Starlight

Starlight was “rescued” by Humane Society of the Dunes in July 2020. 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 Northwest Indiana (NWI)

Starlight was “rescue only” and “urgent” at the Indy shelter. He had been found lying on a sidewalk, emaciated and dehydrated. Upon examination at IACS it was determined he had severe dental disease and stomatitis. He was weak and limp and doing very poorly. Humane Society of the Dunes in Chesterton, Indiana pulled him from the shelter. Hopefully Starlight got the medical care he needed.

Humane Society of the Dunes never posted any updates about Starlight and their Facebook page was recently deleted. When donors reached out to the rescue in early 2024 asking for updates on 53 animals (including Starlight) they had donated for, Jane stated she would send their letter to her lawyer then stopped responding. There is an Indiana attorney general investigation through their consumer protection division because donors were concerned about misuse of donations based on lack of updates and the rescue director’s unwillingness to provide updates when asked.
