It is with mixed emotions that we announce our intention to retire as Director and Treasurer of the Humane Association of the Lowcountry (HAL) effective December 31, 2024. 

It has been an honor to be a part of this wonderful charity since it began in September 2005. Along the way, we met many kind, caring, generous and dedicated people (e.g., volunteers, adopters, benefactors, veterinarians, trappers, and kindred spirits). Working together, we saved and improved the lives of many cats and dogs in Beaufort County.

We are turning over the reins to Teri Knowlton and Judy Reese.  Teri has been leading the HAL foster and rescue program for the past few years. She also has experience working with an animal rescue charity in California. Judy brings board member experience to HAL. She has been a HAL volunteer for several years partnering with Teri. They are both positioned to lead HAL into the future. 

We thank you for believing in and supporting HAL over the past 19 years and hope you will continue to support HAL under the new leadership.
