This month, we are holding our monthly Mobile Veterinary Unit with PETSInc on Thursday, June 19!

The mobile vet unit will offer various services for dogs and cats ranging from $15-$40, such as vaccines, heartworm tests and rabies shots, plus additional services such as microchipping, bloodwork, skin scrapes, nail trims and much more! NO APPOINTMENT REQUIRED for these services.

We are also offering a surgery special: spay and neuter for dogs and cats as young as three months. Depending on the weight of your pet, the cost for dogs is $230-$250 and for cats the cost is $150-$200. Spays and neuters REQUIRE an appointment – please reserve your space by clicking the link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0945AAAB29A3F8CE9-56850959-hallie#/

The mobile veterinary unit will be offered Thursday, June 19 from 11AM-2PM, located at the Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary, at 5604 New Road, Hollywood, SC.

We are so thrilled to be able to offer low-cost vet services to the community. By making an appointment for your cat or dog, you will be improving their quality of life!

National Poison Prevention Week is March 16 – 22.

We must recognize and acknowledge poisons and toxins affecting our furry friends to prevent emergencies and life-threatening situations. While some of the common pet toxins aren’t necessarily deadly, depending on the amount of exposure and timeliness of treatment, they can still be detrimental to your pet’s overall health and quality of life. The following 10 toxins, on the other hand, are decidedly deadly. They aren’t common, and you may not have heard of some of them, so it is essential to bring awareness.

1. 5-Fluorouracil: An ointment to treat skin cancer.
2. Amphetamines: Both prescription and illicit drugs are equally dangerous for pets.
3. Baclofen: A prescription muscle relaxer for humans that is life-threatening for small dogs.
4. Calcium channel blockers: Common blood pressure medications, such as diltiazem, amlodipine, verapamil, and nifedipine.
5. Lamotrigine: Prescription human medication for seizure sufferers.
6. Hydroxytryptophan: An over-the-counter human supplement.
7. Hops: The flower used to make beer.
8. Metaldehyde: An ingredient in some slug and snail baits.
9. Blue-green algae (BGA): A naturally occurring algae that sometimes grows in lakes, ponds, or rivers. 10. Methomyl: An insecticide ingredient used in some fly baits.

If there is one thing we are reminded of on a regular basis it is how wonderful the community support is for Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary.

Recently, we have seen the community share its generosity through our Medical Equipment Sponsorship program. Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary is excited about opening our new medical care facility – The HUB! This will allow us to treat our dogs and cars onsite rather than transporting them to veterinarians in the community.

As we work toward fully outfitting The HUB, we need some medical equipment to become a full-service veterinary clinic. Community members have already helped us purchase several key pieces, and we hope to complete all of our medical equipment purchases by the end of the month.

We are asking for our generous supporters to consider sponsoring our major remaining equipment needs, such as a countertop autoclave, anesthesia machines, oxygen concentrators, pulse oximeters, dental scaler and polisher, and so on.

If you or someone you know is interested in sponsoring equipment please visit: https://www.halliehill.com/hub-medical-sponsorship/. All sponsorships will include recognition signage honoring the donor(s) for their generous support of Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary.
