Bagheera

Bagheera was “rescued” by Humane Society of the Dunes on April 7, 2020. He was originally at Indianapolis Animal Care Services before HSotD pulled him. The founder of the rescue is Jane Hullsiek and the rescue is based out of Chesterton in Northwest Indiana (NWI).

Although “rescue only” animals are normally posted by the IACS Shelter Rescue Team page (formerly called IACS Rescue), Humane Society of the Dunes pulled him before he was posted publicly, so we don’t know why he was rescue only. Oftentimes the rescue coordinator at IACS would reach out to rescues privately without posting the animals publicly, so this was not an uncommon occurrence. Through public records requests to the shelter, we know he was listed as a 5 year old neutered male.

Humane Society of the Dunes never posted any updates about Bagheera and their Facebook page is now deleted. The director of the rescue has not been forthcoming at all about updates on these animals and we have yet to find any adopters or fosters of these 110+ IACS animals taken by them.

We are offering a $100 gift to anyone who can provide proof of Bagheera’s whereabouts today. If you fostered or adopted him, or if you know what happened to him, please reach out. It’s never too late to speak up.
