Clear the Shelters: August 1- 31, 2025

Aug 6, 2025

This year, NBCUniversal Local is teaming up with hundreds of shelters across the country, including Hallie Hill, to host the Clear the Shelters campaign. Since 2015, this nationwide pet adoption campaign has given more than one million pets their forever homes.

Instead of adoption, The Black Dog launched a Clear The Shelters merchandise collection. They will donate 100% of the profits from the limited-edition merchandise collection to the Clear The Shelters fund. This collection includes merchandise for pet lovers and their dogs!

If you’re looking to add a goofy and sweet companion to your life, Hallie Hill is hosting our Clear The Shelters open house event on August 23 and 24 from 10 AM to 2 PM. We want to showcase our deserving residents in hopes of finding them their forever homes.

Can’t adopt but still want to help? Donations are just as impactful. Your support gives our animals the care, comfort, and second chance they deserve. Donations are accepted here on the Hallie Hill website or at the Clear The Shelters Website, here.

Hallie Hill and PetSinc offer an Affordable Mobile Vet Clinic on Thursday, August 14

Jul 31, 2025

Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary and PETSinc have partnered to help the community receive affordable veterinary care for their pets. This low-cost mobile veterinary clinic allows community members to bring in their pets for vaccines, spay and neuter, and other wellness necessities, as well as elective services such as microchipping, nail trims, and ear cleanings.

Getting your furry family members the care they need shouldn’t be unattainable. That is why Hallie Hill and PETSinc offer low-cost services to those in need. So far, we have completed five mobile clinic days and performed over 93 spay/neuter surgeries and over 81 wellness visits! By bringing your pet to receive care on one of our mobile clinic days, you will be improving their quality of life!

The next opportunity is on the Hallie Hill campus and will occur on August 14, 2025, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. We do not require an appointment for wellness exams, but an appointment is required for spay and neuter appointments, as they are in high demand.

Dog Safety Education Classes for Kids

Jul 14, 2025

The Charleston Exchange Club has granted Hallie Hill funds for a new indoor classroom for dog safety education classes for kids. These classes will be geared to students aged 5-12 and focus on proper and safe dog interactions. We have conducted similar workshops in schools in the past. This grant will allow us to have classes onsite at the Sanctuary, and provide funding for informative materials and lessons. If you want to learn more about these classes, please contact Mike Gibbons at mike@halliehill.com.

June’s Adorable Adoptables

Jun 18, 2025

Looking for a new best friend who’s cute, cuddly and maybe a little goofy? You’ve come to the right place! Our shelter is bursting with paws, purrs, and wagging tails, all belonging to animals ready to steal your heart. We’re excited to introduce some amazing animals this month! Come say hi—they’ve been practicing their puppy eyes and purrs just for you!

BiBi, whose name means “mother” in Swahili, is a shy, medium-sized black lab mix with a tender heart and quiet spirit. When she first arrived, she was very timid—but each day she grows a little more confident, thanks to the patience and kindness of our volunteers. She’s learning to trust, enjoys the company of other dogs, and has a soft spot for tasty treats (her favorite way to make new friends!) BiBi would thrive in a calm, loving home with a gentle routine and perhaps a friendly dog buddy to show her the way. If you’re looking for a loyal companion and find joy in helping a shy dog blossom, BiBi is ready to begin that journey with you.

Fiona is a stunning young calico with a soft coat and an even softer personality. Though she’s past her kitten days, she still has plenty of playful energy and youthful charm. Fiona has done well with other cats in our cattery and enjoys the company of both her feline friends and the volunteers who care for her. She’s friendly, easygoing, and would make a lovely companion in a calm and loving home. If you’re looking for a beautiful cat with a gentle spirit, Fiona is ready to bring warmth and color to your life.

Gumbo is a young, strikingly handsome hound with a heart full of love. While he can be a bit nervous in new places or around unfamiliar sounds, his gentle nature always shines through. With a calm environment and a little reassurance, he quickly warms up and shows just how affectionate he can be. He’s been great with other dogs and truly enjoys the company of people. Gumbo hasn’t had much experience in a home setting, but he’s eager to learn what it means to be a beloved family pet. He’s a big guy, but very trainable—especially since he’s food motivated and eager to please. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just needs a little guidance and a lot of love, Gumbo might be your perfect match. He’s ready to learn, grow, and become part of a family

Tippy is a 13-year-old tricolor chihuahua with a mostly black coat and a heart full of love. Don’t let her age fool you—this little lady still has plenty of pep in her step! When she hits the play yard, she’ll surprise you with her joyful zoomies, but she’s just as happy relaxing in her own cozy corner when playtime is done. Tippy does well with other dogs and would fit in beautifully with a calm, friendly pack. If you’re looking for a small companion who brings both fun and peace to your home, Tippy is ready to win your heart!
