‼️We are offering $100 for proof of Daniel’s whereabouts today. Have you seen him? If you fostered or adopted him, or if you know something, please reach out.‼️

Daniel was “rescued” by Humane Society of the Dunes in June 2022. He was originally at IACS Shelter Rescue Team (formerly called IACS Rescue) and Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) before HSotD pulled him. The founder of the rescue is Jane Hullsiek and the rescue is based out of Chesterton in Northwest Indiana (NWI).

Daniel was “rescue only” at the Indy shelter because he needed a dental surgery, and was very frightened after coming from a cat-hoarding situation.

On Daniel’s “freedom ride” post by IACS Shelter Rescue Team, Sara Burrell commented asking where the animals that Humane Society of the Dunes go after being pulled, pointing out that none were ever posted for adoption. IACS responded stating they receive “many updates from the rescue with photos”. Sara said she didn’t believe it, and said she’s sure they’re old photos and that none of the local shelters would allow Jane to pull animals which was why she was seeking shelters that were not familiar with her.

facebook comments. one commenter said 'Where are these animals pulled by the Humane Society of the Dunes going?? They are never put up for adoption!! THere are no adoption events either!! These animals just disappear!' IACS Shelter Rescue Team responded 'we receive many updates from the rescue with photos of the animals that go to this rescue.' The commenter responds, 'I don't believe it. I'm sure it's old picitures. Jane won't provide any records of intake/outtake. She doesn't even have ANY animals up for adoption on her page. Also no one in our area will allow her to pull animals so now she's seeking shelters that don't know her.' This last comment has 4 likes. IACS Shelter Rescue Team had no likes.

Humane Society of the Dunes pulled Daniel and never posted any updates about him. Did he go to a foster home? Did he get the medical care he needed? Did they find him an adopter? They have recently deleted their Facebook page, and emails asking for updates have recently been met with rudeness and hostility, with no updates provided.

Once again, we will pay $100 for proof of Daniel’s whereabouts. Please share.
