Our Mission
The Blue Earth Nicollet County Humane Society (BENCHS) is a non-profit organization dedicated to finding loving forever homes for homeless cats and dogs, using spay/neuter programs to reduce the number of unwanted pets, and reuniting lost and found animals with their owners.
Our Core Values
At BENCHS we…
- Show Compassion for animals and humans by demonstrating empathy and respect.
- Encourage Teamwork for the common good of the animals and people we serve.
- Exhibit Honesty and Integrity in what we say, do and think.
- Strive for Continuous Improvement by imagining the possible, challenging constraints and driving progress.
Read Some Of Our Success Stories
We receive wonderful stories of BENCHS alumni on a regular basis, and we want to thank those who take the time to share them with us. We are invested in each and every pet we care for, and we want the best for them! This is why we do what we do. This is why you give, volunteer, adopt, and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same.
