Help Us Bring Our New Animal Ambassador Home

​​

What He Needs

To bring him home, we must build a species-specific enclosure designed for his unique medical and behavioral needs.

​

This includes:

  • Site excavation & drainage

  • Tree removal & landscaping

  • Custom fencing & shelter construction

  • Ongoing veterinary care & enrichment

  • Staff training in blind wildlife rehabilitation

​​

Our Goal: $50,000

This funding will ensure he has a permanent, enriching space in our Barnyard Area, along with continued rehabilitation and expert care.

​

How You Can Help

Your donation will make a direct impact in giving this fox a second chance at life—one filled with safety, stimulation, and love.


Every contribution brings us one step closer to building his forever home.

Join us in giving a forever home to a very special fox at the Hungerford Nature Center.

 

While releasing wildlife is always our ultimate goal, this young fox cannot return to the wild. After being hit by a car, he was found disoriented—walking in circles and later lying near a road. Animal control intervened, and The Wildlife-Line stepped in to provide emergency care.

​

A veterinary exam revealed inflammation in his spine and brain due to trauma. Severely dehydrated and exhausted, he began to recover with the help of steroids and supportive treatment—but sadly, he will never regain his sight.

​

Despite all he's been through, he has shown incredible resilience and a gentle, affectionate nature. He never shows aggression, even when frightened or handled for care. He delights in playing with squeaky toys and, unlike most foxes, never tears them apart—just happily listens to the sound.

​

Now, he’s ready for the next chapter: becoming a beloved animal ambassador at the Hungerford Nature Center, where he can educate and inspire visitors of all ages.
