Meet Mike Gibbons, our new Director of Development! Mike has spent more than a decade in nonprofit fundraising, having worked in the arts and in human services. Prior to his time working with nonprofits, Mike spent 15 years in journalism as a newspaper editor, reporter and photographer. Mike lives in Mount Pleasant with his wife, Jen.

Dog Daycations: Porter & Chloe

Oct 29, 2024

A Day With Porter

I had the best dog daycare with Porter! I forgot how awesome the Magnolia Plantation and Gardens was for dogs! All the different smells, so much space, and the best part – other animals!

Porter loved people greeting him, watching boats go down the Ashley River, smelling all the flowers/plants, and walking over the swamp bridges. The best part was introduced to the many horses, a donkey, a peacock, and even a sulcata tortoise! One of the horses was super friendly and would keep coming towards us at the fence.

I loved seeing Porter’s border collie/herding breed really come out in him! He was such a happy boy. We ended our adventure with a delicious lunch at the Peacock Cafe in Magnolia. Porter was a good boy who was just people/dog-watching.

A Day With Chloe

Chloe enjoyed some lunch with us today at The Washout on Folly Beach…Unfortunately, it was raining the whole time we were out, but we made the best of it. Chloe learned that she loves flounder! She enjoyed getting some love and pets from the bartender and waitresses.

She is such a sweet, smart, and pretty girl. At first, she was a little unsure by all the loud noise, especially the cars, but she quickly became more relaxed. We even took a little stroll on the beach. She wanted to greet every person that came by.

Thanks for making our day, Chole, and we hope we made yours.

You’re Just What an Underdog is Waiting for

Oct 22, 2024

This October, Subaru’s Make a Dog’s Day is turning the spotlight on senior underdogs, those older shelter dogs who are far too often overlooked due to their age. In its fifth annual event, Subaru and our retail partners are encouraging families to consider adopting a senior dog, who may be a tad bit slower but is filled with love, loyalty, and plenty of wisdom.

Senior dogs make lovely companions. More often than not, they are calm, house-trained, and quick to settle into their new forever homes. It also helps that Subaru is helping to cover adoption costs for these older pups, making it even easier to give them a second chance at happiness. Since 2008, Subaru and our retailers have donated over $52 million to national and local organizations and impacted the lives of over 480,000 animals.

Even if you cannot adopt at this time, you can help spread the love by volunteering, donating, or getting the word out by using the hashtag #MakeADogsDay. Let’s get out there and show these sweet seniors that it is never too late for a fresh start in life.

Are you ready to make a senior dog’s day?

Dove:

Dove is a sweet girl who has come a long way. She was abandoned and found hiding in a culvert pipe, terrified of the world. At Hallie Hill, she’s receiving all the medical care, love and support she needs: she has learned to walk on a leash and is gaining the courage to interact more bravely with people and to explore! She’s ready to be someone’s lovebug. If you’re interested in meeting this pretty girl, apply at HallieHill.com!

Mocha:

This sweet girl is rich in heart and personality. She loves nothing more than long walks where she can sniff to her heart’s content. We don’t recommend her with other pets: she wants to be someone’s spoiled one and only! If you want to meet Mocha, take the first step and apply at HallieHill.com.

Flint: This is one cool cat. He is remarkably intelligent for a young kitten and absolutely handsome with his striking tabby features and bold white chest. He is extremely playful and is a joy to spend time with.
