Here's what the humans have to say about me:
With proper introductions, Bernice can warm up to other animals, though she likes to take her time. She’s independent and loves to roam wherever her heart desires, so make sure to watch out where you walk!
What makes Bernice truly special is her Cerebellar Hypoplasia, often called wobbly cat syndrome. This lifelong condition affects her coordination, giving her a distinctive and endearing wobble. While it doesn’t cause her pain and won’t worsen over time, Bernice thrives in a predictable environment where she feels safe. She must remain an indoor cat to ensure her safety, as her condition makes outdoor life too risky.
Although declawing is not beneficial for any cat’s health, it is especially important for Bernice not to be declawed. Her claws are essential for traction and controlling her wobbliness, helping her navigate her world with confidence. If you’re ready to provide Bernice with the love, understanding, and stability she deserves, she’ll reward you with a lifetime of companionship and charm.
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!
DON'T FORGET! Cats often do better with a friend! All our cats and kittens have an "Adopt one and the 2nd at half the adoption fee!" bonus!!!
Our kitten/cat adoption fees vary on age, special needs, lonely heart status (cats that have been with us 6+ months), and for our senior to seniors program. Our adoption fees include the following: all of our cats/kittens are current on vaccinations (FVRCP series and Rabies if over 3 months of age) at the point of adoption, dewormed, tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), treated for fleas/ticks/earmites in addition to being spayed or neutered once the cat reaches 2 lbs in weight. All cats and kittens adopted from the shelter are microchipped. Adoption fees may vary in special circumstances.
Because we are on a busy street, we require that all cats leaving the shelter be in a carrier. All pets are up for adoption until an approved application is processed and their adoption fee is paid.

We have a brief adoption application. Our adoption fees vary based on type of animal.
Once your application is approved, our animals are usually able to go home the same day!
Our dogs are generally $150-350+tax (everyone is spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped etc!)
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.
