A Plea for Help: In Loving Memory of Jim Tobin
With a heavy heart and a deep sense of loss, we announce that Jim Tobin, husband of Pam Tobin passed away suddenly on January 17, 2025, from a major cardiac event just six days before his 70th birthday. His sudden and unexpected death has left his wife, family, and the countless animals he loved and cared for in a state of shock and despair.
For over 43 years, Jim and Pam worked side by side, not only as life partners but as a united force in their shared passion for helping animals together. They ran a dog rescue and dedicated their lives to saving abused, abandoned, and unwanted dogs—many of which were saved from euthanasia. Jim’s love for animals was unparalleled, and he devoted countless hours, energy, and financial resources to ensure these creatures had a chance at life. The same dedication he showed to animals extended to his family, friends, and anyone in need. Jim was always the first to lend a helping hand, offering support to those who needed it, whether on two legs or four. His kindness, compassion, and willingness to help others defined him, and he truly left a lasting mark on the hearts of everyone who knew him.
Now, with his sudden passing, Pam is left in an incredibly difficult situation. Jim's absence leaves an insurmountable void that cannot be filled, and the financial stability she faithfully relied on is no longer there. The rescue operation they built together is now at risk. There are still animals that need care and attention, and Pam is struggling to manage not only her own grief but also the logistics of continuing the work that Jim was so passionately dedicated to.
Pam, and the animals Jim loved are in desperate need of financial assistance to get through this incredibly challenging time. Donations made in Jim’s memory will not only help support Pam but, will ensure that the rescue continues its important work of saving lives, just as Jim would have wanted.
Your generosity, no matter how big or small, would mean the world to his family during this heartbreaking time. Every donation will help prop them up until they can regain their footing and move forward, just as Jim always did for others. Thank you in advance for honoring Jim’s legacy of kindness, compassion, and dedication to making the world a better place.
With sincere gratitude
