Meet new director of Indianapolis Animal Care Services

Patty Spitler introduces us to Amanda Dehoney-Hinkle, who has been appointed as the new director of Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS), where she aims to improve animal welfare and adoption rates.

IACS handles nearly 14,000 animals annually, providing shelter and care for dogs and cats in need of homes. Currently, the organization is waiving adoption fees to encourage more adoptions, particularly for long-term residents like Deuce, a dog who has been at the shelter for over 175 days

Dehoney-Hinkle has extensive experience in animal welfare, having worked at IACS previously from 2010 to 2016 and spending nine years in Greenfield. Her background also includes work in the medical side of animal welfare, contributing to her comprehensive understanding of the field. The shelter is open for business seven days a week from noon to 7 p.m., inviting the public to visit and meet animals available for adoption.
