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.”

Jena Jones is an animal advocate, Army Veteran, business owner, and want-to-be farmer! Jena has a longstanding history with animal service organizations. She has both volunteered and served in formal roles within 501c3s since 2007. She served as the Director of Development for a therapeutic riding facility and has been a board member of an Arizona rescue and sanctuary for over 10 years. In her time supporting these organizations, she has managed operations, led growth/fundraising efforts, and provided animal care and fostering. She is proud to say that the number of fostered friends is over 60!
Jena still spends every day actively engaged in animal care and animal welfare. It is her single greatest passion and priority. She owns a small farm caring for sanctuary animals, including horses, cows, goats, dogs, and cats. She hopes one day, she can grow up to be a full-time Farmer. Jena splits time between Columbus, NC, and Meggett, South Carolina, just around the corner from Hallie Hill.
Jena founded and serves as CEO of PGT Solutions, a healthcare-focused IT and professional services consulting firm. PGT focuses on support to Veterans and Service Members through improving healthcare and other critical support to them and their families. She first got involved with Hallie Hill when looking for an animal service organization to bring PGT employees to volunteer. Time spent volunteering resulted in a desire to help further the Hallie Hill mission and, naturally, in bringing home a new family member. Nora, the dramatically friendly Anatolian Shepherd, is a Hallie Hill alum and now spends her time exactly how she wishes: watching over her goat babies… in between naps on the couch, of course!

Carol grew up in a golfing family; her dad was a PGA Tour player and Club Pro.
Saying she is a true Dawg fan is an understatement, Carol graduated from UGA with a
BA in psychology. But her true calling is teaching golf, coaching players of all abilities
and being recognized as one of the best golf teachers in America.
Growing up, Carol loved cats but didn’t rescue her first hound dog until she
moved from Marietta Ga. to Charleston. She now lives with her 6 year old rescue dog
Roscoe, a sweet Treeing Walker/Siberian Husky mix. Looking for a playmate for
Roscoe, Carol adopted Beau, an American Foxhound. After a year, the relationship
between them became strained, and thankfully Hallie Hill came to the rescue.
“Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary gave Beau a safe haven to grow into an adoptable
dog. When I visit Beau often, his personality shines. It warms my heart to know that
Beau is now helping abused dogs become more social. The entire staff at Hallie Hill is a
blessing to the low country, and they need our support more than ever!”
