Great Veterinary Care Options in Charleston, South Carolina

Great Veterinary Care Options in Charleston, South Carolina

We know how stressful it can be when your pet becomes ill or suffers an injury. It helps to have a knowledgeable veterinarian you trust with their care. Preventive care is also important, so we urge people not to wait until your pet is sick to find a good veterinarian. We are lucky to have so many wonderful veterinarians in Charleston and surrounding areas. We are often asked who we use to provide care for the animals residing at the sanctuary. The answer is many different vets! Hallie Hill has always used West Ashley Veterinary Clinic for routine care like exams, bloodwork, and other diagnostics. They have a team of knowledgeable doctors and staff that use fear free techniques to make the visits less stressful for our animals. For low-cost spay/neuter, Dr. Lucy Fuller and her team at the Charleston Animal Society are top-rated. When any of our cats and dogs have problems with their eyes, we take them to Animal Eye Care of the Lowcountry and they are amazing! When our animals need to be treated for heartworm disease, we use the awesome Dr. Kelli Klein at Olde Towne Veterinary Clinic in downtown Charleston. We have even had several animals who needed to see a cardiologist and were fortunate to be treated by Dr. Jake Jacobson at Charleston Veterinary Cardiology. Blue Pearl and Charleston Veterinary Referral Center also have amazing emergency care doctors, internal medicine specialists, and surgeons. There are just too many to list! Thank goodness we have so many skilled and experienced veterinarians here in the lowcountry to help us keep our animals healthy and happy!

Thank You For Coming to Our Angel’s Crossing Candlelight Vigil

Thank You For Coming to Our Angel’s Crossing Candlelight Vigil

We know how much a pet can change your life. From their happy dance at the door when you come home to cuddles on the couch, they have shown you a love that will last a lifetime. Thank you so much to everyone who braved the rain to join us on Saturday, February 11th at 6:30pm and gathered at our Angel’s Crossing memorial site to pay tribute to those animals you carry in your heart every day. It was a beautiful ceremony full of heartwarming stories and the memorial ribbons look perfect on our symbolic rainbow bridge.

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.
