My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

These two parakeets are a bonded pair and very much a package deal. While we don’t know a ton about their backstory, what we do know is that they’re lively, curious, and always up to something important (mostly chirping, hopping, and judging you silently from their perch).

Nico and Pedro are still getting used to people, so they may be more “watch from afar” than “sit on your shoulder” right now—but parakeets are social little creatures, and with patience, time, and treats, they may surprise you. At the very least, they’ll provide nonstop entertainment and commentary throughout your day.

If you’re looking for two small birds with big personalities, a love of hanging out together, and strong animated-movie energy, Nico and Pedro might be your perfect match. Bonus points if you hum the Rio soundtrack while cleaning their cage.

Meet and greet/adoption 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!

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.
