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!

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
This sweet guy may be a little shy at first, but give him some time—and maybe a few tasty treats—and you’ll see his gentle, goofy personality shine through. Obie was found as a stray, so he’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. But once he decides you’re one of the good ones? That’s it. You’re in. Forever. Obie is a very strong boy and will do best with an experienced handler who can help guide him as he continues learning. He’s currently working on taking treats nicely and basic commands, and the good news is—he’s very treat motivated and eager to learn. With consistency and positive reinforcement, he’s going to thrive. He loves quiet moments, soft voices, and people who let him move at his own pace. Obie has done well with other dogs through the fence, but he can sometimes have a hard time with other dominant male dogs. Because of this, he may be happiest as an only dog, where he can soak up all the attention and continue building confidence without competition. Obie would be happiest in a quieter home with someone who enjoys adventures but also appreciates a cozy night in. If you’re patient, kind, and ready to invest in a strong, smart dog who wants to learn and bond deeply, Obie just might be your perfect match. Ready to win this sweet boy’s heart?

Tommy

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 3 yrs 3 mos
Mankato, MN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Tommy’s journey hasn’t been easy, but his heart is pure gold. Originally from California, this 2-year-old boy was once on the euthanasia list before a kind rescuer stepped in to save him. Tommy is already neutered, crate-trained (he won’t potty in his crate and does best if let outside right away). He was born with a condition called Optic Nerve Hypoplasia, which means he has limited vision. Sometimes when he’s nervous, he may circle or seem a little panicked, but a calm, guiding hand quickly reassures him. He also takes glucosamine for occasional joint stiffness. Tommy enjoys being outdoors and loves a good game of fetch, but when storms roll in, he prefers to be safe inside with his people. He thrives on attention and would do best in an active home without lots of obstacles or commotion. Tommy cannot live with cats or small dogs but would do wonderfully with a calm, confident female dog companion. Because of his special needs, prior breed experience and knowledge of caring for a blind dog are required. Tommy has come so far already and is ready to find a loving, patient forever home where he can continue to grow, thrive, and share his boundless loyalty.
