Our Special Pets

Once we take an animal in, we promise it a home for the remainder of its life, should it not be adopted.  We work with local shelters and rescues taking in dogs that might not get adopted due to age, medical, or behavioral issues helping Charleston to achieve the status of a NO-Kill Community.  Hallie Hill is UNIQUE.  We have over 30 acres of land that provides large enclosures for dogs to live and play.  There is a pond for swimming, dog houses with straw and heat lamps, and individual pools to help keep the animals comfortable.  The animals are well cared for with the help of many dedicated volunteers and staff.

Shelter. Food. Love.

smokeySmokey’s story is much like the others at Hallie Hill. He wandered up to Hallie Hill in 1997. He was found collapsed outside our main fence suffering from severe head wounds and starvation. The employee who first spotted Smokey, mistook him for a scrap of fabric someone had tossed to the ground and described him as a “bag of bones”.

After a few months of love and care, Smokey was far from starving. He enjoyed his time at Hallie Hill and spent his geriatric years tottering around the barn or sunning himself in the yard. He will forever be at home on Hallie Hill – resting in the cemetery.

Hallie Hill provides sanctuary to approximately 200 dogs and cats. Many of these animals bravely survived abuse and/or neglect to arrive at Hallie Hill for the care and love they have always deserved. Within days of arriving, each animal is seen by a veterinarian to receive any and all medical attention they need to be healthy – from heartworm treatment to complex surgeries. Once the new arrival is healthy, they are introduced to an enclosure with plenty of space, a house complete with an automatic watering bowl, bedding, and heat lamps in the winter.

Our primary goal at Hallie Hill is to provide a loving home with all of the comforts possible to the animals for which we care.

“I support Hallie Hill because it truly is a sanctuary for animals looking for a home or those animals that need a forever home. We share this planet with animals who need help and assistance, which is the mission of this great organization and of the volunteers and donors who make it happen everyday. Love is in the air with every bark and meow! “

BOARD MEMBER, CAROL PREISINGER

Hallie Hill provided a safe and nurturing place for my dog Beau when I had to make one of the hardest decisions of my life. When I met the generous founder who brought Hallie Hill to life, and the directors and volunteers who keep the animals thriving everyday, giving my support was the easiest decision I’ve ever made. 

BOARD MEMBER, HARVEY LOEW

“I support Hallie Hill because it breaks my heart to see neglected, abandoned, or abused animals. Hallie Hill provides appropriate care, treatment, and an environment suitable for cats and dogs to thrive and be adopted or live out their lives without fear or threat. The staff and volunteers at Hallie Hill provide the kind of culture human society would benefit from.”

BOARD MEMBER, JOHN BYRNES

Hallie Hill Animal Sanctuary and its mission align with my core values and passion for promoting animal welfare in the community I love. By taking in animals that are neglected, elderly, infirmed, fearful, abandoned, dislocated, or in danger of euthanasia from overcrowded county shelters, they provide a no-kill Sanctuary space and environment for some of the neediest animals in the region.
