Help us “Bridge The Gap” at this year’s Cooper River Bridge Run
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.
When you think of the month of February, what comes to mind? For many, February is the month of LOVE! At Hallie Hill, we can’t think of a better way to spread and experience love than by taking on a new furry companion. From kittens to puppies, we have many furry friends waiting to find their forever home.
Holly is a charmingly sweet girl who arrived at Hallie Hill accompanied by a large litter. Although she’s somewhat more reserved than her siblings, she would be a wonderful addition to any family, whether they have another cat or not! Holly is relatively calm. She enjoys affection but is not demanding.
Nova is a medium-sized rat terrier mix with a unique, charming look and a wonderful personality to match. She’s friendly, great with people and other dogs, and loves spending time with her humans. Nova is eager to please and ready to be your loyal companion, though she’ll need a little help mastering the leash. If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and spirited addition to your family, Nova is February’s Adorable Adoptables!

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. They met when they were students at the University of Alabama way back in the 1990s! Mike and Jen have two grown children – Parker, a naturalist and herpetologist, and Allie, a school psychologist. Originally from Aiken, Mike moved to the Lowcountry in 2014.
Mike’s lifetime love of animals makes him the perfect match for Hallie Hill! Mike and Jen have a long history of having rescues join their family, starting with Montgomery in 1994. He was followed by basset hound Maggie, Dachshund Murphy and boxer Maddux, as well as Delilah the cat. While the Gibbons’ do not currently have any furry friends, their home is host to several reptiles and amphibians. We welcome Mike to the Hallie Hill family and look forward to working together to make the Sanctuary even better!
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?
Hunter
Hunter is a spirited and charming boy who adores life to the fullest! He’s very friendly with other dogs and enjoys swimming in the sanctuary’s pond. Hunter is a very sweet boy who is always ready for playtime. Hunter can feel a bit anxious around new canine friends but he warms up beautifully as time goes by. Excitement can make him slightly ‘mouthy,’ but he responds well to a ‘sit’ command followed by a delicious treat. Visit halliehill.com and apply today to meet Hunter.
Marvin
Marvin is a wonderful dog of small to medium size who interacts well with other dogs. Unfortunately, Marvin feels very insecure when visiting new places and meeting new people. As a result, he does not appreciate long walks in unfamiliar areas or having visitors in his home. After Marvin becomes comfortable with his new home and family, he may attempt to bite those that he does not recognize as “family members.” Therefore, it’s necessary to place him in a separate room or kennel when expecting visitors. To arrange a meeting with Marvin, please submit an application at HallieHill.com.
Marci
Marcie is a charming Tortoiseshell cat who does not seek out other cats, but will tolerate their presence. She has a fondness for treats and canned food and enjoys affection from her human companions. To arrange a meeting with Marcie, please submit an application at HallieHill.com.
LeeAnn
LeeAnn is a charming girl with a lot to express. She’s quite vocal, perhaps longing for a warm home filled with love and care. Her favorite time is mealtime, and she’s always happy to finish off leftovers from her companions. Her fur is remarkably soft, and she has a way of melting into you when you pet her. For those who adore hounds, LeeAnn is sure to capture your heart! To arrange a meeting with LeeAnn, please submit an application at HallieHill.com.
