BENCHS will be participating in the 15^th annual Give to the Max giving event taking place this year starting on Monday, Nov. 1 and culminating on Thursday, Nov. 16. Give to the Max is a statewide giving event that raises millions each year for more than 6,000 causes across Minnesota and beyond. Considered Minnesota’s holiday for generosity, donors have given more than $290 million since the inaugural Give to the Max Day in 2009.

Each year, BENCHS takes in about 1,000 cats and dogs.  Strays. Surrenders. Transfers from the South. We have provided them a safe haven while waiting for their forever homes and provided veterinary care for every animal that was sick or injured.  All animals have been vaccinated and spayed or neutered. Each day every animal is exercised, fed and cared for. This is costly. We need your help to continue to save lives.
