We would like to introduce everyone to baby Charlotte!
Some people go to the grocery and come back with groceries, this grocery trip we came back with a fox. Charlotte was purchased by a young couple who weren't able to care for her. A family member saw Charlotte needed a different environment and decided to take her and give her a place in their home. After a few days they realized Charlotte wasn't a good fit for their home and reached out to us for help. They happened to live within 20 minutes of us, so we were able to immediately help and push our grocery shopping back a few hours. Charlotte doesn't meet a stranger and is such a sweet and happy girl who is just obsessed with friends! She has joined our sweet little Maid Marian family. We are so glad the family reached out to us and little Charlotte wasn't continued to be passed around.
If you would like to be part of Charlotte's story she is in need of sponsors. Please send us a DM to learn more.

New Mulch day is loads of fun! Did you know we have to Mulch over 24,000 sq/ft of outdoor enclosure space regularly? We use playground mulch (playground mulch is cut in such a way that it is extra safe and won't cause potential splinters) for all the outside portions of our enclosures to reduce mud and provide digging enrichment fun! Remulching is a big job, but it is one of the foxes favorite days!

Melody's fox interactions have begun to transform as some of our foxes have started to form a very strong bond with her and her with them. Henry is one of those foxes. Henry is a big-time mommy's boy, and he has decided to expand his people circle and welcome Melody in as well.
Henry was rescued from the fur trade at three years old right before he was almost used for taxidermy. After years of trauma, Henry finally for the fox and human family he had longed for. Not all fur farm foxes enjoy or want human touch. They have experienced too much abuse at human hands. However, Henry is an extra special boy and was able to leave his trauma behind him, and nothing makes him happier than mommy, and now Melody lovins.
Why do we include Melody in as many fox activities as we can and encourage her interactions with them at such a young age? Melody is part of the foxes core family which means they need to be comfortable around her and her around them. They both have to learn how to interact appropriately with one another. Plus, Melody is OBSESSED with her canine friends. Nothing makes her happier than being with them. It is important to note that Melody only physically interacts with foxes we trust to behave appropriately, and we are always holding her when any fox is around.

Did you know that fox can learn tricks? Fox are extremely intelligent animals. Training time for our crew is an important part of their routine. Not only does it provide mental stimulation, training time is also lots of fun for everyone and is a great way to continually grow and strengthen our bond.

Trying to clean takes a little bit longer right now, but it is lots more fun! Milo is hanging out inside right now, as he is just a little bit too small to move into an enclosure, but in a few weeks he will start gradually making that transition along with his friend that we will be introducing tomorrow! Thankfully, we have a house full of baby loving foxes and dogs that adore having little ones around and hanging out with them till they are old enough to move into their big boy and girl digs!
How did such a sweet little baby find his way to us? Milo was purchased from a breeder, but after just 3 days, the person that purchased him was no longer able to keep him and needed to find a new home. She reached out to us with only having hours to get him to a new home due to her circumstances. We jumped into action and, with the help of one of our wonderful volunteers, had him safely at Walking Wild three hours later.

Stitch is one of our amazing little tripods here at Walking Wild. With having only one back leg, he needs a little help scratching and getting his winter coat gone on his left side, and I am happy to help!
You may be wondering what happened that caused stitch to have to have his rear left leg amputated. He lived with a family that loved him very much, but his medical care was getting to be overwhelming as they were having to drive hours to get him care for his broken leg that kept repeatedly breaking in addition to discovering having a captive bred fox was illegal where they lived. Because of these things, they decided to surrender him to us. Due to the length of time Stitch had been in a cast, the leg was not savable, and the best solution to help Stitch live a happy and healthy life was amputation. Stitch never missed a beat after surgery and was able to do all the fun activities that his broken leg had been holding a 4 month old kit back from enjoying! Stitch is a sweet,
very athletic little man who just needs a little help getting that scratch on his left side!

Walking Wild Rescue is a 501(c)3 non-profit fox rescue/sanctuary located in central Ohio. We rescue and provide a safe haven for captive bred fox and other non-wild animals that are in need of a place to call home. Our foxes are surrendered to us from the fur trade, from owners who purchased them as pets and realize a fox isn't a good fit for them, are illegally owned, abused or neglected. All the animals that find refuge here at Walking Wild are captive bred. This means they are not wild animals and are generations removed from any wild animal. Not only is releasing a captive bred animal illegal, it is a death sentence and can create a very negative impact on their wild cousins. All the animals here at Walking Wild are living their best life in an environment tailored to their specific needs. To learn more, visit walkingwildrescue.org!
Melody would like to introduce everyone to our newest little surrender. This little boy is just about 4 weeks old. He was purchased from a breeder, but after just 3 days the person that purchased him was no longer able to keep him and needed to find a new home. She reached out to us on Sunday with only having hours to get him to a new home due to her circumstances. We jumped into action and, with the help of one of our wonderful volunteers, had him safely at Walking Wild 3 hours later.
You may be wondering why she didn't return him to the breeder she purchased him from. It's actually quite common that people would rather surrender a little one or rehome them than return them to the breeder. There are a few reasons for this, but the most common one, and the reason for this situation, is that the breeder was not providing the best care, environment or behaving very ethically and the purchaser didn't feel that it was in the kits best interest or safe to be returned back to that environment or situation.

Our four little kits, Puddles, Dipper, Pepper and Sugar, are finally big enough to join their new foxy family. This weekend the girls joined our 101 Dalmatians crew and everyone, adult and baby alike, were very excited! Our matriarch and patriarch of this crew, Pongo and Purdita were breeders on a fur farm. They were surrendered to us along with their six kits, who they have been able to remain with here with us. Pongo and Purdita are the BEST foxy parents and adore babies. Because of this and the rest of the crews fun and baby loving personalities they were the perfect family for these four little girls. Purdita and Pongo have adopted them like they were their own and the rest of the crew is excited to have their new little sisters!

I think it is safe to say these two girls are going to be BFFs! Bonnie is such a sweet and special little fox.
Why is it so important for Melody to take part in fox activities, when it is safe? She is part of their core family and one day caretakers. They need to be just as comfortable with her as they are with David and I. It is also important for Melody to know how to appropriately interact with the all animals and making that part of everyday life will make it second nature for her.

It's Melody Monday time! (On Tuesday 🙃)
Today Melody joined me for my morning hang out time with our Alice in Wonderland crew. Alice LOVES her morning hang out time, so I have been working on Alice getting comfortable with Melody from outside her enclosure before integrating Melody into one of Alice's favorite times of day. It worked beautifully because Alice was excited to welcome Melody into our morning time. Tarrant and Bill aren't as disrupted by a change to routine abs they both do great with Melody so I wasn't worried about a slow integration on their part. 😄
