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.

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!

Story
Meet Obie! 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. He loves quiet moments, soft voices, and people who let him move at his own pace. He’s done well with other dogs through the fence, so he might enjoy a calm, friendly pup sibling—he just needs a proper intro. 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 looking for a loyal best friend, Obie just might be your perfect match. Ready to win this sweet boy’s heart?

Navi is a stunning female pit bull mix who came to BENCHS as an unclaimed City of Mankato stray. From the moment she arrived, her gentle heart and affectionate nature have shined through. This sweet girl is searching for a home where she can be your one and only. Navi is reactive to other animals, so she’ll need a pet-free home — but she promises to fill that space with more than enough love all on her own. Because of her impressive strength, she’s also looking for a home without small children. Navi would thrive with a fenced-in yard where she can safely stretch her legs, explore, and soak up the sunshine. She’s friendly, people-oriented, and loves nothing more than being close to her humans. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who just wants a place to call home, Navi might be your girl. 💛 Come meet her and see why she has captured our hearts!

Story
Harold came to us as an unclaimed stray who was sadly facing euthanasia, and we’re so grateful he’s now getting the second chance he deserves. From the moment he arrived, Harold has shown what a truly sweet dog he is. He loves people, leans in for affection, and is very food-motivated, which makes him fun and easy to work with. Harold seems like he may do well with other dogs—he’s been calm and friendly on his slab and does great with his neighbor dogs. With proper introductions, he may enjoy having a canine friend. Harold is Lyme disease positive, but he hasn’t shown any symptoms so far. He will need an adopter who’s willing to keep a close eye on his health and make sure he gets the care he needs moving forward. He’s a gentle, affectionate boy who just wants a safe home and someone to love him. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and a lot of potential, Harold might be the perfect match.

Story
🐾 Meet Mouse! 🐾 (Yes, that’s really his name—and no, he’s definitely not tiny!) Mouse is a bully breed mix who came to us as an unclaimed county stray. At just under 75 pounds, he’s a big guy with an even bigger heart. We’re estimating his age based on his teeth since his past is a bit of a mystery. Despite his size, Mouse is a sweet, affectionate boy who lives for his people. He leans in for cuddles, follows you like a shadow, and once he decides you’re his person, he’ll be your most loyal fan through thick and thin. Protective? A bit. Loyal? Absolutely. Mouse is also very food motivated (he already knows “sit”!) and would do well with continued training using positive reinforcement. He can be a little independent and aloof at times, but when he’s in the mood for love, he pours his whole heart into it. 🐶 With Other Animals Dogs: Mouse is interested in other dogs and loves to play, sometimes a little too enthusiastically. Slow, thoughtful introductions and supervised playdates are best to set him up for success. Cats: Mouse is not a fan of cats and will need a cat-free home. Other animals: He can get worked up around barriers (like fences or leashes) and may be reactive when he sees something exciting—think squirrels or, yes, cats. 🌟 The Home He Needs Mouse is looking for an experienced owner who understands reactivity and can give him the patience, structure, and guidance he needs to shine. With consistency and love, he will be a truly incredible companion. 💛 Mouse is a really special dog with so much love to give. If you’ve got dog experience and a cat-free couch to share, Mouse would love to meet you.
