Our hearts are incredibly heavy to hear the news about Jesse, founder of Raincoast Dog Rescue and a true pillar in our local animal rescue community.
Jesse fearlessly dedicated his life to helping animals in need. Tragically, he lost his life while working on the front lines in Ukraine to rescue and evacuate animals affected by the war. The animals he helped, the people he inspired, and the impact of his work will never be forgotten.
Our deepest condolences go out to Jesse’s family, friends, everyone at Raincoast Dog Rescue, and all those who knew and loved him. Rest easy, Jesse. ❤️🩹🐾
