Amelia was our quiet gentle healer. To me her mission in life was accomplished at Hallie Hill. Our hearts were shattered by our own loss when we first met her. She was like a gentle gardener; tending to a broken branch… quietly and lovingly she nurtured the break, and it began to grow and blossom again. She expected nothing and gave all. Amelia will always be a part of us. We are honored that we were blessed to be receivers of the gifts she brought… truly Heaven sent. She is now with her maker in perfect peace. Amelia, you are loved. Job well done sweet girl… Rest now. Your mission was accomplished.

Hallie Hill Welcomes Elio Levy To the Board of Directors!
Mr. Levy comes to Hallie Hill with a wealth of experience in the field of Information Technology, including strategic planning, customer recruitment and management and marketing planning strategies! We welcome him to the Hallie Hill family!
Mr. Levy, and his wife, Ellen, live in Ravenel with two beloved pets, Oliver and Joye. Oliver is a beautiful cat, 14 years young and Joye (Bobo) is their 10 year old canine cutie!
Mr. Levy shares his thoughts with us on the joy of having pets: “Animals are special beings and those who have been lucky enough to experience a connection with them know it very well. Animal nobility is a true teaching. Thanks to them we are more humble, empathetic, loving people. They give us their love unconditionally, without asking for anything in return, doing us good.”

Michele Griffin, our Assistant Director and Adoption Coordinator, is exactly what we needed at HHAS. Anyone working with dogs would be lucky to have her on staff because this lady is truly amazing!
First, she is a CPDT-KA which means she is a Certified Professional Dog Trainer-Knowledge Assessed. Achieving this certification is no easy feat. It requires a minimum of 300 hours of experience in dog training and passing a rigorous national exam that demonstrates knowledge and proficiency in the current scientific evidence of canine behavior, development, training, and much, much more.
Recently, Michele also became a licensed Family Paws Educator! This means she has the knowledge to share with families with dogs who are expecting a baby or who have a toddler. Michele can give them advice and real-life strategies on how to prepare families with dogs for life with a baby and how to safely navigate the changes that will occur as the baby grows to a toddler.
Hallie Hill has many special needs dogs that are at the sanctuary because their previous owner did not understand their behaviors and needs. As our adoption counselor, Michele counsels adopters prior to, during, and after each adoption to increase the rate of success for the placement of the dog. She strives to reduce stress for both the family and the dog so everyone feels good about the new family dynamics. We are fortunate and so proud to have Michele as a part of the Hallie Hill team!

December’s Adorable Adoptables
Click here to fill out an application to come out to HHAS to meet these wonderful animals!
Hippy
At almost 2 years old, Hippy is full of energy and ALWAYS happy to see you! She is such a petite girl with a HUGE personality. She lives with other dogs at the sanctuary and does great! She doesn’t do well with a fence between her and another dog, though, and leash meetings are frustrating. Leash reactivity is something that can be worked with! She really is fun and will make an AMAZING companion for someone!
Drake
Meet Drake! This handsome guy is 4 1/2 years old and is a boisterous ball of fun! He thinks meeting people is very exciting and is working on not jumping up. Drake has gotten along well with his female “roommate”, and is currently being treated for heartworm. Just look at those eyes. They melt your heart! This boy would love to find an active family to take him home!
Meatloaf
Meatloaf is a big ol’ ham of a pup! (Don’t you love that name?) He loves to give kisses and would love a home to call his own. Meatloaf has a dog roommate that he has been doing well with! He will need a house with a fenced yard as he has previously displayed not-very-acceptable behavior while on leash. He loves people and would definitely love you unconditionally and make your family complete!
Dunk
Dunk is a beautiful boy, the only white on him is the tip of his tail! At just 1 year and 7 months, he is a young guy with lots of playfulness in him—he is ready to entertain and bring joy to your family! Dunk is fully vetted, healthy, and happy, except he needs a loving family to make his life perfect! Come and meet this sweet boy. You WILL fall in love.
