Fox
Ringo and Starkey: New Mexico Fish & Game Confiscation -- Ringo, a white and black tree fox, and Starkey, a red fox, were owned by two ladies living in a New Mexico trailer park, and were confiscated by law enforcement officials for being kept illegally. Coming from extremely small enclosures, they were temporarily placed at a local human society. Since New Mexico has no sanctuaries where the foxes could go, TWAS rescued them, and brought them back to live in spacious quarters, where they can run, play, dig and climb (in Ringo’s case) to their hearts’ content.
Nahoni: USDA-Enforced Zoo Closure -- Nahoni was the only Fox in 18 animals facing an uncertain future when a Nebraska zoo was shut down by the USDA due to animal abuse and safety violations. Nahoni is an albino, with white fluffy fur and blue eyes. She is now living a much better life in a spacious enclosure, with plenty of good food, and the best of care.
Nova: Nebraska Rehab Center Forfeiture – Little Nova is a Fox who couldn’t be re-released into the wild – he is blind. So TWAS agreed to take him in and give him a good home. Because of continuing infections and pain, our veterinary ophthalmology specialists recommended removing his eyes. Nova has recovered perfectly and has adapted wonderfully to his new surroundings. He will eventually have his own playmates – foxes Ringo and Starkey – in a safe and loving environment, for the rest of his life.
