Story
Don’t let the name fool you. This handsome boy is all dog, all heart, and full of personality. Kitty came to BENCHS as an unclaimed stray from the City of Mankato, and we have since learned more about his background to help us find the right match for him moving forward. Kitty was previously known as Houston and was rehomed in May 2025. He lived as an indoor dog and did well with people, including children ages 8 to 14. He was crate trained overnight, rides well in the car, and enjoys human attention. He is a smart dog who can open certain doors and may slip out of a tie out if it is not secure, so supervision and good management will be important. Kitty weighs about 68 pounds and was born on April 20, 2023. He is a young, energetic dog with a lot of enthusiasm for life and enjoys showing off the commands he already knows. In his previous home, Kitty lived with dogs and did well with a spayed female, but he was involved in a serious incident with an intact male dog. Because of this history, Kitty is dog selective and would do best as the only dog in the home or with careful, experienced placement. He also has a high prey drive and should not live with cats, chickens, or other small animals. Kitty is a bright, powerful young dog who will need a home that can provide structure, clear boundaries, and continued training. With the right environment and guidance, he has the potential to be a loyal and rewarding companion. If you are an experienced dog owner looking for a confident, intelligent dog and are prepared to meet Kitty’s needs, he may be the right fit for you.

Tommy

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 3 yrs 5 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.

Cole

Husky Labrador Retriever

Male, 3 mos

Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cole is a handsome Lab and Husky mix who joined us at BENCHS from a nearby rescue after arriving as part of a large litter. From the moment he walked through our doors, he has brought that perfect blend of Labrador sweetness and Husky spark that makes him impossible not to love. From his Labrador side, Cole carries that eager to please personality and affectionate nature. He loves being around people, is quick to engage, and thrives on attention and positive interaction. Labs are known for their loyalty, intelligence, and trainability, and Cole is already showing signs that he will be a fun and responsive companion to work with as he grows. From his Husky side, he brings playful energy, curiosity, and a little dash of mischief. Huskies are smart, active, and adventurous, and Cole is no exception. He will need a home that is ready to keep both his body and brain busy with exercise, enrichment, and continued training. A fenced yard or an active lifestyle would suit him well. Cole has lived with other dogs his entire life and is very comfortable in a canine social setting. Because of that, he would be a wonderful candidate for a home looking to add another dog to an established pack. He reads other dogs well, enjoys play, and would likely benefit from having a confident canine companion to grow up alongside. Cole is still a puppy, which means he will need patience, structure, and consistency as he learns the ropes of home life. In return, you will get a loyal, playful, strikingly handsome best friend who is ready to build a lifetime of memories with his family. If you are looking for a smart, social, and spirited addition to your home, Cole might just be your perfect match.
