ADOPT A FOX!

Sahara - born on March 14, 2003, Sahara came to
Zooville on March 21, 2003. Her mother had eaten
all of her siblings and chewed off Sahara's toes on one
foot and threw her out of the den box. She was
only a few grams and was tossed into the cold rain and
left to die. She was barely alive when the owner
found her, and called our Director immediately.
She was told, if she could keep her alive, she could
keep the fox. Barely breathing, hypothermic, and
given the smallest chance to live, we would not be
discouraged. It was touch and go for the first few
days, but as you can see, miracles happen if you have
faith. Sahara has been a great animal
ambassador for all these years, and we never forget how
blessed we are to have her.

Rey
- Rey was born sometime around May 1, 2010 and came to
Zooville on November 27, 2010. He was born in the
wild and taken in by someone who thought they were going
to make a pet out of him. When they realized what
they had done, and that this was not going to be the pet
they thought, they carried him into a wildlife refuge
and left him. By this time, he had been imprinted
and needed permanent placement. The facility he
was left at didn't have permanent housing, so they
called us to see if we had room, and the rest is
history.

Vixen - Vixen was also born sometime around
May1, 2010 in the wilds of Florida. She had
numerous health issues which required long-term care,
and spanned all of her most formative period.
While she doesn't like humans - because of all of the
treatments she needed - she does not fear them and
recognizes them as her food provider. By the time
she had healed enough to no longer require all that
care, she was in need of permanent placement.
Knowing that we had Rey, we were contacted to see if we
could house Vixen with him and give her a forever home.
We made the trip to South Florida on April 15, 2011 and
brought her to her new home.

Arlie - Arlie arrived in Zooville on November 4,
2011. She was born in the wild in another state
and as a kit was attacked by either a coyote or bobcat.
It caused her to lose one eye. She was the only
kit in the rehab center at the time, and given the
extent of her injuries and her age, she spent a lot of
time being handled by humans. As she got older and
more foxes arrived for rehab, Arlie was integrated in
with them in the hopes of being released. She
successfully learned how to hunt for herself with one
eye, but could never break her human bond. Arlie
plays well with other foxes, but her human imprinting
couldn't be broken. We have worked with this rehab
center in the past to provide a home for other vision
impaired animals, so they contacted us about Arlie.
Through the help of one of our awesome donors who
covered the airline expenses, Arlie was soon on her way.
Your support of our red fox family will enable us to
build this now family of 3 a larger habitat.
