We are deeply saddened to hear of the tragic loss of Jesse Adams from Raincoast Dog Rescue who was working in Ukraine to evacuate animals from the frontlines.
Jesse was an incredible help to us in the early days of our Koh Koh Pups journey. During the first year of Covid, when we were inundated with dogs in desperate need of help and homes, he shared our posts and helped us reach a much wider audience.
Raincoast Dog Rescue and Jesse’s work were so highly regarded that his support gave us the much-needed boost we needed to get our rescue off the ground. He is a huge part of the reason so many of our dogs found their forever homes in the Vancouver area. We will always be grateful for that.
Jesse was also always willing to offer advice and guidance. Although we never had the opportunity to meet in person, I truly appreciated him reaching out and supporting us during what was one of the most difficult periods of our journey.
The work Jesse did was an inspiration to us, and his dedication to helping animals, even in the most dangerous circumstances, is a powerful reminder of what it means to stand up for those who cannot speak for themselves.
His loss will be felt deeply across the animal rescue community. We are incredibly grateful that our paths crossed, even if only from afar, and that he played such an important role in our journey.
Our thoughts are with everyone who knew and loved Jesse, and with all those who worked alongside him to save the lives of animals in need.
Rest in peace, Jesse. Thank you for everything you did for us and for so many animals who might otherwise never have found their way home.
