you his high-five!
