Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Matteo, a 2-year-old red and black Shepherd mix weighing around 76 pounds. Matteo is still learning potty training, but he does a great job keeping his kennel clean. He can be a little nervous around new people, but he’s eager to learn and highly motivated by food. Matteo doesn’t know any commands yet, but with patience and positive reinforcement, he’s ready to start his training journey.
Because of his past time on the run, Matteo would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard and plenty of supervision. We aren’t sure how he does with children, cats, or other dogs, so a dog meet-and-greet is recommended if you already have a canine companion. With the right guidance and a patient family, Matteo has the potential to be a loyal and loving companion.
Since many of our adoptable dogs are in foster homes, appointments are highly recommended to ensure the animal you are interested in is currently at the shelter. Please call or e-mail the shelter to set up an appointment to meet and adopt!
Our adoption fees include the following: all of our dogs/puppies are current on vaccinations (DHPP and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, heartworm tested and current on preventative, microchipped, treated for fleas/ticks and are spayed or neutered. Our large dog adoption fee is generally $175 + tax. Our small dog and puppy adoption fee is generally $275+ tax. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances. Due to space limitations, we do not hold dogs.
Because we are on a busy street, we require that all dogs leaving the shelter be in a carrier or on leash. All pets remain up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee paid.

Our cats/kittens are generally $25-$105 + tax (up to date on vaccinations, spayed/neutered and microchipped).

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.
