Clayton arrived at Hallie Hill from an overcrowded local shelter where he had been adopted and returned for being an adept ‘escape artist’. At Hallie Hill, Clayton has been exemplary, but he has recently begun to suffer from storm anxiety. This condition is worrying during the sudden thunderstorms common here in the summer. We administer medications and shelter him in the barn, yet our greatest wish is to find him a loving home where he can find solace in a closet or under a bed during storms.
Kellie Ackerman, a Lowcountry native, adores spending time with her 2.5 dogs – she counts her mother’s rescue Pit Bull as half hers!
She enjoys time with family and friends. Kellie can often be found on the water, fishing or boating, and she has a passion for travel. Kellie holds a special affection for all the animals at Hallie Hill, particularly Clayton, who captures her heart by reminding her of Poncho, her own youngest dog who also has a wild spirit. Volunteers such as Kellie are instrumental in providing the necessary enrichment for dogs like Clayton who live at the sanctuary while they wait for adoption.
