Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Say hello to Scup, a domestic shorthair with a striking black and grey marbled coat that resembles the swirling currents of the ocean floor. Named after the scup fish, a coastal favorite known for its understated beauty, Scup may start off shy, but once he feels safe, he’ll show you his true colors—a deep, friendly affection that will reel you in.
At first, Scup is like a cautious fish in a reef, preferring to dart into his cozy hiding spots while he studies his surroundings. He takes his time to warm up, but once he senses kindness and patience, his walls come down, and he becomes a loyal and loving companion.
Scup’s favorite activity is receiving booty scratches, which make him arch his back and wiggle in delight, much like a playful fish splashing in calm waters. His purrs are as soothing as ocean waves, and his friendly demeanor, once unlocked, will make you feel like you’ve discovered a hidden underwater treasure.
With his mesmerizing marbled coat and big, soulful eyes, Scup is as captivating as watching fish dart through a coral reef. He’s the perfect companion for someone who appreciates the quiet beauty of a bond that takes time to grow. Once he’s opened up to you, Scup’s love and trust will make you feel like the luckiest person in the world.
If you’re ready to cast your line and bring Scup into your home, he’s ready to be the catch of a lifetime.
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.

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.
