Please do not hurt me or my mom. ♥️🦊♥️
We just temporarily moved to the neighborhood so we could be “safe.”
If you have suddenly seen a fox in the yard near your home, there is a good reason for this.
It is denning season. Between the end of March and early April, a mother fox will give birth to between 4 and 5 kits (a baby fox is called a kit).
A coyote will often find a fox den, dig out the babies, and kill them.
A mother fox knows this and will frequently choose a den site close to people, away from where coyotes generally go.
A fox will often den under a porch, shed, garage, barn, or side of a hill, trying to keep her little family safe.
Please offer them a short-term rental because this is not a permanent situation.
If you are lucky enough to see how beautiful an adult fox is, or witness the kits playing (at a distance of course), you will be glad you did!
It is not uncommon for Red Foxes to change dens several times during the season, so you may not see them for long.
Kits are slow to develop and will not leave the den until they are about a month old. Foxes do not live in a den year-round, only when a mother has babies.
During the summer as the kits grow older, you will see less and less of them, and by September everyone will have packed up and moved on. Please do not call a service to “relocate them”, they will often be killed.
If you see a fox during the day, it does not mean she is rabid. A mother fox works tirelessly to feed her kits and will often be out during daylight hours foraging for food.
Foxes are omnivores, generally feeding on berries, grasses, and small rodents. They are solitary and prefer to be left alone.
They do not want to hunt and eat your children, mate with your dog, or kill your cat.
A fox just wants a place to raise her family safely, please allow her to do that.

I found this dog in Woodridge subdivision. I have him secured. Any ideas on whose dog he is would be greatly appreciated. Trying to find the owner. I’m keeping him overnight and will be taking him in the morning to get scanned. He is super sweet, neutered, male, with a blue collar. Definitely someone’s dog!

Unfortunately, it is summer time which is the busy season for all shelters and rescues. We are all pushing the limits. That said, all animals have a 3 to 6-day hold at WBRPSAC depending on signs of ownership. We are tirelessly looking for positive outcomes for these animals and if determined to be adoptable, they could be adopted, put into foster care, or transferred out.
It is important that we find the owner as soon as possible and they come to reclaim their animal within the time frame allotted by ordinance. We cannot promise the animal will still be in our care after the expired hold period. For more information on our impound procedure, fines, and daily boarding fees, follow this link to our website. https://www.wbrcouncil.org/.../Ordinances-Impound-Fines...
