Pansy
‼️We are offering $300 for proof of Pansy’s whereabouts today. Have you seen her? If you fostered or adopted her, or if you know something, please reach out.‼️
Pansy was “rescued” by Humane Society of the Dunes on July 28, 2023. She was originally at IACS Shelter Rescue Team (formerly called IACS Rescue) and Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) before HSotD pulled her. The founder of the rescue is Jane Hullsiek. Humane Society of the Dunes is in Chesterton, in Northwest Indiana (NWI).
Pansy was “rescue only” at the Indy shelter because she was timid and fearful and needed time to warm up to new people. While at IACS, she had shown a lot of improvement and she had a self-proclaimed fan club of volunteers and staff who had come to adore her. She had come to the shelter with another dog, who was made available for adoption from IACS and did not go to rescue with Pansy.
Humane Society of the Dunes pulled Pansy in July 2023 and the only time they posted her on their Facebook page was in February 2024 when they posted a number of unusual “updates”. They posted a photo of Pansy in a tiled room with a purple rug and a black slip-lead. It was captioned, ‘Pansy says, “come on, let’s go”!’ The same room appeared in a few of the other “updates” Jane posted that same day. What Jane posted about Pansy is not an “update” given that the photo was sent to an IACS volunteer who had donated for Pansy the day after Pansy left IACS. It was not a recent photo nor was it a photo from a foster or adopter.
Although Jane with Humane Society of the Dunes continues to obtusely and steadfastly not understand what an update is to this day, we’d like an actual update on Pansy. Who fostered or adopted her? Where is she now?
Humane Society of the Dunes claims to have an adoptions coordinator, a foster coordinator, 69 foster homes, three people answering their email account and three people running their social media, yet contrary to all those claims seems to just be Jane operating pretty much solo except a few people sporadically helping her trap more stray animals and community cats. It’s time to find out where these animals went.
Once again, offering $200* for proof of Pansy’s whereabouts. It’s becoming clear that there must be some reason why all the adopters and fosters for Humane Society of the Dunes aren’t reaching out. What reason is that?
