Today is day three of our 12 days of Christmas!

Some people might find the sound of coyotes to be a little bit eerie, but here at Walking Wild we think it is one of Nature's prettiest melodies. The three coyotes in this video are Morgana, Cloak and Dagger. These three sweet little coyotes last winter we're stuck in tiny wire cages sealed shut. They were terrified, could barely stand up due to the size of their cages and some were living with deceased coyotes as their cages were never intended to be opened again once they were placed inside. These sweet coyotes lived in a horror house known as a urine/fur farm. Thankfully that isn't where their story ended and we were able to partner with earlier this year to give some of the coyotes from this nightmare a safe and loving forever sanctuary.

We are only able to save the lives of every animal that falls Walking Wild home with your support. Without you many of the animals here at Walking Wild would not be alive today. Without you we wouldn't be able ot provide our animals with the exceptioanl level of care that allows all of our animals to live a happy, healthy and fun filled life! We are asking you to join us this Christmas season and give the gift of life! Visit walkingwildrescue.org or click the link in our stories or bio to donate today! Thank you to everyone that supports our mission!

Today kicks off our 12 days of Christmas with one very special fox, Cogsworth!

Did you know that Cogsworth is the oldest fox here at Walking Wild? Infact, we don't know of any captive bred red species fox right now at another facility that is older than him! Cogsworth is 15 years old and such a sweet and ornery little old man. He loves to fling his kibble all over the ground after it is filled to see if there may be some hidden treasure, like looking for the prize in the cereal box. His vision isn't the best anymore, but he can still nip a finger if someone tries to boop his nose, he is not a boop fan. Cogsworth lives with Lumiere and Scuttle and is still king of his crew.

Cogsworth came to us in 2022 after being used as a breeder on a fur farm for 12 years. On the fur farm Cogsworth lived in a small wire cage with is mate, (Mrs. Potts was his mate and she sadly passed away within 36 hours of rescue due to her extreme health issues) He has more than one medical issue when he arrived and with his age we weren't sure how long he would make it, but we poured everything we could into him, and here we are three years later with a happy little old man.

Lives like Cogsworth are only able to be saved and cared for with your support. Without you Cogsworth would have died in a tiny wire cage never having run, played or gotten treats. Without you we wouldn't be able ot provide our animals with the excewptioanl level of care that has allowed this sweet old man to live to 15 years old! We are asking you to join us this Christmas season and give the gift of life! Visit walkingwildrescue.org or click the link in our stories or bio to donate today! Thank you to everyone that supports our mission!

Figaro was feeling the glamor shot today. Figaro was surrendered to us four by a wonderful woman who needed to get her to a safe place within just a few hours. David hopped in the car right after we got the call to get Figaro. Figaro found a fast BFF with Pinocchio and later Jiminy. Figaro loves to climb and is quite the social butterfly. Love you Figgy girl!

Today is Giving Tuesday. We are asking you to join us in saving lives like Otto today. Otto was purchased by a loving family that due to life circumstances had to surrender him urgently. Because of support from wonderful fox lovers like you, we were able to say yes and quickly help. We can't continue to save lives and say yes when an animal needs us without you. Thank you for partnering with us this to give the gift of life!

Today is Giving Tuesday. We are asking you to join us in saving lives like Hei Hei today. Hei Hei wandered in to a good Samaritan's Barn with more skin visible than fur, covered in bloody scabs due to severe mange and fleas and starving. This little fox at just about 5 months old was abandoned and left for dead. Thankfully the barn of the Good Samaritan that he wandered into reached out to us and we had him on a private flight to a rescue within 24 hours. Hei Hei is now happy, healthy and almost all of his fur has grown back in. We can't continue to save lives without you. Thank you for partnering with us this to give the gift of life!

Happy Monday morning from these three cuddle bugs! Carl, Roz and Russell weren't quite ready to get up this morning.

Sponsors:

We have launched our giving Tuesday fundraiser. We have two different fundraisers this . We know that everyone likes giving in different ways, some like giving monetary donations and others like giving needed items, so we have a fundraiser for everyone's giving preferences. We are 100% reliant on your gifts to continue caring for our animals and saving lives, so thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.

Monetary Giving - Let's raise $1,000 this Giving Tuesday. These funds will be used for vet care, as we have an expensive vet day approaching as our recent little boy intakes get neutered. Although this vet visit will be more than $1,000 this will be put towards covering part of that bill.

Item Giving - We still need heaters and cords to complete getting all of our new enclosures wired up and heated. We are still in need of six heaters (five are on a Black Friday deal right now) and quite a few more cords. We need these items quickly as winter is upon us and no one likes being cold or having a temporarily frozen water bucket.

Charlotte and Tagalong are two of our more unique colored fox here at Walking Wild. Both these girls are captive bred, man made, color morphs of a red fox and do not occur in the wild. Both of these color morphs cause fox to have shorter life expectancy, due to the breeding that took place to create them. Tagalong, the fox that is standing is a color called sapphire. Sadly sapphire fox have a very short life expectancy. Tagalong is a year and a half and is in great overall health, which is amazing for her color morph and we are so happy she is!! Charlotte is a color morph called a glacier red. Charlotte is also a year and a half and in great health as well. Both these girls are purchased to be "pets" Spring of 2024 and after a few weeks the families that had them realized a fox wasn't a pet, even captive bred, and surrendered them to us. We are honored to give these girls their loving forever home!

It's time for Walking Wild's version of Black Friday! Today we are going to share stories and facts about our "black" colored foxes.

Although these red foxes are mostly black in color, their color morph is called silver. It can also be referred to as Melanistic!

Spending is our pretty silver fox in this photo. Shenzi was surrendered to us by her owner three years ago. After trying to make a fox work for their family for over a year, Shenzi's first family decided that a fox just wasn't a good fit for them. Captive bred fox, although adorable, are not a pet like we think of when we hear that wors. Here at Walking Wild, we never call a fox a pet, because they just aren't and that sets an unrealistic expectation as to what a captive bred fox is like.

Walking Wild Rescue

Founded in 2020 Walking Wild is a non-profit organization that rescues and provides a safe haven for captive bred fox and wolf dogs. We provide every animal with the love and respect they deserve and educate the public about the cruelty of the fur industry and what the reality of welcoming a fox or wolf dog into your family is.

Foxes: Currently, in the United States, captive bred foxes are being raised two ways, either born on a fur farm to be pelted or bred for the pet industry. Foxes come to Walking Wild from a variety of circumstances. We provide a safe haven for foxes rescued from fur farms, surrendered by owners that are no longer able to care for them and captive bred foxes that have been dumped in the wild and are not able to survive.

Many captive bred foxes are born and raised on a fur farm to be pelted. For foxes born on a fur farm a bleak existence lies ahead of them living in small cages and never touching grass, until they are pelted and hanging in someone’s closet.

Walking Wild will be working with fur farmers around the US to take foxes that they are willing to surrender. These foxes will either be pups that are injured or rejected by their mothers, foxes that are too small, sick, older foxes that are no longer of use to the farmer or foxes with coats that the farmer can’t use.
