Support from caring individuals such as yourself ensures that the humane society is able to meet its mission. The BRHS relies solely on personal donations and our fundraising events for funding; we are NOT affiliated with the HSUS or any other humane society, government, city, or national group and do not receive money from any national organization.

Time and Talent:
If you aren't able to donate money, consider donating your time. The BRHS is always looking for volunteers in order to help the animals. If you are looking for ways that you can help, feel free to stop down and pick up a volunteer application or download and print one by clicking here. There are so many ways that you can get involved: designing posters or handing them out, replacing broken light bulbs or fixing leaky faucets, helping at fundraising events, walking and bathing dogs, grooming cats, being a part of our fundraising committee, and of course we'll never turn down help with scooping litter boxes!

Items:
The BRHS uses many items on a daily basis to assure the animals get the care they need while waiting for their forever home. We welcome donations of towels, rags and bedding (no oil rags please). Small animal cages, dog crates and carriers, cat carriers and condos, small animal food, canned pet food, unused medications and medical supplies for animals, cleaning supplies (non-carpet), dog/cat shampoo. Our most heavily used items are:

• Paper Towels
• Liquid Bleach
• Laundry Detergent
• Glass Cleaner (we accept refills)
• Antibacterial Dish Soap (we accept refills)
• Antibacterial Hand Soap (we accept refills)
• Hand Sanitizer (we accept refills)
• Dust-Free Clay Kitty Litter
• White Printer Paper
• First-Class and Postcard Postage
• Small Animal Food/Treats
• Canned Animal Food (any brand)
• Pet Food*
• Heavy Duty Leashes
• Collars (All Sizes)
• KURANDA** Beds or PVC Beds
• Gift Cards from HyVee, Walmart or Runnings

*It is healthier for our animals to stay on one consistent brand of food, but while our animals may only be able to use one brand, donations of other foods are welcome. We appreciate every donation and we never throw useable items away. We work with other rescues in the state and region who need supplies like pet food and litter. With your donations, we are also able to help animals in the area by donating pet food to the Brookings Food Shelf, to help residents who may be struggling to find food for their pets. We NEVER throw useable items away.

**The BRHS promotes the use of KURANDA beds - they hold less germs and last longer than traditional beds and blankets. If you are able to help us by donating a PVC bed that you no longer need, or are able to help setup a KURANDA Bed donation drive, please contact us. You can also donate one by clicking on the image below:
