Jess is pictured here with Molly who arrived at Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary in the worst condition you could imagine. Molly was severely emaciated with an extreme mammary infection that caused numerous open wounds that covered her entire chest and abdominal region. Molly is healthy now and available for adoption, so complete an application at Dog Adoption Application Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary if you would like to schedule an appointment to meet her.

Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary is fortunate to have a dedicated team of volunteers, each bringing unique experiences and passions to our mission. One such remarkable volunteer is Jess Smith, whose journey from central Illinois to Charleston has been filled with adventure, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to animal wellbeing. Jess’s story begins in central Illinois, where she spent her early years. Her academic journey led her to the bustling streets of New York City, where she attended college. In 2016, Jess made a life-changing move to Charleston, a decision driven by her love for the coastal city’s vibrant culture and warm community. Professionally, Jess excels in her role in sales at Wolters Kluwer, a leading software company. Despite the demands of her career, she finds time to dedicate to Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary, showing that her passion for animal wellbeing is as strong as her professional drive. Jess’s love for dogs is evident in every aspect of her life. When she isn’t working or volunteering at Hallie Hill, she spends her time with her own beloved dogs Reece and Iris as well as her gecko Stella. Beyond her dedication to animals, Jess is an adventurer at heart. She enjoys traveling to new places, experiencing different cultures, and finding hidden gems in every destination. Her love for live music and concerts often takes her to various venues, where she indulges in her passion for melodies and rhythms. Jess also finds time to share her love of the great outdoors by taking some of the Hallie Hill residents on excursions to explore new places whether it’s hiking trails, parks, or simply enjoying the beauty of nature in a local Sniff Spot. Jess is also a self-proclaimed foodie, always on the hunt for the best culinary experiences Charleston has to offer. We at Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary are incredibly grateful for Jess Smith’s dedication and hard work. Her enthusiasm, compassion, and diverse interests enrich our community, making her a valuable member of our volunteer team. If you see Jess around the sanctuary, be sure to say hello and thank her for all that she does. Her journey and contributions are a testament to the impact one person can make in the lives of animals and the community. Inspired by Jess’s story? Consider joining our volunteer team at Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary. Together, we can continue to provide a safe haven for animals in need and create a more compassionate world.

Baron!

Baron is a remarkably handsome boy. Short and stout, he’s built like a tank. His personality is incredibly sweet, enough to melt your heart. He has interacted well with other dogs at the sanctuary and has shown great friendliness to everyone he has encountered.

Gizmo!

Gizmo, an endearing hound mix, is brimming with love to share. He is house-trained and needs a fenced-in backyard. While he may be cautious around strangers at first, he warms up and becomes loving with his family once he gets to know them. Gizmo is full of energy but gets anxious around lawnmowers. In the sanctuary, he has lived in harmony with other dogs.

Homer!

Homer, a sizable hound, is highly motivated by food. He gets along wonderfully with both people and other dogs and remains playful despite his age. Homer is a staff and volunteer favorite who would really enjoy an air conditioned home for his senior years.

Dr. Pepper

Dr. Pepper is a charming 1-year-old cat with a sleek black coat. Dr. Pepper enjoys the company of other cats and has a calm demeanor that makes him easy to love. He’s affectionate without being overly pushy, making him a delightful companion for both play and relaxation. If you’re looking for a cool and collected kitty with a touch of sweetness, Dr. Pepper is your guy!
