Looks like I am going to have to wait on this load of laundry. Didn't get it loaded up fast enough and now Andy, Giggles and Gaston have claimed it as theirs. They are just too cute and comfy to make move.

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.
Have you heard we are on our way to opening our doors to our community and welcoming all of you out to visit our amazing crew!?! We are currently hosting a collaborative fundraiser with our dear friends Arctic Fox Daily Wildlife Rescue, Inc. The half of the funds that are coming to Walking Wild are being used to complete the necessary projects to open our doors and share our amazing crew with you in person!

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!
We are currently partnering on a collaborative fundraiser with our amazing friend
The funds raised will help both of us complete two big projects that will have a huge impact on our sanctuaries. For us at Walking Wild, it will allow us to open our doors to visitors. Thank you to everyone that has donated!!

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. 😄

Two weeks ago we shared that the first kits of 2024 arrived. We would like to officially introduce these four sweet little sisters, Pepper, Sugar, Puddles and Dipper! Kit seasons might be the cutest time of the year, but it is also one of the craziest with breeders and owners of accidental litters reaching out with llitters of little ones that have been rejected by their moms or mom's passed away that they aren't able to care for and families that weren't prepared for sharing their life with a little fox or aware of legalities, but we're mesmerized by the cuteness, but need our help once reality sets in.
These four cuties are in need of sponsors. Please send us a DM if you would like to be part of their story.

Arctic Fox Daily Wildlife Rescue, Inc. x Walking Wild Rescue Part 3: Let’s talk money. We have big plans! (Please don’t just scroll past this!) But… like other rescues in our niche space, we’ve also seen a significant decrease in donations the last several months.
So, we have a challenge for you:
Can you spare $5.00? That’s all we’re asking from you! We did some math, and with the number of followers combined between our two rescue accounts, we would only need 3% of our Instagram (NOT even counting Facebook or TikTok) followers to donate five bucks in order to hit our goal! This is totally doable, friends! 👏🏼

Kit season is upon us and Spring is one of the most costly times a year for us at Walking Wild as we intake and care for little ones in addition to our current crew. We also have to begin expansions, as these little ones continue to get big, they will move out of the nursery. Some will join existing groups and others will need their own enclosures. Why are so many kits surrendered at a young age? The three most common reasons is they are purchased on a whim, are not able to be kept due to legalities or mom's have passed away. Our $4,000 goal will help with some of these expenses.

It means we are asking all of our wonderful followers to support our life-saving mission by donating just $5. Of course, you can donate more if you want, but imagine how many more lives we can save if everyone donated $5. That's less than a Chipotle burrito and most coffee orders!

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.

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! ❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️ Walking Wild Rescue is a 501c3 non-profit organization located in central Ohio.

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. ❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊❤️🦊 Walking Wild Rescue Is a 501c3 non profit organization located in central Ohio.

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. Have you heard we are on our way to opening our doors to our community and welcoming all of you out to visit our amazing crew!?!

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 501c3 non-profit organization located in central Ohio.

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. 😄 Why is it so important for Melody to take part in fox activities, when it is safe?

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.
In addition we will be providing a home to captive bred pet foxes that are no longer wanted or able to be cared for by their owners. Some people purchase foxes from breeders, excited to have a cool pet, but many of those people don’t understand what it is like to own a fox. People in these situations often end up neglecting their fox or feel that they have no choice but to abandon it in the wild where it has a slim chance of survival due to being captive bred and having imprinted on people.
Wolf Dogs: Owning a wolf dog is legal in 38 states. Because of how easy it is to purchase a wolf dog from a breeder, many find themselves in the homes of people that expect them to act like a regular dog. This unrealistic expectation can result, in some cases, ending in abuse, as a bait dog for dog fighting or hunting training, or being dumped in the wild. Walking Wild is here to provide a sanctuary for these amazing animals where they can be just who they are and respected and loved for it.
Although owning a wolf dog is currently legal in 38 states, each state views a wolf dog differently. Some states view them no different than a regular dog while others require permits or have lethal laws in effect if one were to bite someone. The truth is that a wolf dogs are very different from regular domestic dogs. Even a low content wolf dog, less than 50% wolf, still acts like a wolf in some ways. Because of how different a wolf dog can be from a domestic dog, many find themselves no longer wanted by their family and in need of a safe place to call home.
Here at Walking Wild Rescue, we will provide a safe haven for wolf dogs whose owners are no longer able to take care of them, those who are being neglected/abused and those that have been abandoned at a shelter or let go in the wild.
Walking Wild will provide all of its wolf dogs a safe place to be as wolf like as they were intended to be.
