My story

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

Meet Cooper, our delightful 10.75-year-old chocolate lab with a heart full of love and a spirit that thinks he's still a pup!

About Cooper:
Breed: Chocolate Labrador
Age: 10.75 years
Personality: Friendly, Playful, Loving
What Cooper Loves:
People: Cooper adores everyone he meets and will quickly become your best friend. He's never been around young children.
Treats: His favorite treats include popcorn, Honeycrisp apples, and especially eggs. He'd love for you to make him some eggs!
Activities: Cooper thinks he's still a young pup and loves to play fetch and go to the dog park. He enjoys chasing squirrels, bunnies, and even cats.
Cuddles: He’s a big fan of cuddling and will happily snuggle up with you any chance he gets.
Cooper's Skills:
Commands: He knows how to sit, lay down, and come when called.
Potty Trained: Cooper is fully potty trained and very well-behaved indoors.
Cooper's Preferences:
Fireworks and Storms: They don’t bother him at all. He remains calm and relaxed.
Dogs: Cooper prefers to meet other dogs off-leash and can be a little defensive at first when on-leash. But once he gets to know them, he’s very friendly.
Car Rides and Nail Trims: Not a fan of car rides or nail trims, but he’s otherwise easy-goingSince 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.

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.
