Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Markie is not your average pit bull—she’s a delightful black and white bundle of joy with a heart full of enthusiasm. This adorable lady lives life with a unique energy, always wagging her tail like it’s the most important task in the world. She’s a house hippo in the truest sense, content to curl up and take in the comforts of her home, but when it’s time to play, she’s all in.
Markie’s enthusiasm is contagious. Whether she’s greeting her humans after a long day or just showing excitement over the smallest things, her tail is always wagging at full speed. It’s as though she wants to share all of her happiness with the world, one enthusiastic tail wag at a time.
Though she’s got a natural charm, Markie is still a work in progress when it comes to learning new commands. She knows how to sit on command, and she’s proud of it, but she’s eager to continue her training. Her intelligence shines through in her willingness to learn, and with a bit of patience and encouragement, there’s no doubt she’ll master more commands in no time.
But Markie’s true superpower is her boundless love and joy for life. Whether she's curling up on the couch or looking for her next adventure, she exudes an infectious spirit that makes everyone around her smile. No matter where life takes her, Markie is always ready to embrace it with a wagging tail and an open heart.
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.

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.
