Princess
Princess is the last of 116 animals that Jane Hullsiek of Humane Society of the Dunes took from Indianapolis Animal Care Services and IACS Shelter Rescue Team that we have posted. Most of those 116 are unaccounted for despite Jane’s claims they got adopted.
Of all the animals Jane took, she posted the most updates (4 posts and a comment) about Princess, who she called Princess Rose. For most rescues that’s actually a relatively small amount of updates/posts about an animal in their care.
Princess was rescue only at the Indy shelter because she had a strange gait, possibly caused by luxating patella(e). She came to the shelter originally after she was left chained in a basement, starving. She was described as very sweet and friendly by shelter staff.
Jane posted three photos of Princess in her own home the same day she left IACS (April 16, 2020). We know it’s Jane’s home because of the distinctive rugs which show up in almost all the “updates” she posted about the IACS animals plus her own pets. The next day she posted two more photos of Princess in her home, including a photo of an ill-advised meeting of her pet cat Mr. Gray with Princess, a rescue dog she had just brought home, with no separation and no leash to keep the cat safe. 🤷🏻♀️
She posted about Princess again in May and July of that year, with updates that again were photos taken in Jane’s home.

This is notable because these updates are seemingly legitimate updates, with apparent proof of medical care, spaced out over time, with substantial update information, unlike pretty much every other thing Jane ever posted (not legitimate updates). Perhaps Jane considered keeping Princess like she did with many other IACS dogs.
Jane also commented on an IACS post about Princess to say that she was getting along with her brother and sister, and the cats and bird (all Jane’s pets) and “enjoying her new home”. She neglected to tell the person it was her house.
After ~116ish days, we are definitely over the bullshit. Where is she, Jane? If she got adopted, how about you do the adopter a solid and tell them if they come forward by 11:59pm tomorrow (Saturday), we will give them $200 for proof of life for Princess and answering a few questions as to how she left your care.
Princess also went to rescue the same day as a cat named Jalopy, who never merited any posts or updates or anything from Jane. 😑
