In honor of an amazing animal advocate, and wonderful human being! Thank you Jesse Adams for all the good you have done!! Peaceful transition to you and love and support to all those missing you.
We are heartbroken by the loss of Jesse Adams, founder of Raincoast Dog Rescue Society, a dear friend of SPCA International, and a hero to animals. 🤍
Jesse believed that helping the world’s most vulnerable animals was not only the right thing to do, but it was the only thing to do in a time of heartbreaking crisis. Jesse dedicated his life to saving animals and helping the people who refused to leave them behind. He knew the great risks of his work. But he did it anyway. Because if not him, who?
Tragically, Jesse lost his life while working to protect animals in one of the most dangerous regions of Ukraine. There will never be another light like Jesse, or another human with his endless energy, enthusiasm, and compassion for making the world a kinder place. His light lives on in every animal he rescued, in the eyes of those who are here today just because of him.
We were so fortunate to call Jesse our friend and to have worked alongside him on animal rescue efforts around the world. There was never an animal who Jesse would refuse to save, no matter the circumstances. We will never forget the hope he brought to animals and people facing their darkest moments.
Our hearts are with Jesse’s dearest loved ones and his entire team at Raincoast Dog Rescue Society. We will honor Jesse every day through our continued commitment to helping the world’s most vulnerable.
Jesse, you were, and always will be, a hero.
