HALLIE HILL ANIMAL SANCTUARY
While we can't change an animal's past, we can rewrite their future.
Programs and results
What we aim to solve
In the United States, hundreds of thousands of animals face death each year for the simple fact they are homeless. Providing respite and rehabilitation to prepare many for adoption and providing lifelong sanctuary for those who are not adoptable makes a difference in the lives of the animals at Hallie Hill. We also address the problem of pet overpopulation by providing humane education with our community outreach and encourage spaying and neutering of pets. One day pets will not be discarded, but treated with the compassion and respect they deserve. Hallie Hill aims to end the problem of cats and dogs being euthanized for lack of a home. Many dogs and cats are not adopted from shelters and rescues because of advanced age, lack of socialization, medical or behavioral issues. Hallie Hill provides a place for dogs and cats to reside until a loving adopter comes along, or a lifelong home if they are never chosen for adoption.
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Volunteer Program
Hallie Hill Volunteers will have the opportunity to give each of our animals the special love, care and attention they need.
Volunteers assist in hands-on upkeep of the sanctuary. From brushing and bathing animals, to cleaning up old toys and washing water bowls, our volunteers cover all bases. They also help by cleaning our barn, sweeping doghouse porches, and even shovel dirt to cover our furry friends’ holes!
In addition, volunteers will spend time socializing with our animals by playing with toys, giving out treats, going on walks and more. Volunteers also assist in our pets’ lifestyle development by teaching commands, taking our water-loving friends to the pond, and guiding energetic animals to play in our ring pen.
The list of volunteer responsibilities goes on, and no matter the volunteer, we can assure a hands-on and fulfilling experience.
Feral Cat Program
Hallie Hill provides food, shelter, and water to a colony of feral cats. Upon intake, the cats are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. They are held for a two month acclimation period in a large enclosure to become familiar with the surroundings before being released.
Providing Sanctuary
Hallie Hill's largest program is taking in dogs and cats from other shelters or rescues, or the general public and providing them with any needed medical care, food, and shelter.

Charting impact
Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.
What is the organization aiming to accomplish?
Hallie Hill aims to end the problem of cats and dogs being euthanized for lack of a home. Many dogs and cats are not adopted from shelters and rescues because of advanced age, lack of socialization, medical or behavioral issues. Hallie Hill provides a place for dogs and cats to reside until a loving adopter comes along, or a lifelong home if they are never chosen for adoption.
What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?
1. We spay/neuter animals in our care. 2. We have an adoption program to find homes for the animals in our care. 3. We visit homes to offer assistance with acquiring veterinary services (including spay/neuter) for low income families. 4. We provide food, dog houses, and hay bedding for pets of families in need. 5. We assist in trap, neuter, release of feral cats in our local community. 6. We visit local elementary schools to provide humane education.
What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?
Our facility is currently able to house up to 150 dogs and 50 cats. We receive funding to provide them all with food, shelter, and medical care. The public can view our adoptable animals online through various pet adoption websites, social media, and our own website. The public can schedule appointments to meet the animals in our care. We also have an enrichment program to help socialize animals that arrive at the sanctuary fearful of human interaction. The enrichment program also serves to raise the quality of care of all the sanctuary animals.
What have they accomplished so far and what's next?
We have provided sanctuary for almost a thousand animals and found new adoptive homes for hundreds. Hopefully, we will be able to expand to provide sanctuary for more animals and other species of animals besides dogs and cats.
