November’s Adorable Adoptables
Click here to fill out an application to come out to HHAS to meet these wonderful animals!
Moxie
Moxie is a perfectly sized female terrier mix who is 8 years young! With silky fur and saucer ears, she is such a cutie! She is good with other dogs but, when leashed, is not quite as friendly. Moxie has had multiple surgeries to close a hole in her hard palate (after a bad run-in with a stick) but still has a small opening that causes her to sneeze often but does not affect her quality of life! Meet this girl and fall in love!
Ranger
Meet sweet Ranger! This 6-year-old boy is a happy guy who loves running around with his friends in our yard at the sanctuary. He loves a good game of fetch as well. He’s very affectionate and loves to shower you with kisses. He does love attention and tries to get yours when he can, so he’d probably be best in a home with people who are home more often than not. Frankly, we dont know why this great guy hasn’t been scooped up! Call and meet him!
Edisto
This beautiful male German Shepherd mix is just 3 years old, and she is so pretty! Edisto has a chill personality and did very well when we had her meeting the public at some of our recent community events! Edisto does well on a leash and would love the opportunity to be a valued member of your family! Where are our Shepherd lovers? Go to halliehill.com, fill out an application and come out to the Sanctuary to meet this very pretty girl.
Donny
Look at that sweet face! Donny is just a year old, still a kitten, and is missing his sister, Marie, who found her fur-ever home a few months ago! He is very timid with new people at first (which is why he is still with us), but we have found he warms up quickly and will seek you out when he knows you! Tabbies have the most wonderful personalities, and Donny would make a wonderful addition to your family. Come meet this fur baby and gain his trust!

How would you feel if you never brushed your teeth? Constantly having lots of plaque and an unpleasant taste in your mouth would probably be more than you could tolerate. Your wallet probably wouldn’t feel so good either after having to pay a hefty dentist bill to get your oral health back in good shape. Now imagine what could happen to your dog’s mouth without proper dog dental care. The simple answer is dog dental disease.
Dental diseases in dogs are quite common. By age 3, over 80 percent of dogs have some form of dental disease, also known as periodontal disease. Dog dental disease has serious consequences, so maintaining good dog dental care is very important.
What Is Dental Disease?
Dental disease affects the teeth, gums, and structures that support and surround a dog’s teeth. It begins with plaque buildup on the teeth. This plaque contains bacteria and food particles.
Plaque that stays on the teeth hardens into tartar. When tartar is above the gum line, it’s easily visible, and your veterinarian can remove it relatively easily during a professional dental cleaning.
However, looks can be deceiving. A set of pearly whites doesn’t necessarily mean that your dog’s mouth is healthy. Tartar that makes its way below the gumline is the real problem.

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!”
At Hallie Hill we love our seniors! Join us this November as we celebrate #AdoptASeniorDog month. Follow our social media pages to find out more about the seniors at the sanctuary.
