Boulder City Animal Shelter Waives Adoption Fees in Memory of Kelly Fox
When a community loses someone who gave selflessly, the most meaningful tribute is the work that continues in their name. Boulder City Animal Shelter announced that adoption fees will be fully sponsored for the next four months thanks to the generosity of Kelly Fox’s family and friends — a heartfelt gift that turns loss into lasting kindness.
Kelly’s Legacy Lives On
Kelly Fox was known as a true friend to shelter animals — the kind of person who showed up consistently, always ready to lend a hand, offer encouragement, or comfort animals waiting for a second chance. Her compassion left a mark on everyone she met, both human and four-legged and will continue to do so.
In honoring her memory, Kelly’s loved ones chose to extend that care outward. Their decision to sponsor adoptions means every animal who finds a home over the next four months will do so under the warmth of her legacy. Each tail wag, each joyful “gotcha day,” becomes part of the ongoing story of a woman who believed that every dog deserves love.
A Gift That Changes Lives
Adoption fees can often be a hurdle for families ready to open their homes but hesitant about upfront costs. This sponsorship removes that barrier, helping more dogs transition from shelter life to family life — and opening up space for others still waiting for rescue. It’s a ripple effect of compassion that will touch dozens of lives, both animal and human, before spring arrives.
This honor should inspire others to make a difference in similar ways — through volunteering, fostering, donating, or even starting small acts of kindness that build toward something larger. Boulder City Animal Shelter continues to share updates on available dogs and adoption opportunities through its website and social media channels.
To Kelly’s family and friends: thank you for carrying her light forward with such generosity. And to every dog who finds a home in the months ahead — may your journey be filled with the same unconditional love she gave so freely.
