Hey! I'm Delta! I'm a very good girl, and my people are currently working on training me since I've hit my crazy teenager phase! I love to cuddle, play fetch, and pull the cutest "give me food" face you've ever seen. I am in need of someone who has experience with big breeds and is willing to put the time into training me. I can be fear reactive, we are working on building my confidence in the shelter and have worked on different ways to make me feel more comfortable around new environments. I might benefit from another dog friend to teach me the ropes but my people can't guarantee I'd be good with other dogs yet. If you are interested in me and have another dog we can set a time to have us meet before you adopt and take me home! My people will be very picky about who I go home with so please don't be offended if we say no. Please expect to have to come and visit multiple times before I will be able to go home with you. We are looking for the best option for my future! If you're looking for an energetic, lovable girl, I may just be right for you! Set up an appointment to learn about me and meet me today!

More about this shelter
BENCHS was established in 1969 in Mankato, MN.
We serve city limits stray/unclaimed cats/dogs and personal owner surrenders.
We also work with Blue Earth county and other areas in MInnesota, including some Native American reservations when we are able to.
We have also developed relationships with several groups in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida and North Carolina to help the areas reduce their strays.
BENCHS often help other areas that have experienced natural disasters by taking in some of the animals located in those areas.
We have a heartworm positive dog program which enables us to help dogs who elsewhere would be put down.
