Meet our handsome, hoppy hunk of a bunny! He’s calm, curious, and enjoys taking in the world at his own pace. Whether he’s stretching out for a good lounge session or investigating new toys and tunnels, he brings a steady, gentle energy to any room.
If you’re ready to add a big-hearted bun to your home, this guy is waiting to meet you!
Rabbits are great pets, but they have very specific care needs that must be taken care of for them to live happy and healthy lives! Make sure you are committed to meeting these requirements if you are thinking of adopting from us!
- They must have a large, clean cage with solid floors and either shredded paper bedding or fleece covering them (wood bedding can cause respiratory illness). They can also be house trained with some patience! Rabbits are very active and smart, so they require lots of space to explore and run around in! In addition to a large area, you will have to give them lots of rabbit-safe toys to play with to keep them occupied and content. Contact us to get a list of appropriate enrichment ideas and cage recommendations!
- They must have a good quality pellet, with no dried fruit, nuts, seeds, colored bits or processed sugary treats. Ingredients like these pose a choking hazard and can also cause illness due to an imbalanced diet. We like to feed our rabbits Oxbow brand rabbit food because it is free from all of the above! Spending a bit more money for good food will save in vet bills later!
- They require vet care. While they don't need vaccinations, they can become ill or have injuries. They need care just like a dog or cat! We can point you in the direction of an exotics vet if you don't have one already!
- They are fragile animals, therefore children must be supervised while handling them.
- We do not adopt out small animals to homes with unfixed animals of the opposite gender. If you feel you are an exception to this, please talk with staff about your situation!

More about this shelter
BRHS formed in 1998 to help the Brookings Animal Control Department find homes for stray animals.The unclaimed, homeless cats and dogs from Animal Control are BRHS' priority. Those unclaimed are transferred to BRHS where they get the necessary wellness care and are spayed/neutered. Animal Control brings any sick or injured animals to BRHS for immediate care.
In 2013 BRHS was very fortunate to move into its present location across from the Brookings Airport. The building was built specifically to house animals and provides a separate dog kennel area, rooms to house cats, natural lighting, and proper ventilation throughout the whole facility. There are also medical isolation, quarantine, treatment, and surgery rooms.
BRHS has been recognized for and has won multiple awards from both city and national organizations, including several Dog Rescue Awards and a nomination for the Governor’s Award.
