Today, we celebrate the life of one of our very own animal rescue champions, Kinsley James. 🕊️❤️
We first met Kinsley during our Miller Street Days. She was a volunteer and adoption counselor at FHS and, for years, served on the board of the Merit Pit Bull Foundation.
Despite her ongoing medical conditions and treatments, she was always ready to help our animals. She was a frequent foster who specialized in caring for bottle-baby puppies. She advocated passionately for Pit Bulls personally and professionally, and her efforts impacted so many underdogs and their Furever Families.
Kinsley was so young and had to fight hard for so long, but she never harped on her unfortunate circumstances. Instead, she spent her time surrounded by the people and animals she loved, and she truly made a difference in this world.
Kinsley’s passion for animal welfare was evident in every interaction, and her warmth, kindness, and compassion will forever be remembered. She left a lasting impact on our community, and her memory will continue to inspire us to carry forward the mission she cared so deeply about.
Her memorial service is today, February 5, 2025, at 2:00 PM at 3315 Silas Creek Pkwy, Winston-Salem. Our hearts are with Kinsley’s family, friends, and all who loved her. May she rest in peace, surrounded by the same love she so freely gave to others.
