Bud

Meet Bud! With his white muzzle, soulful eyes, and steady stride, Bud feels like an old friend the moment you meet him. After his beloved owner passed away, Bud found himself alone and eventually landed on the euthanasia list at a crowded shelter simply because he was a senior, heartworm positive, and needed to be the only pet. That’s when Hallie Hill stepped in.

Since arriving at the sanctuary, Bud has received heartworm treatment, daily care, and all the love he needs. He enjoys slow walks, sunny naps, and the company of staff and volunteers who adore him. While he’s still waiting for a quiet, dog-free home of his own, Bud knows he’s safe and will never be overlooked again.

Bear

Before he found safety at Hallie Hill, Bear was a ghost seen but never touched and living in the woods behind a neighborhood. Then came the fire. With his shelter gone, kind neighbors came together to save him, finally catching the frightened pup they named Smokey the Bear.

But Bear wasn’t built for indoor life. He needed somewhere special somewhere that would let him just be. That place was Hallie Hill. Bear has safety, care, and quiet love here on his terms. He may never be a lap dog, but he is part of our family. And dogs like Bear are why we swim.
