Red Foxes

2005 Rescue & Release

"Renée" and "Renard"

Released August 24, 2005

These Red Foxes were released together after receiving separate care from MWR volunteers specially trained for their rehabilitation. They were so happy to be freed! The female kept running between the bushes and her caregiver, but eventually departed into her wild home. The male had been injured and the female orphaned, but were both about the same age. Hopefully they will stay together and mate for life. These foxes dine on small rodents and other cropland pests, yet they are hunted for sport and trapped for fur.
