Hairless Holly Has Found a Home

Feb 17, 2017

BEST NEWS EVER!!! Holly was adopted by the wonderful woman who saw her for the work of art she is. Rae Anne Tharp Leimbach has been fostering and has now agreed to adopt our “hairless Holly”. Rae Anne has shown incredible patience and love as Holly adapted to wearing clothes, living in a home with other cherished pets, and allowing her family to give her affection. Holly was first spotted living under a filthy trailer and eating out of a trash pile. Daniela Schneider rescued her, and wept at her initial condition of being emaciated, hairless, and horribly frightened. I tried to comfort Daniela as I told her that I did not see Holly ever being adopted because of her inability to be leashed and general lack of socialization. I told Daniela not to worry- because Holly could have a forever home at Hallie Hill. Little did I know that Rae Anne was out there with an incredible heart and room for one more furry friend under her roof. Thank you Rae Anne for seeing past her looks and being patient with her until her personality could shine through! And if Holly could talk, she would thank you too.

Brisco the Brave

Feb 9, 2016

It was a Sunday morning when we received word there was a dog lying in the ditch just a few blocks away from the sanctuary.  Unsure of what to expect, we grabbed some emergency supplies and rushed out to see if we could help. His fur was the same tan color as the grass, so we almost passed right by this sweet young fellow named Brisco.  He had been hit by a car, and it was easy to see his injuries were extensive. He must have been in shock, because he did not growl or whimper as we carefully loaded him into the van to seek emergency medical care. The doctors at Charleston Veterinary Referral Center quickly examined Brisco and began treatment for his injuries including two broken legs, a partially amputated toe, and internal bleeding.  Sadly, the doctors estimated that he suffered on the roadside, wet, cold, and in pain for over 24 hours. This incredibly sweet 8 month old lab mix is now on the road to recovery.  When anyone approaches, he wags his tail showing how grateful he is to be safe, warm, and loved.
