Mayor’s next Indianapolis Animal Care Services director passes committee
INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The mayor’s new pick to lead Indianapolis Animal Care Services (IACS) is one step closer to being approved.
Amanda Dehoney-Hinkle’s appointment will move forward, and she could be approved by the City-County Council in August. Dehoney-Hinkle has served in various animal control leadership roles during her career, including as superintendent of Greenfield-Hancock Animal Management. This comes after the mayor’s previous pick to lead IACS was withdrawn after widespread opposition from the community.
Volunteers are now asking Dehoney-Hinkle to add a volunteer coordinator and say they’re ready to get back to work.
“All the volunteers are excited to have a fresh start, to start this new chapter,” said Jessica Perry, volunteer for IACS. “Again, we just really want to be able to help her. We want to be able to work with these animals and just have the ability to do that.”
The City-County Council’s next full meeting will be Monday, August 11.
