Madison Frazier was born and raised in Asheville, NC but spent time visiting Charleston each summer as a child. She attended Brevard College for a Business & Organizational Leadership degree and currently works full time with an ad agency. Madison enjoys hiking, camping and being outdoors, but also enjoys reading, baking sweets, painting, and dancing to 60’s and 70’s rock and roll! We are fortunate to have Madison volunteer her time feeding, and playing with the cats at the sanctuary and working hard to keep their enclosure clean and cozy. Madison says her dream is to one day work with conservation and wildlife to make a bigger difference for our world. She already makes a tremendous difference in the lives of the approximately 50 domestic cats residing at Hallie Hill. We are so lucky to have her!

I was born and raised in Fort Worth Texas. I lived in Texas most of my life until moving to South Carolina three years ago. I moved here to be closer to my stepfather and mother. My stepfather Les suffered from a stroke during his third heart surgery, and his health was a concern. I helped him as much as possible when I got here by going with him to physical therapy and supporting him the best I knew how. He made great improvements and recovered well. Being close to my family is wonderful, and South Carolina quickly became home. Soon after moving here, I started working at Water’s Edge Restaurant on Shem Creek. I accepted a management position in July of 2020. When I have time, I love to go fishing, play golf, explore the wilderness, and watch movies.
Over four years ago, I decided to seek help from addiction to drugs and alcohol. God placed the right people in my life to guide me in my recovery and show me a new way to live. Part of my recovery process involves being of service. I began to look for places to volunteer and Hallie Hill was on the top of my list. The sanctuary supports a no-kill community and takes in animals that might never get adopted due to age, medical condition, or behavioral issues. Many of these animals deserve a second chance, much like the one I was given. A new life without fear of abuse or violence, surrounded by people who love and care for them.
Volunteering my time and working at the sanctuary is the brightest part of my week. Every staff member is passionate about their mission and commits themselves to helping animals every day. I have a great deal of respect for everyone who pours their heart into making sure that Hallie Hill continues to provide a quality level of care for these animals.

Amanda grew up in Summerville and has lived most of her life in the Charleston area. She has had several jobs in the logistics field and is now retired. Amanda’s love of animals comes from her father, who, in his later years, lived on a farm in North Georgia and raised goats as a hobby; each of which he named. Amanda is passionate about helping animals and derives great joy from working to gain the trust of the shy dogs at Hallie Hill so that they can find a permanent home in the future. Amanda lives in West Ashley with her husband and their thirteen-year-old dog Murphy, “the old man.” Her past pets have included cats and talking birds.
Thank you, Amanda, for your hard work and dedication!!!
Hallie Hill loves you!
