❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 RIP Mikayla Raines 🌈 ❤️‍🩹

Mikayla of 🦊Saveafox Corporation🦊 died by su***de after taking bullying to heart. She had a lot of mental health struggles, as many of us rescuers seem to have.

Why are we mental? Because we see the worst of humanity on a daily basis, multiple times a day. We deal with some of the cold hearted humans. We see animals shot, skinned alive, ran over, attacked by others animals and left with no medical attention- this is just the tip of the iceberg.

Then as we’re trying to save that life, we have ALLLLL the haters talking behind our back. Saying we’re mean, we don’t know what we’re doing. We’re fat, too skinny, ugly, bad hair, bad teeth, lord knows they attack anything. Then they attack the way we do things.

This happens to every one of us. Because those same people are the ones that don’t know what they doing. They don’t like themselves. They try rescue because they want to be “someone”- to be known.

This is why you never see me. It’s about the animals.

This young lady was a HUGE advocate for foxes. And dammit- foxes need help too! Every single animal needs rescuers to help them.

I want to call out to everyone who’s been bullied. Everyone who is on the ledge and thinks they can’t take it anymore- know this- you come here and I will defend you. We will stand together- just take my hand, not your life. We can get through it.

People are ALWAYS going to be mean just like people will always support you.

The balance is ying and yang. You can’t have live without hate. You can’t have joy without sadness.

PLEASE DONT LET THEM WIN. DO NOT LET THE HARD DAY WIN!!!!

We cannot lose anymore rescuers. There’s not enough already.

I challenge all of you, do not let the bullies win.

Let’s be Mikayla Strong!!! 💪 stop bullying in its tracks. Say something. Stand with them, do not let them stand alone.

I have ALWAYS AND WILL REMAIN ONE WHO STANDS UP AND WILL DEFEND THOSE WHO WILL BE BULLIED. God made me a special kinda human and I have zero tolerance for that. He also made me strong and mean. 🤣

Mikayla- I pray you find some peace. Your people got your babies until you see them again. RIH sweet girl 😔💔😭

💓🩵❤️‍🩹 Happy Gotcha Day Binx!!!!! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

Little Binx somehow got out of house and to this day, no one is quite sure how?! 🥷

Mom was posting and looking all over, posted in her neighborhood page and then found a few neighbors caught this ninja on camera!!!! Putting traps and feeding raccoons seemed to be what was happening…… and no luck on recovering Binx.

Then a few folks recommended us, so she reached out. 😀💪💪

We’re always down for some shenanigans!!!!

He was going within a few block radius and we kind of had him nailed down luckily at a house very close to their own. That family was super cool and put food out with cameras so we can entice him over to get him eating so we could then move to phase 2. Luckily, we achieved that goal and tonight we decided to go live. We were there early and Mom and Keegan were present when we went over and set everything up so they knew the instructions and what to do and at that point everything was contingent on Binx boy!

He strolled over just before 1 AM and did not disappoint. Circled the Trap one or two times and decided he was going to risk it to go in for the Yummy chicken, wet food, catnip, and all the goodies that were placed in there.

Binx was officially recovered by 1:00am!!!

He was extracted but had a hard time in the trap and was furiously trying to get out. Luckily Mom and Keegan were close by and they were able to zip over within a few minutes and sn**ch them up. We got a couple beat up Paws but other than that Binx is doing good and he is happy to be home after his 7 day run!!!

Congratulations Family and Welcome to our Gotcha Club!!! And of course-

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY BINX!!!!

💓💓 DAISY IS CURRENTLY HOME SAFE AND SOUND!!!

This lil South Lyon lost pup went on a walk about when she ran into the garage and the the door opened. It was a crazy night for mom Sophie and family and we had everything ready for her return.

Luckily she was turned into Oakland County AC this morning and BECAUSE she was chipped, they knew who to call!!!

Welcome home Daisy!!!

It’s that time again. 🎇🎆🎆🎇🎇🎇🎆 🧨

We are 3 Weeks away from 4th of July.

Time to prepare- please get your pets meds if they require them. Call the vet Monday.

If you’re going to be away, leave instructions that your animal is NOT to be outside during this time. ‼️‼️🚫🚫🚫🚫

If your having guests over- get signs made to ensure gates and doors remain closed and DO NOT LET DOG/CAT OUT, is printed clearly. 🚫🚫🚫‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️

If your dog was anything like mine, I’ve found something that actually works. I stumbled across this by chance and it worked like a charm!!!! He’s a big boy and I gave him 6 as he was 130 lbs. and he was chill the entire night. Of course I took precautions like closed all the windows. Turned on the air, had a movie on. But no panting, pacing or panic. I highly recommend this.

Let’s prepare ya’all!!!!!

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 Good Morning from Ida!!💓💓

She had a busy night keeping the raccoons from going inside the trap! Now she should try it lol

She was back-and-forth again all night starting at a normal time of coming around 9 AM and ended her visit around 5:36 AM this morning. We’re making good progress, but she still is extremely jumpy and won’t go in first thing.

We have been running so many long term cases lately I feel like these animals are mine.

Now that Rupert is safe we are working on another case for a sweet German Shepherd who was trapped twice, got out of the trap once, had puppies with her foster Carrie, is heart worm positive and then we thought, found a home with an adopter.

This adopter took zero precautions in making sure she was secure. Instead, he opens his door fully to then put the leash on. I’ve heard of some things happening but this- this is careless and just plain dumb.

He then couldn’t be bothered to do what was needed to start trying to secure her again. So after 2 weeks and zero communication, me being fed up, he decided it was best to just leave her out.

I’d want nothing more than to put him on blast as what he did is 100% unacceptable.

However, I’m not leaving her out. Absolutely not. He!! No.

So I reached out to the rescue and started working with the foster who trapped her initially. SHE IS AMAZING. To say the least. She is fierce like me. After we talked we found out the adopter was also lying about her progress and that we both had equipment out!!!! 🔪🔪🔪

So, I’m going to bring you along on this journey. Share her by progress and shenanigans, there are a lot, so you guys can see why we take these super hard cases. You will fail and be successful with us!

She’s been out now close to 10 weeks. We will get her. But we are training her right now.

Everyone, meet Ida. She’s got a thing for raccoons. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💓💓💓💓 Your first human failed you. You were then found and loved, then your crappy adopter failed you, but we are with your foster mom and we will NOT fail you. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹Happy Gotcha Day Rupert!!!! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

52 very long days. Sorry so long.

We worked hard. He worked harder at staying away. Rupert alluded us and if it was going to happen, it did.

Rupert was visiting with his 2 other cat siblings with mom when he was being carried in, he got spooked and bolted. 🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨🫨

Jimmy, a fellow rescuer, answered the families plea initially and headed over, set up and got sightings. Traps went out but then there were soooo many raccoons that they became a huge issue. After a week or so he reached out to see if we had any ideas. Rupert kept coming, but won’t engage the traps.

I spoke with Meg, Rupies mom, and after hearing what was going on we made a plan. He was coming to the home and engaging the garage, she was petting him and then tried to pick him up and he freaked and ran. Ugh.

We then had a neighbor who saw him go under their deck and allowed us to put the trap under there. We waited all night and kept getting a raccoon which messed with how we blocked things off and Rupert walked out at 6 AM. Another fail.

So we started over. We had him coming to Jackie’s deck and we had a bigger trap set up and had him feeding but at this point, he was actually stepping over the trigger plate. Never engaging it. So we decided to buy a remote trigger and tried that and made the attempt but unfortunately, the lid because it had to be held so high he was able to get out when we triggered it and we lost him again.

So we found him again, five houses down at Crystal‘s house. At this point he’d already been out for a few weeks and we had to establish feeding over there and introduce a bigger trap. Is it started feeling more and more like Goldilocks and the three bears with all these different size traps we were hoping that this was the one. We finally established feeding and had them coming. He was on a solid schedule. Did not miss a timeframe so we set the trap live, and this time the door closed on him, but the back door was left open. Noooooo!!!! Another fail.

But we still didn’t give up, cause that’s not what we do around here. So we fixed it very quickly had everything reset on safe and established feeding and patterns once again of course he was extremely jumpy for about the next 7 to 8 days and then we went to go live and Rupert didn’t show up.

Unfortunately, he went missing for five days and then showed back up the Friday previous. He ate in the morning. We set the trap live on Saturday and again he disappeared. Heartbroken and tired and mentally exhausted. We were all deeply saddened and I switched up our game plan.

We were going live every day, regardless of what it was.

Sure enough Tom called it, after missing for five days, showing up once, it was another exact five days to where he showed up again last night at 12:37. The Trap immediately went on live at about 6:30 AM and Rupert decided to get a snack around eight. At that point we were all holding our breath. Rupert went in and this time, WE GOT HIM!!!!!

This recovery was nothing short of a series of bad luck and then one success.

We had so many set backs. But Tom, Rupert’s grandpa worked his butt off. He was determined. THANK YOU TOM, JENN,MEG AND ANNA for keeping the faith and going the distance.

Thank you to all the families in the neighborhood that kept their eyes peeked and checked security cameras.

Crystal Sitto- THANK YOU for letting us run around your property at all hours and watching out for him. Your house was the key. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 Karen and Jackie- THANK YOU for letting us and Rupert run around for property and allowing us to trap there.

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹 Rupert’s Recovery is dedicated to our good friend Jimmys mom- whom passed away in the middle of the process. You’re in our prayers Jimmy.
❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹Sharon Lossia, I hope you’re dancing in heaven and having a great time!!!! Rest in Heaven, we have it from here.

I could go on but that would take 2 episodes on the SLM show! 🤣 There is so much more that happened!

For now- THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CARED AND SHARED! To all the families, for Kari always watching the cams on the night shift. We don’t do it alone and can’t without you!!!!

HAPPY GOTCHA DAY CUDDLE-BUG RUPERT !!! ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹

It’s time. ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
