Holiday Safety Tips for Pets

Dec 16, 2024

The holiday season can be stressful for all, including your four-legged friends. With all the hustle and bustle, it’s easy to overlook how certain holiday traditions can affect your pets. Some holiday elements are unsafe for our furry companions, so check out these tips to ensure your holidays are stress-free, pet-friendly, and fun for the entire family!

1. Food Dangers
Many foods are toxic to pets during holiday feasts. Keep your pets away from chocolate, grapes, raisins, onions, garlic, alcohol, and fatty foods. Instead, treat your pets to pet-friendly snacks so they can safely join the celebration.

2. Keep the Wires Hidden
Holiday lights, decorations, and electrical cords are a big draw for curious pets, especially puppies and kittens. Keep them hidden or covered.

3. Loud Noises
Holiday parties can be loud; music, fireworks, or music can make your pet stressed. Putting your cats and dogs in a quiet place allows them to relax and feel safe.

4. The Christmas Tree
Pets love trees, and a toppled tree can injure your pet and ruin the celebrations. If you can anchor your tree and keep ornaments, tinsel, and tree water out of reach, these can be harmful if ingested.

5. Watch Out for Candles
Candles are a staple in holiday décor but pose a risk to pets. Pets could accidentally knock them over, or their tails could brush against open flames. Always use flameless candles or place real candles where pets can’t access them.

Dove:

Dove is a sweet girl who has come a long way. She was abandoned and found hiding in a culvert pipe, terrified of the world. At Hallie Hill, she’s receiving all the medical care, love and support she needs: she has learned to walk on a leash and is gaining the courage to interact more bravely with people and to explore! She’s ready to be someone’s lovebug. If you’re interested in meeting this pretty girl, apply at HallieHill.com!

Mocha:

This sweet girl is rich in heart and personality. She loves nothing more than long walks where she can sniff to her heart’s content. We don’t recommend her with other pets: she wants to be someone’s spoiled one and only! If you want to meet Mocha, take the first step and apply at HallieHill.com.

Flint: This is one cool cat. He is remarkably intelligent for a young kitten and absolutely handsome with his striking tabby features and bold white chest. He is extremely playful and is a joy to spend time with.

September’s Adorable Adoptables

Sep 23, 2024

Welcome these adorable animals below to Hallie Hill and they are up for adoption this September. Fill out an application to come out to HHAS to meet these wonderful animals! Hallie Hill conducts meet + greets and adoptions by appointment only.

Hunter

Hunter is a spirited and charming boy who adores life to the fullest! He’s very friendly with other dogs and enjoys swimming in the sanctuary’s pond. Hunter is a very sweet boy who is always ready for playtime. Hunter can feel a bit anxious around new canine friends but he warms up beautifully as time goes by. Excitement can make him slightly ‘mouthy,’ but he responds well to a ‘sit’ command followed by a delicious treat. Visit halliehill.com and apply today to meet Hunter.

Marvin

Marvin is a wonderful dog of small to medium size who interacts well with other dogs. Unfortunately, Marvin feels very insecure when visiting new places and meeting new people. As a result, he does not appreciate long walks in unfamiliar areas or having visitors in his home. After Marvin becomes comfortable with his new home and family, he may attempt to bite those that he does not recognize as “family members.” Therefore, it’s necessary to place him in a separate room or kennel when expecting visitors. To arrange a meeting with Marvin, please submit an application at HallieHill.com.

Marci

Marcie is a charming Tortoiseshell cat who does not seek out other cats, but will tolerate their presence. She has a fondness for treats and canned food and enjoys affection from her human companions. To arrange a meeting with Marcie, please submit an application at HallieHill.com.

LeeAnn

LeeAnn is a charming girl with a lot to express. She’s quite vocal, perhaps longing for a warm home filled with love and care. Her favorite time is mealtime, and she’s always happy to finish off leftovers from her companions. Her fur is remarkably soft, and she has a way of melting into you when you pet her. For those who adore hounds, LeeAnn is sure to capture your heart! To arrange a meeting with LeeAnn, please submit an application at HallieHill.com.
