Who We Are

The Brooks Animal Protection Society (formerly Brooks and District SPCA) is a charitable organization run by seven volunteer board members. We have two paid employees the Executive Director/Shelter Coordinator and the Animal Control Officer (ACO), and three volunteers that are given an Honorarium by taking turns coming in twice per day to clean, feed, water, exercise and administer medication to the animals being cared for in the shelter. We also have multiple volunteers who help us with fundraising events, vaccinations, grooming, driving to numerous distant locations to deliver un-adopted pets to rescues, fostering animals, socializing animals and repairs to shelter equipment etc.

We are a very unique society, as we hold the contract with the City of Brooks, for Animal Control. All animals that are brought in through Animal Control are put up for adoption after four business days if not claimed. If we cannot find a home for these animals, we send them to non-kill rescue organizations in hopes that they can find their forever homes.

Adopting a new member of the family

Our adoption procedures are fairly basic, fill out an adoption request, it will be reviewed by the appropriate adoption coordinator. A home check is done to ensure that the pet is right for your home.The adoption fee is 150.00 for dogs, 85.00 for cats, this includes altering, cursory health check, deworming, microchipping, first shots and six weeks pet health insurance. We want the animal to be a part of your family for the rest of it's life! Altering is done prior to adoption.

We ask many questions on the adoption form, but this is to help us in judging if the animal and your family will be the perfect match. For an adoption request form, please visit our website where it is available for download. Long distance adoptions can be done, for more information you can contact one of our adoption coordinators.
